If MCB entered a team in the 2022 Ontario Classic ...

Meleager7 Not at the moment, but I'm happy to inquire with some people.

For something memorable like this event could be, $250 seems reasonable to me!

[Meleager7]

As long as our team has enough autocockers, we should be able to hold them back! :P

I’d be in I think a 10 man team with perhaps 13 players to have some to spare out others. Would be ideal. If prices are same as this year and with projection of not making it too far I suspect 2 cases each be more than enuff.

So total cost for each player be ruffly $250ish that’s doable I think. Count me in if we want make this happen.

Never been to Ontario even. My wife’s family was from Sioux Lookout though, so on my list of places to visit.

[Meleager7]

Got any Aeroplan, or Westjet Miles to burn up?

[Cdn_Cuda]

Given the hypothetical nature I’m going to pretend to be in Ontario for this one. I’d use my current Dragon cocker build with the ID hinge frame, 50cu tank (I have short arms), DW barrel .

Backup gun with be my ID’d Empire Ressi. My only other mechs are Tippmanns.

[Meleager7]

I think there is a special rule, that if any player runs a PPS Hurricane , their team automatically wins the tournament !

[Meleager7]

Hi Razr, do you have any insight into the costs involved?

[Cdn_Cuda]

I’m pretty sure I have a spare A5 grip in my tool box.

If you dont mind getting run over by some D3 and D4 samdbaggers on a team with a few unranked players on their roster, then the classic is for you!

I was there for a bit cheering on Dementia and getting my cocker back from their tech. I watched Iron Lungs (team with mostly RC Seadogs) steamroll everyone with their M170rs and mech Amps, those things are FAST! The rest of the teams were just there for fun and the mounds field is a ton of fun. The guy who tech'd my cocker even used his VM68 for a point.

If we played 2022, I'd go with my VF Tactical, Tac One and Emek

[Meleager7]

Playing a mech tourney has been on my bucket list since coming back to the game!

Hypothetically, what would be involved to make this happen? Hmmmm.....if Adrenaline runs the 5-man tourney format again, that might make sense, considering our current Ontario MCB numbers.

Maybe we recruit for 10 players , 5 to play at any given time, 5 as subs for fresh legs , or for injuries, and we just rotate players into the games throughout the day?

I think a big barrier is cost, the team entry fee split over 10 is probably not too bad, but the paint !? I don't know how many cases would be needed for a mech tourney like this?

If anyone reading this thread with mech tourney experience and knows the costs involved could chime in, that'd be great!

[Tinybear]

I’d go if the extra man is needed but I’d feel bad for the team.

I know I shouldn’t but it’s sounds fun and well I willing to give it a go.

I think the first and only attempt I've made at a tournament was about 20 years ago - what's (hypothetically) involved in the Classic?

[Jordan]

I do have a Hurricane and Blazer to use, if we needed more autococking equipment... 🙂

If Ultimate proved anything, the Hurc would be a great distraction.
