Aug 21st, 2010 - Panama City (HWY 77 Extreme) - South East Airsoft Game Day

Ok guys, I am trying to get an idea who would be able to attend a game at Highway 77 Extreme Paintball so that we can get a headcount and possible sponsor for the game day. Here is what we are planning:

So far we have 9+ different game types. All of them are fast paced, easy to learn, and should challenge all players regardless of loadout or replica. We will be giving 'prizes' (mostly SEA swag items) for the best players and the most sportsmanlike players that we see. We have 3 people that will be acting as game organizers and referees to minimize any downtime. We plan to have quick games followed by even quicker resets at the staging area. Teams will not be set in concrete since each game will allow for a quick team picking if we want to even things out. There will be no charge from SEA, just the field fee for the field itself ($10 thanks to Mack).

JoeSnuffie and I have run quite a few games together and have done this more than once so expect a great game day with a lot of activity. If we get all of the swag in that we have ordered then pretty much everyone will go home with something.

Put simply we will be talking about airsoft in the area and playing a lot of games throughout the day with a lunch break. Please let me know if you would be able to attend. I would like to get all of the players in the panhandle and beyond together for a great game day that is organized and exciting with some new challenges for all to enjoy.

Tentative time 9am - 5pm. Lunch break 1 hour.

Sounds good, Will let you know once I am actually off the ship

might be able that is my sons birthday

This will be a day of fast paced games. The longest game format will be 30 minutes. Some games will be 10 minutes or less. Be prepared to gear up quickly in between rounds. Water is provided on site. The field also has a nice facility for food and onsite rentals and repairs. South East Airsoft will be handing out SEA logo gear during the day in recognition of sportsmanlike conduct and exceptional player skills or attitude.

It looked like everyone was having a lot of fun. Hopefully we can get some good feedback from this game to incorporate into the future games. We may switch themes for next month and do a MilSim day with props and such instead of the RvB games like we ran today, but that depends on feedback!

At my count here were the game types:
3 x [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
1 x [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

That puts us at a damn record for games for a day as far as I can tell! Once everyone had the concept down for picking teams and getting arm banded it was a breeze. Our average downtime between games was a mere 8 MINUTES! That is amazingly fast considering it was also giving the rules, getting into position, and starting the game. I was surprised that only 20 people came out for the game after the tons of responses I got from people and teams saying that they would be there. Hopefully everyone that did play will spread the word and we can double that number next time.

I want to give a great big THANKS to everyone for playing so hard and enduring the heat and (short lived) rain to make it all day out there. I am pretty sure we converted a couple of people from paintball over as well due to everyones willingness to help the new players out and get them into the sport with open arms. I do hope that everyone enjoys their swag that they were given. Hope to see it in use at the next game.
