*original post*
Jackson and I are trying to organize a pump/pistol game (perhaps tourny if there is enough interest) at Three Rivers Paintball. There is no definite date sent (although it would be a Saturday) but we just want to see how much interest there would be for something like this. The setup would be 5 player per team and 3 flag bases (think SPPL style). Field would be large and allow for stealthy maneuvering to score points. If you have an interest in this PM me or Jackson and we will get you some more info. Thanks.

As Crimson said, any questions, PM one of us. We're trying to get just a general rec day going sometime in October with the tourney (or bigger day depending on interest) in the Spring.

Depending on date and my schedule I'm totally into this. My guess is that destro7976 would be down with that too. If we're in, we could probably scare up some pumpers from our area as well (non-MCBer's but decent players).

That would be awesome. I should have a date figured out after this upcoming weekend, so stay tuned for updates.

Id most likely be willing to make the drive depending on a time estimate.

If a caravan or something were to go up from MD, I might be interested. Time and date dependent, of course.

What part of October would be best for you guys? Im talking to the owner of the field tomorrow and it would be good to just have a general idea when we could have the max amount of people show up.

Yes, the time and date would be important.

TRPs Back to the Basics Tourny
Ok, tenative date is the 18th of OCT. It is a Saturday and I have emailed the owner about perhaps having the sign-in be an hour earlier (11am) for the pumpers and pistoleers that show up. We may have a few guys from a PA scenario team, Band of Brothers coming too. If there are enough people for more that 2 teams, every team will play each other. We will have it set up so that everyone gets equal playing time. This is more or less a preliminary pistol/pump day, with bugs being worked out of the system. The more people that show up the better and we want plenty of feedback. Spread the word! TRP's Back to the Basics Tourny is coming soon!
