It's Back!! and brought to you by the same people as last year!

PRE REG OPENS MAY 4, 2008




Picasso Lake's 10 man tournament will be held at Picasso Lake on July 26th. The tournament will be on the Beach and the Maze fields this year, hopefully give teams more rest and make it run faster... and due to the popularity from last year and the good reviews we are bumping up the maximum teams to 12...

Prices are as follows:

$300 per team (must be pre-reged)

$60 a case if pre-ordered (individual players can pre-order doesn't need to be a team order)

$65 per case day of event

Trophies and Prizes will be awarded


Rules are very similar to last year...

Picasso Lake 10 Man Tournament Rules:

Tournament format will be round-robin. All teams will play all other teams 1 time, totaling 11 games per team. Teams play for points (scoring system below), with the team possessing the most points at the end of the tournament being declared the winner. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.

Games will be center flag.

The scoring system is as follows:
(Out of a possible 100 points)
20 points will be awarded to the team with the first flag pull
40 points will be awarded to the team with the flag hang
3 points will be awarded per elimination made by the team
1 point will be awarded to the team for each remaining player at the game's end

Points are cumulative (ie. If the first place team receives 100 points every game, they will win the tournament possessing 900 points).

10 players per team are allowed on the field, with an alternate being allowed to switch in at the beginning of the round. Rosters will be filled out before play begins.

A coin flip determines each team's starting position the first game

Games end when either the flag is hung or 15 minutes elapse.

The only acceptable firing modes are pump and semi-automatic (one shot per trigger pull). Response triggers, full-auto, ramping, etc., are all illegal firing modes. Penalties will be incurred for using illegal firing modes.

Field FPS/Chrono limit is 280 feet per second. Players' equipment will be chronographed before and after each game, as well as randomly during game play. Penalties will be incurred for shooting above the designated limit.

Two layers of clothing maximum
-tac-vests count as 1 layer, as do jerseys
-no sweatshirts or padded clothing
-no over-sized clothing or "blousing" (all shirts and jerseys must be tucked in)

If players become further than 5ft. from any of their equipment during play, that equipment is out of play (pods and squeegees excluded).

False starting results in player's elimination.

Strict penalties for overshooting, wiping, unsportsmanlike conduct, arguing with referees and disrupting game play.

Upon elimination, players are expected to leave the playing field immediately. Failure to do so will result in a "disrupting game play" penalty.

If any part of the body/equipment still in play leaves the playing field, the player in possession of such is eliminated (pods and squeegees again excluded).

If a flag carrier is marked out, the flag will be hung back at the center. When the flag is hung, the flag hanger will be checked, and if found to be marked out, the flag will be hung again at the center.

Bunkering is not permitted. "Tap outs" only.

All team members must have matching uniforms (matching attire is acceptable).

Gun shots will count.

Smoke grenades will be allowed, but must be purchased from the field.

Field paint only (paint prices are listed above per case and will be revealed on game day).

There will be a captain's meeting the day of the tournament at TBA. Gameplay will begin at TBA

Any comments or concerns about the rules please post all feedback will be considered

***ALSO CARPOOLING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF POSSIBLE DUE TO LIMIT PARKING***

any questions or comments please post and we will get back to you.

ummm, maybe, probably up for it this year.

What the heck is a 'tap out' rule??. You don't actually suggest physically touching (tap?) the player here?

I ask this because I get in trouble with bunkering rules, especially when fields consider 'under 20 feet'....

If this rule implies a 'tapout' is a successful (without being marked) 'slide and slam' into the opposite side of an occupied bunker, that might be fun and sucessful, but 'tapping' other players in a fast paced game seems unconventional in a game physical contact is normally prohibited.

I think they are talking about "tapping" the bunker, but I guess that sort of thing probably bears clarification considering the word usage.

In my parlance, a "tap out" is a much different and far more intrusive idea. Let's just say, I would prefer to be overshot at close range than "tapped out".



I appreciate the long notice and commend all involved. I, too, am likely in. I had a great time last year and I would love for this to become a traditional game.

I thought about that too, but I wasn't going there!
