If this post seems generic it is, becuase I have to update three other forums regarding this topic. Airsoft Advance has generously offered to host a thread on their forums and I think it would be wise to take them up on the offer. Thank you to the other teams for offering a thread/sub-forum. Check AirsoftAdvance.com for more updates.
I talked with Larry in more detail about having a once a month gathering of airsofters at DFWAP and he has agreed to do so.
We just need to come up with a simple schedule. It's in our best interest to keep it simple and stick with a repetitive weekend. Example the first Saturday of every month there is a game at DFWAP. This will allow folks to schedule in advance time off or plan family weekend activities in advance. Also, this helps with other events that Larry hosts.
Larry stated that no brightly colored BBs are allowed; i.e., neon. He would accept white colored BBs for the time being, but wants a more earth color (green, brown, black) to be phased in.
For those worried about having to wear full face masks (i.e., paintball masks) you do not have to, even if you are under 18. The rule is as long as the goggles that protect the eyes is TASO compliant you are good to play. (And everyone should be anyways. Not a biggy.)
When asked about the playing fields I specifically said it has to be deep woods and/or pond. He is fine with that and can schedule us exclusive use.
Now everything is basically at a stand still until a consensus is formed on what weekend is the best. Traditionally second and third weekends are taken by paintball scenario producers and they take a huge amount of backwoods. Parking would also be an issue. This leaves the first or last weekend of the month to be decided on. So I need to hear from you. Not only what weekend within the month, but what day (Sat or Sun). I understand Spec Ops runs ops at DFWAP, so those months we can schedule in advance not to have a gathering.
Once we nail down a time (with in this week) I need to find captains/co-captains to plan the first outting. I don't want dirt kicking and butt scratching figuring out what to do the first outting. Maybe we can come up with a set system to maximize trigger time and allow teams to rotate against each other every month. Thus working on learning to work together and fight against each other.
So here is a recap on what I need from you. I need your vote on having a monthly gathering the first or last weekend of the month and what day (Sat or Sun) of that weekend. If you are a CO, SL, or TL you can vote for your team and just say how many are in your team. It's up to you to update your team and gain feedback. |
