CrusaderPB · 09-20-2011, 11:13 PM

Hey guys,

I just grabbed the APPA link from the NEIC South planning thread, I figured it isn't too early to post a thread discussing the (rescheduled) Liberty Open. It will be held November 5th at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Some quick details:

Date: Saturday, November 5th
Price: $150 by Wednesday, October 26th
Paint: Redemption, $45 or Graffiti, $40
Location: Liberty University campus, Lynchburg VA 24502
Layout: TBA

Liberty has 2 turfed fields... so it can handle quite a lot of teams!!

Teams Attending:
1) Liberty (I hope... =p)
2) Eastern Kentucky Colonels
3) Virginia Commonwealth University
4) Virginia Tech Hokies
5) Temple (maybe)
6) ...

Local Hotel:
This appears to be cheap and really close...

Layout: Will be announced October 22nd

Hotels: Extended Stay is very close. Also the Wingate Hotel is the closest and we have a partnership with them, I will get a discounted rate.
Paint: We will have Valken Redemption $45 and Graffiti $40.
Refs: People sometimes think we stack the refs with liberty guys... NOT TRUE. I hire local refs/players/teams to do the reffing.
Extras: Will have concessions available. We have the scoreboard mounted and working on one field (praying it stays working) and we will run the Lurker Scoreboard App on the other with a sound system (if we have enough teams to need two fields). For before or after the tournament there is an awesome Hibachi Buffet, and Snowflex (year round ski slope).
We are advertising this with the University and local media. Hoping to have lots of spectators.
If you have any questions, let me know.

Really excited for this event. Liberty has an amazing facility and it should be a good showing with having two conferences together.

Oh, for sure. Much improved. Would love for you guys to keep going and move into Class A in the future, having an all VA conference would be cool.

Yeah I noticed that too, so then I updated the first post with it too. That was weird...

Reigning champs will be in the building.

HoktFonix · 09-27-2011, 09:59 PM

Hoping to bring 2 lines... we'll see.

Clemson is planning on showing up

crazeebballer · 10-07-2011, 09:40 AM

Believe this is the first date for our class A conference
Once it's confirmed I'll let you know if Towson is able to come.

tchalien · 10-11-2011, 11:44 AM

11 teams signed up right now... Who else is coming?
I need to know if we go over 16 teams to use 2 fields, which means more refs.
Post up.

coolh20s · 10-11-2011, 08:08 PM

Georgia State will have one line. Registering now.

puckswontpassme · 10-13-2011, 05:09 PM

CrusaderPB · 10-13-2011, 05:35 PM

^Exactly why it'll be a fun event!!

Hey Todd, you said you were going to secure discounts for one of the hotels... any details on that?

tchalien · 10-13-2011, 06:17 PM
