I should have hotel info posted sometime this week. I'm trying to reach the locals right now for an event rate despite it being football weekend.

Will advise.

its family weekend for EIU. but we'll see if we can get some guys together for it.

Best Western in Whitmore Lake is the closest and probably the cheapest option available on that weekend (remember, it's also football weekend).

And on the lake.

If you book 14 days in advance, the rate is only $79.99 plus taxes(http://www.bestwesternmichigan.com/h...whitmore-lake/) but after will go as high as $99.99 plus taxes.

If you're not sure yet if your squad is making this, at least book with the hotel now since you can always cancel later (remember, you're going up against the football crowd).

what division/region are we?

The True BushMaster · #9 09-01-2008, 04:13 PM

How many teams are registered?
Mizzou is thinking of making or first NCPA outing since being re-established.

arcaneuofm · #10 09-01-2008, 11:41 PM

Right now 5 are in PLUS U of M's 2-3 lines in the next 2 weeks. MichState said they would drop in a line also. Check the APPA site for the current dance card.

Just a friendly reminder that early registration ends in 12 days.

There are a few OH, IN, and IL schools we have yet to hear from. Still early though.

Just sound off so we can get an idea if you're coming / still active.

DMoore · #12 09-12-2008, 02:02 PM

NIU will be there. We will most likely be sending two lines.

DMoore · #13 09-12-2008, 02:24 PM

What's the layout for the field going to be? Or if you don't know, when will we know?

arcaneuofm · #14 09-12-2008, 04:37 PM

Futureball's field is 10 feet narrower than regulatation so it's kinda up in the air on using Phoenix (again since it was so much fun) or NEO.

We'd consider Chicago but that requires the full width of the field.

Anyone have a preference?

PaintballPat723 · #15 09-12-2008, 04:46 PM

ive played NEO, any pics of phoenix?

PaintballPat723 · #17 09-12-2008, 04:57 PM

i dont care, ive played the NEO layout but Phoenix looks fun

arcaneuofm · #18 09-12-2008, 05:03 PM

NEO was recent while Phoenix was at 2 different NCPA events this past winter.

Chris offered to see if he can get a layout from Adrenaline that hasn't been used yet.

(THIS WILL NOT BE WORLD CUP).

PaintballPat723 · #19 09-12-2008, 05:20 PM

idc as long as we get pics first

arcaneuofm · #20 09-12-2008, 05:23 PM

When I know, you'll know.
