A hotel information link would be helpful. I will be there with River RAGE from River Splat. This is the least we can do for our Hero's!

Scott, send me some flyers or a .PDF and I will spread the word up this way for you. Infact if you would like my wife can have press release sent out up here as well?? Shoot me a PM.

Are you reffing it or playing it? How many people so far are coming? We about have our "fun" ten locked up for this.

MiD WeSt BaLlA · 09-12-2008, 10:13 PM

I tried to get my father-in-law to bring the como/mexico cops but I dont think he could get some guys to go to Springfield. I ref last year and everyone there had a blast!

The event is this Saturday. Again ALL net proceeds go to the charity!!

trip2006 · 09-26-2008, 05:46 PM

there is no cap. number for this event so why are you turning teams away the are driving 4 hours to come play. you also say reg or not reg every one should be ready to play bye 9:30

jrhummel · 09-26-2008, 05:58 PM

Yep, sucks. Hope you raise a good amount of money for our wounded hero's, looks like you didnt want mine, but the hotel I'm not staying at raised itself $63.00 for nothing

RIPsaw475 · 09-26-2008, 09:25 PM

^^^Both very valid points. I was really looking forward to playing together and having a fun day for a great cause. I did not think it was possible to turn away charity? I am still kinda in shock?

bmpnugls · 09-26-2008, 10:26 PM

^^ Amen... with the state of paintball business in MO these days it's hard to believe any field would turn business away!...

RepN the 417 · 09-30-2008, 10:14 PM

Nothing was intentional guys, I promise you we would not turn away any team if we didn't have to.

Event went good though.

OK, then...my question, which we never really got a good explaination..why did you have to turn away teams/players?

Karnage Paint & Gear · 10-01-2008, 03:00 PM

Unfortunately we were just the host and the radio station that was promoting it had us have a cut off. (we actually took 15 extra people over what the cut-off was) this was not intentional on our part to exclude you it was based on a first come first serve paid players and we were not for sure you guys were coming until your email the day before. Unfortunately by then we did not have the spots available. We truly are sorry. We had to turn a few away at the door. I couldnt tell you why this year they had a cut-off but they did. Last year there wasnt a cut-off.

still sucks balls, i was so pumped for that event.

RIPsaw475 · 10-01-2008, 06:03 PM

This is all fine and dandy. But more information on your flyer and maybe better communication with one of your accounts/customers might have made this alot more fun for all parties mentioned. If we needed to "pre-pay" that should have been mentioned back on AUGUST 20th when I posted we were coming. Your flyer did not require it.

I am not against you bringing us up a bunch of goodies to wipe away the tears when the 7man takes place. No field or business runs like a clock, thanks for the information. Good to know in the future.
