Hey, DeTrevni. Mind if we all crash at your place then? 'Cause the NPPL is holding a tournament in Houston those dates. I know you're going to hit that trade show hard. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

No, the PSP sucks now too. The NPPL sucks because of their reffing and bull crap calls, and running Joy Division away. The PSP sucks for changing everything in a perfect format.

We need a list of all those planning to attend. And once the date gets closer, how to meet everyone. Definately would be cool to just say hi to most of you, even though it might be awkward, but atleast we can say we met. |

I nominate DeTrevni since he is closest to home  I'm definitely there. Tallen, sponsor a tippmann team for the cats that have no one to play with but will be there, just for fun. That way people like Skillet or jmac have incentive to go. -------------

You know Gatyr, that might be fun! Especially when the Mini-98 project is done. I'll have at least 3 of them to use and they're going to be fast. Good idea! Even if we do get spanked!
I'm pretty sure we can make it into the "noob" tournament level no problem. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Alright, I'll start finding out exactly what all we need to do. DeTrevni, Jmac3, myself, probably my friend Tim Fougnie, we need 3 more. Skillet, you down?

If it didn't cost a lot, I would be down to play. I've been in a few tourneys in the rookie division. My team does very well. By that time of the year, I will have enough money to pay for it most likely and much more experience. |

Well, when I used to play, we figured on 3cs per person per day if it was a 1-day all-day tourney. I'll see if I can't pull some strings with the managers I'm friends with at the local Pev's stores here in VA and see if we can't get a "sponsor" price on the paint. I might be able to get them to convince Todd to ship it out with his sponsored team stuff so we wouldn't have to worry about getting it to the field. It'll all be pro-caps, so we'd be shooting good stuff.
Robo, I've got to see what the entrance fees are and whatnot, but I might be able to get some of the stuff covered so the cost wouldn't be too bad. Ohh... I can probably get Guiness to cover the jerseys!  ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Now see, THERE'S an idea. Start a convoy of picking people up on the way, I'd be down for that. Though, it's not an issue of transportation; I'm D2, and NPPL doesn't allow D2 players on D3 teams. |

Well USAF, if you're going to be playing with a D2 team out there and need a ride, we could probably swing it anyway. That said, when we finalize this thing, we'll need to figure out a transit-route so that we can take care of transportation as easily as possible. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Well, I'll be the first to say, I'm a recballer. I play when I want to have fun. I'm not sponsored and have only competed in one official event (MXS scenario). But I love the sport, and if you tell me we're in this, I'll have an E-Bolted Tippmann the likes of which God or your mama (whomever you hold in higher esteem) has never seen. I've always wanted to play in a sanctioned tourney and meet a lot of you guys. This is gonna be one crazy experience, and I'll gear down for it.

Ha. We should definitely do this. I am completely serious. Paint's only like $30 a case anyway without sponsorship. It wouldn't be as bad as what I did last year. I least I "know" you people. Last year I jumped on a completely PBnation made team to play Boston. There were 7 people from 7 different states. Put together on the last day registration was taken. ------------- Que pasa?
