Team Finances/Dues:
This semester dues will be $25, you must pay this before the first paint practice/tournament to be eligible to play. Also before you will be able to play next year, you need to settle up your previous debts to the team. So if you haven't paid your dues or previous fees, get on it.
Jerseys:
We are going to be getting new jerseys this semester. If you want to go to Nationals this is a must because it allows us to get a discount on entry fee. We will be ordering FCR jerseys from RAZA and using their semi custom design, incorporating the schools colors and our own logo. Cost should be no more than $70 (probably less).
Nationals:
It is going to happen. We got approved for funding for Nationals. Entry fee and most of the paint will be covered, however we will have to cover hotel, travel, and food ourselves. That being said, the individual cost will be at least $200. We plan on bringing the best 5-7 players that are available.

Spring Semester Tournaments:
Our first tournament of the year will be in Indiana on the 24th of February. Some of the team has played here before and have good things to say about their field so it sounds promising. We will have a practice the weekend before the event, time and location to be determined.

As far as hosting our own tournament goes, the team is looking into holding the Illinois Open at Xtreme Paintball Park in Millstadt, Ill, on 4/6. Paint practice would be the weekend before.
Rec Day:
We will be holding another rec day next semester. Hopefully we will have a better turn out. Look for that to be scheduled
towards the end of the semester between Nationals and dead week.
Fitness Practices:
Kevin is going to send a survey to figure out what time everyone is available. We plan on having two a week with 50% attendance
mandatory if you want a bid for the top line ("A Team"). If you attended the meeting today, congratulations, you got two bonus points.
