If my input has any weight, it will be three man. Botttom line is it is Anthonys decision.

Bring Rum, Rum always helps.

I think it makes things a whole lot easier if it’s 3man. It is much easier to find two teammates instead of four (and its less people you have to depend on showing up). If a team is travelling from far away they can take one car instead of two. For those coming from way out of town and need a floor to crash on, it is easier to find someone who is willing to put up 3 people than someone willing to put up 5.

Things to bring up in the meeting:
How about giving the pump crowd actual tables instead of the old wooden spools.

Making the wait time shorter between games (there was one point last tournament where me and my team waited for almost 2 hours between games). I know this isn’t 100% their fault, but it’s something that needs to be fixed.

More chronographs at the start of the day. It’s a pain when there are 30+ people in the chrono area and only on chronograph).

The time between gaames is being addressed. They are throwing around a few ideas to deal with it. I can mention the rest of the stuff. Perhaps all can be taken care of at once? As far as the spools, some pump teams had tables. Just need to share due to limited space.

3 man would def make is easier to field teams. Whatever format will keep the NEPL running the event. I will support to the fullest.

Fluff · 01-06-2012, 05:43 PM

The NEPL will run whatever keeps people coming, from what I have seen. Theey are very responsive to the players. This is why I support them wholeheartedly.

i think 3 man is def the way to go for now. I would LOVE too see at least ONE team from every state in New England! that would be AWESOME!!! My only real issue is that i would really like to see some kind of prizes for the pump division... even if it is small, the winning team should get something? and yea some legit tables would be nice too lol

lol prizes for pumpers is a weird thing. Like thing of a normal tournament second place is rotors....WTF am i gonna do with a rotor? I think a sweet prize would be......

1st free admission/case of paint to the next event
2nd Free case of at the next event
3rd Some sweet super stanchy longsleeves

Im just happy to get the chance to compete. I see pump events like PP and anything i take part is as like a chance too see my extended family. I'd def be down to pay 25 or 50 bucks more a team to get some type of prizes

NSGSplatmaster · 01-06-2012, 11:04 PM

I think we need to have regular and dependable participation at events before worrying about prizes. I think trophies and medals are fine for now. Chronographs have always been an issue, they always roll with those two...it'd go a bit better if people didn't take forever and weren't idiots about their guns (DURRR WHICH WAY IS UP?) Same thing with staging space, I don't mind sharing spools. The EVENT ITSELF is the most important thing right now, the other considerations can be brought up when we have more of a presence.

its gotta be a 50/50 split. The players need to show up and regardless of turnout NEPL has to treat the players well.

Rome wasnt built in a day and neither will the east coast tourney pump scene.
