The registration fees are the same or lower than any other major event in the country.

The field paint is top of the line quality (Inferno) paint cheaper than you can buy it anywhere, much less will not stain anything if you wash your gear. Try it sometime!

Now that the two new 10-Man X-Ball and 20-Man XX-Ball fields are being built, I think you'll see a lot of leagues & tournaments at HS next year.  HS has not held any tournaments because they didn't have any tournament fields.

I'm going with The Guy on this one fully.

Isn't stuff like this supposed to be aimed mostly at what the customer wants, as best as the field can....and you're here telling them what they want is wrong?...ok then.

Seems to me you'd do fine with a lower entry fee, since they're already buying your paint, and if the numbers are truely as high as you claim...then why such high admission?  Couldnt you charge a couple bucks each and still be raking it in?  Do what you gotta do man, but people have done nothing but complain about your field for the last while.

and I really don't think you wanna hear anything from the OMHW on the subject.


Face it Dave, you're not wanted here.

I made the mistake of going to the monster game last year, won't happen again until the prices get lowered on something.

nah, if you cut back on the refs then you will only be back to the same old problems...

Yeah, now that that little outburst is over, how about actually finding out what the customers want? Last year I was actually planning on making the 600 mile trip out there for the TWC, but between hearing bad reviews and seeing that your prices have gone up, along with the fact that some forum regulars wouldn't be attending(really the main draw for the TWC, finally getting to sling paint with these guys and see which ones are just keyboard commandos) I said screw it and played more local big games. Sure, more people are getting into the sport, you can probably pull large numbers for events like this from 14 year olds who's parents will pay for it, but since you'd be driving away more mature players with jobs, you'd need even more refs. I kinda thought there was a possibility that the OMHW were being drama queens about the whole deal, but your outburst was totally out there. There are plenty of big games closer to home I can go to if I want to get raped. And quite a few than won't screw me. Act like an adult and try to at least consider some of the complaints people have. As for inferno, yeah, it's good, expensive paint, but isn't it a bit thin shelled, especially for guns like tippmanns that between high pressure, flatline barrels, and cyclone feeds, aren't know for being gentle on paint?
