What team are we playing on this year?

Looks like Chris and the Mayhem guys are going green

Sorry to double post but are we doing a pump game the day before? I had more fun on that last year than the castle game.

Pump Jam Saturday is GO!

[Magageddon]

after that monsoon last year, I think I'll be staying away from this game

The Expandables FB page says Luke picked Red this year.

[netsurferdude2]

Of course Luke would pick red.

[Chuck E Ducky]

It’s a sickness…

[spydrmn]

I'm already registered for Red. See you there!

[Chuck E Ducky]

Might come out for a pump day if there is enough interest.

Pump games were worth the weekend last year. The castle game is a spectacle I’m glad I played and would do it again but it’s not really my jam… lol I see what I did thar.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I do like the way they break up the day attacking then defending. It will definitely be weather dependent for me as it’s a long ride to play in the rain. But I would definitely prefer pump play day to slinging ropes of paint at windows all day. I have played that field we ran a MCB get together there last year and it turned out to be a fun day. If we could get a bunch of pump players together the day before I would definitely be down for the drive. Big games are very rarely good paintball (I agree not my Jam) Especially judging by the few walk on games we played there at the end of the day and the clientele it can attract. I will come out for a pump get together tho. Probably bring some friends to.

I could do a pump day on the fourth. Imma pass on a castle big game. I swear big games are just an excuse for some folks to bonus ball

[COB]

I'm in for both days. Red team

[netsurferdude2]

I think Bret organized the pump day last year. BretG are you taking the reigns or do you want me to reach out?

[Chappy]

I’m on the fence about Sunday, I have to see what I can do with my schedule that weekend. But I’m thinking at least Saturday and stay the night. We had a good time last year on Saturday night and I hear rumors we should have a good mcb turnout

[netsurferdude2]

Talked to Bret. I am going to call and set up the pump day for Saturday. Details to follow tomorrow.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I bet we can get a good turn out for a pump day before. Only thing competing with it that month would be Slims game but that is 2 weeks later. It’s just a big travel weekend for a lot of the pump guys.

[BretG]

I think we had about 20 players last year for the pump games

[BretG]

The pump games last year were far more enjoyable than the Castle game, but there was a deluge on Sunday. Saturday at the field is a walk on day, but the event pass for the Castle Jam Sunday game covered the Saturday as well.
We arrived Saturday and did our Sunday registration, played all day, did the hotel thing and arrived fresh as daisies on Sunday morning for the flood.

[netsurferdude2]

Did we even have a ref last year for the pump game? I remember they chronoed us but don't remember needing one.

[BretG]

It was a kid and he took us to the fields.

[Chuck E Ducky]

If it’s the regular traveling pump crew probably don’t even need one.

[spydrmn]

When was the last time we really needed a ref?

[BretG]

Registered Red team. Elizabeth too.
