Pretty sure it is open play (mix of anything), any hopper, 280fps/10.5bps.

My god that would be amazing in the cave. It would sound like a cannon!

[ChoSanJuan]

Just bought a new house... I'm a hard maybe. Will require spousal approval this year. :/

[OpusX]

Congrats on the house. Hope to see you.

[ChoSanJuan]

Good news! Got the go ahead and it looks like I'm coming!

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Definitely a maybe at the moment. Im really ready to make plans though. I need to play this.

[BrickHaus]

Hmm. 6 hour drive right down 35. Jeagers has been on my list for a long time.

But why a Sunday game? That makes for a red eye drive home, or a day off.

Im a hard maybe. Gonna look into logistics and see what works.

If i go ill probably be spending Saturday hanging out in Kansas City. Never been. .

[BrickHaus]

Yeah, if I go utll be drive down mid day Friday, and stay the weekend, but knowing big games, the event will run til 6 or so with awards and prizes. Then to pack up and red eye home to be up at 5:30am is a rough go.

That being said, Ill likely have to stay Sunday night, then drive home Mo day moening and use a PTO day.

[BrickHaus]

Well, I shot a snap about this event to a few biddies from my old team affiliated days and I got a couple of people who wanna go. Also got the go ahead from the wife.



Are there any more details on this? Seems likes the jeagers website is all last years news, and their facebook only has a small amount of info too.



The casion worth staying st or should I hit the Holiday Inn? What team is MCb on?

[OpusX]

Though it is a "big game", the style is "mass walk-on". It is just a hella huge crowd for big ass walk-on games. In the past they have opened all the cave fields into one massive 100v100 style game. Its nuts.

Ameristar is a fine enough place, and probably the best closest option.

Im cool with that, but I guess Im after paint and admission pricing. Things to bring( i assume Ill want a wagon to haul gear in?) Field rules,, ect.

Can we go play open play Saturday if we drive out Friday night? Or should we just go see that KC has to offer?

The Admission is $10, FPO, paint is currently HK Army and $64/case (there is a possibility it will have a slight discount, but nothing is finalized yet).

FPS is limited to 275 and 10.5 bps, no gear or hopper restrictions.(If you have a bunch of old electros that you can't adjust the BPS on no one will complain so long as you don't abuse them. I've run my Impluse there before and everyone was fine with it).

The HK paint is TINY. We've experienced rollouts with .680 on pumps so plan your barrel kits and markers accordingly. You'll probably want a wagon or tub to cart stuff around in, they have a bunch there but no telling where they will wander off to with a crowd this big. We'll be there early rocking Hawaiian and try and grab a couple tables. Last year they had a food truck for the outdoor fields (Play tends to start in the caves and then slowly make its way outside if the weather is nice).

I'd be down for a few games Saturday if there is interest, just keep me posted!

[BrickHaus]

Sounda like the guys Im bringing cant get Monday and Friday off, so we will be driving in Saturday. But I may still be able to get to the field and plqy a few rounds.

I can dig up a shirt to match the mcb crew if youd like, but I assume Ill wanna pump if I do.


if we are there Saturday can we claim a table, or is it all about Sunday morning?

Paint news kinda sucks. I wanted to potentially run my walz build, but if I have rollouts that badly, then Ill have to run a semi or electro, which is fine. I have a few new gats in the stable I need to get trigger time with.

On that note. Sounds like it is a pump friendly field with the fps and bps restrictions. You guys pumping, or is the target righ enviroment a bit much?

[Myrkul]

Definitely dig up a shirt or it's likely we won't be able to find you. It's a huge event, I know in past years there has been a 600+ turn out, although last year covid dropped those numbers quite a bit.

Tables are first come first served, so it's all about Sunday morning.

Yah I hear you on the paint. It's made several of my markers flat out unusable. That being said I have a bag of D3fy field paint (0.684) from back before the supply chain issues that I've been saving for this, I'm not going to be able to pump that all by myself in a day...you are welcome to share it with me. It would be awesome if there were 4 walz markers going at the same time, OpusX & nobbie333 and myself all have walz builds too.

It's a super pump friendly environment for the most part, but we tend to change it up a lot. With this many people the extra bps of a semi is pretty nice to have, especially at the start of a match when you can just arc a string into a mass of 40+ people all sprinting to the tape at the same time.
