Tore at Xtreme worked it out with John at Sudden Impact. SPE to be at Xtreme this year, just outside of St. Louis. Hope to see you there.
Yes! SPE is at Xtreme paintball park this year!
20 minutes from St.Louis Missouri. The event you know and love will be the same format, as usual. We are working on other details. Nearby hotel info coming soon! Camping will be allowed at the field. More to come.

Interesting. Good move taking that on. What's the deal with sudden impact? Jeff emceeing this?


That photo... all I can think about is that epic debate on PBN 10yrs ago re: using those bounce jerseys at open play.

Shane-O and Spaceman running the event, according to FB link. I know Tore got he OK from John at SI. No idea what's up with SI. I miss playing events there.

Hmm, a new field to try.

It's a good one. Real bathrooms, paved parking, tons of staging pavilions.

Can't say I remember that, but their are some strong opinions often not conveyed well on the Interwebs. Most of us are older, more chill now.

Warm this week. Makes me think of SPE.

Any recommendations for hotels to stay at? If I didn’t want to camp?

The FB page says this is the closest one, and very nice.

Xtreme is an awesome field. It has always been my favorite in the area, but I haven't been back there since 2014!

I wish I could make both days, but I might be there on Sunday only. I noticed that it says "Streetball style tournament on Sunday". What does that mean?

Also it will be my first time back in years. The last time I played was over 5 years ago.

Think like pickup games for basketball. 3v3 games. You might show up with a crew, but as the teams get divvied out, you are likely gonna have to shoot against each other. (That's gonna be my problem!)

[appleguy]

That might work out in my favor, since I doubt I'll be able to get any of my old crew back together.

Assuming they keep it similar to SPE of past. Sunday is a $1 entry, random draw team tournament. Could be 4v4 or 11v11, depending on how many entries. They have also traditionally limited the paint to 50rd, per person, per game. Extra points for "style". Winning team takes the $1 entry pot.

if you're not playing the tournament, play some open play again, just like Saturday.

Does the park have Co2?

Does the park have Co2?

99% sure they can still fil bulk Co2. If not, I've got some 12g you can use.

[appleguy]

I have some 12g that I'll be happy to donate to anyone in need too. Now that I got rid of the Phantom, I have no use for them.
I'll also have a 3.5oz tank that is currently full with me. You're welcome to borrow it for the day, or buy it, as I don't think I'll ever end up using it.

[ChoSanJuan]

Can't seem to get a definitive answer from the FB link and poster... Is this a pre-reg shindig or just come and do the thing at the door?
