UWL South Dakota

Kyle Muhlenbeck · 02-13-2013, 12:32 AM

Hey there all, I'm from Sioux Falls and I just want to know if there is even enough interest to start a UWL team around the area. If you are interested, sound off in the feed and maybe we can start talking about a UWL South Dakota team. Thanks!

Update:
Alright, obviously we don't have confirmation on everyone that would be participating, but I'd like to post these potential event dates so those who are interested know what we're looking at for a season. The 10 man events are obviously dependent on if we can get that many guys to play. For more info on rules and cost if you're interested but aren't sure yet, go to playuwl.com Feel free to email me, pm me, or message me on facebook. Thanks all.

Update:
For those wondering about prices, we would be playing in the "Tactical Division" which for 5 man costs $350 per team and 10 man costs $750 per team. We would be required to play in the "Open Division" if we had any pro's or "legends" but I don't think we will. The next cost would be paint. The nice thing about the UWL series is that it is bring your own paint. So that cost depends on if we find a deal/sponsor on paint. Another option that I have seen some teams do is have each individual bring their own paint. We will discuss paint when more people commit. And the final cost of travel and lodging is another unknown, but most of the events take place right near Omaha.

I could be convinced........

Some South Dakota players have been talking about getting a UWL team together this year and playing events down in Nebraska, and possibly other states. With the new Ufford Hills field having a woodsball field, and the interest of many players, I think we should begin using this thread for players to post information regarding the UWL tournaments, players interested in playing to ask questions, or anything else.

Kyle Muhlenbeck · 02-22-2013, 11:07 AM

I've updated the original post so that folks can see potential event dates. Thanks all.

takingadip · 02-23-2013, 03:07 AM

I am down. Jackson B.

ammoeller · 02-25-2013, 07:18 PM

I'd be down, but i'd need to know approximate costs before committing. Kids are expensive.

Kyle Muhlenbeck · 02-25-2013, 09:22 PM

Hey Aaron, nice to see you here! I updated the OP with prices per team. For a five man team with just the bare minimum of 5 guys its $70 per person, and the ten man with just ten guys would be $75 per person. The paint situation will be interesting because it is BYOP for UWL tournaments. We could each bring our own paint or line up a paint sponsor or even get a deal at Scheels or something... That'd be something we figure out a little later. And I have no idea what travel costs will be..

Do you by chance have any more info on the field? As in is it for sure going to be open? If so when? What kind of air fills? Entry/paint costs? Byop? I'm quite interested in a new field in the area even though its 1.5 hours from me lol.

The owner of Ufford Hills and I are talking right now about the different possibilities of helping out a South Dakota UWL team. We will present some options to the leaders of the group as soon as possible. What I can say now:

1. The field is open and has been open for one season. We have a tire field, log field, woodsball field. This year we are developing the woodsball field to be more UWL friendly, adding another log field, adding to the tire field, and possibly adding a alamo field. Also, we recently purchased a large amount of air bunkers and will squaring out a air field.

2. Currently the field is only open by reservation, but regular hours will start up again on April 1. Check out hours and other details on links at bottom of post.

3. The airfills we currently have will fill a little past 4000.

4. All costs, rules, and prices can be found on the links below.

We are interested in more players becoming interested in tournaments and the Ufford Hills staff is prepared to develop along with SD players.

I've been talking to the owner of Ufford Hills some on FB...When the weather gets nicer "ie...snow not a-hole deep" I'm going down there for a weekend and help him lay out a woods field. Not trying to sound cocky but from the people I've talked to in SD about this and the age of most of the guys "I'm old, lol" I have more tournament experience in the woods than everyone else does. If any of you Sioux Falls boys want to tag along let me know, probably wont be playing much, just laying a field out and seeing what needs done & or changed.

Kyle Muhlenbeck · 02-26-2013, 06:43 PM

Just let me know when you're going. Tyler and I would love to come with.

taylorhamblin · 02-27-2013, 04:17 AM

Yes, build a woodsball field. Save me some hastle when I get back.

I am going to be talking to some owners of fields who have hosted UWL and get their opinions on what they think goes into a great UWL field.

Hopefully be able to post some thoughts and opinions soon.

Taylor, I'll also talk to a few Pro players I know who have played some UWL events and see if I can get a little input on field layouts and stuff like that. I know a few guys who have played some events in the past so maybe I can get in touch with them.

taylorhamblin · 02-27-2013, 10:12 AM

Here is my standing with the UWL team in South Dakota. I will not be able to participate as a player with the team. My committments to Ufford Hills Paintball, Mac Daddy Allstars, and USD paintball have produced a schedule which cannot take the additional time needed to be a member of a team.

I am available to be support staff for the team at tournaments, thats about it... I will be able to help with practices a little, as long as they are at Ufford Hills.

Well that sucks but I understand where your coming from...

taylorhamblin · 03-03-2013, 04:29 AM

Ya I wish I could do more, but I think I can still help a lot being the manager of the field this team will hopefully being playing at a lot. We do have more players who said they are interested and Alex and I are attempting to redirect them to these threads. I was reffing both divisions last year for the ten pan, and although there was great teams playing in the lower division, I think a SD team would have a chance.

DefTone · 03-03-2013, 04:00 PM

Even if you could pit crew at the UWL events that would be a great help...Can't ever have to many pod *****es around, LOL!!!!

taylorhamblin · 03-06-2013, 11:59 AM

No doubt, we do have a leauge started up for some of the local factory guys and we will do intramurals for USD. Hopefully get the team some competition from this lot.

taylorhamblin · 03-08-2013, 09:36 AM

Does anyone know of any other local UWL teams in the area? The only UWL teams I have seen compete in our area is the ones from Lincoln, NE.
