For food we tend to do similar to Trbo323 one local guys brings food and everyone pitches in if they eat, with that said there is always other food as well. I will talk to our chef and he can work with your chef and Lt. head-shot and everyone else and make a meal plan if everyone wants, just let me know.

Correct I usually make a chili for camping since its easy to heat up and good after a long day. I can bring the pizza oven, though it will be tough to lay stuff out/stretch dough, etc. Might need to have some of the store bought pre-made crusts for ease of use. Or maybe make some calzones (easier to pull in and out). My buddy has one of the blackstone/flat tops which are great for making big breakfasts an whatnot, and I have a regular stove as well.

I tend to overplan/bring too much, so I kinda expect that we are going to have a feast every night!

jokers you said you are bringing a fire pit? Are you loading up your trailer with wood too? That is one expense that tends to add up, depending on how much you burn through. Will definitely help out with that so we can keep everyone toasty at night. I may end up bringing one too, I've got an old propane tank that I want to cut up and make into a fire pit.

At this time I know we are planning on having a dedicated kitchen tent with a grill, prep area, lights, powered cooler and water. Lt. headshot had talked about bring his "oni" pizza oven and there is normally a jet boil for that first morning cup of coffee.

Were you guys planning on camping with us?

If so, do you want in on our food plan? We are most likely going to have a dedicated chef this year. It's usually around $25 for the weekend. We don't have a menu yet but usually it's pretty good. Biscuits and gravy, BBQ chicken etc. Once we get a rough head count he can put together a menu and that will determine price

jokers had offered for us to camp with his crew, but that’s right next to your camp, so we’ll be there - not sure what his food arrangement is - potluck? Free-for-all? I’m vegetarian so I figured I’d bring some of my own grub and would add to the pile that way. Levirate and Dice2k will stay in my tent and aren’t vegetarians so I’ll ask what they want to do (they aren’t on here often)

I play conservatively. I shoot one case. a bag for Friday, a bag for Saturday, a bag for the final battle at the DMZ on Saturday, and the last for Sunday. But, I usually play with a phantom, and only have 200 rounds on me max.

[Trbo323]

My team has shot marbalizer every year except one where we tried the tourny grade (were not impressed, went back to marbs) can't say I've had a year that bad with dimpled paint. The closest we have come is one year I sized inserts on Friday when it was cold and then everyone just copied whatever size I was using and the rest of the weekend we were all breaking paint like crazy.

Yeah the idiot I am I never checked to see if the paint had expanded a little after it warmed up so we were all basically running insane underbores all weekend

Just wanted to ask if anyone played magfed at the event using roundball?

Not exactly magfed, but last year I ran my Qloader which can be just as picky about dimpled paint and it did really well on their "tournament" grade.

I played in Supergames 55 Oregon and it was awesome. Played on Blue Team and will probably play again on Blue.

Just wanted to ask if anyone played magfed at the event using roundball? I was putting Marbilizer in my Tipx because I don't feel like shooting FSRs at close range from the EMF. But I noticed the Tipx was shooting like crap and saw that the paint was dimpled. Has anyone had any issues with that paint for the event? Normally I would use Graffiti but that isn't an option.

Some general tips for supergame

Camping stuff

1) bring ear plugs, you may not need them but some years are louder than others. They have quiet hours but they are more of a suggestion. There's a party Friday night so people are coming back to their camp drunk

2) I like to throw a roll of toilet paper in my camping stuff. Yes they have port a potties but depending on the weather they may not be able to bring as many in. When that happens they have run out of TP before the truck can get back out there to replenish

3) ABOVE ground fire pits ONLY. camping is in a nut tree orchard so fires on the ground can damage the roots

4) if it's wet again, what we found last year is there's a feed store in town that can sell dry shavings. It was like 10 bucks for a fairly large bag, we spread out 2 or 3 around our 4 spot camp site and it did amazing. Really helped dry up the mud

5) it can, and often does get COLD at night. Bring cold weather stuff. I have purchased sweats and a sweatshirt in the vendor village in the past just to sleep in

Paintball related stuff

1) I like to bring 2 pairs of gloves. I can deal with damp Jersey and pants but gloves are the worst.

2) bring a few options. Long sleeves, short sleeves. Weather can change fast and the weather reports around here are not always accurate

3) a roll of disposable shop towels really helps clean goggles and gear through the weekend

4) I would recommend trail running shoes, or boots if you need ankle support for the field. Rubber sole is a good idea. Cleats will slip on logs and branches.

5) I always recommend having a way to bring some water out onto the field. It's 70 acres, quite a hike to get back to your camp spot

6) Try the night game! They use flood lights on the DMZ so it's more like a "twilight" game over night. If the weather is decent it's pretty fun. I don't go out in the woods where it's dark dark, not my flavor.

It can be quite humid there, especially when playing the night game. Take some type of goggle fan, and antifog....

[Trbo323]

hrm, i was thinking 2 cases actually, mainly cause i havent played in a few years and it might be fun to get a little heavy on the trigger.. and ill be experimenting with an izon sight i might be goofing off a bit with it trying to see if its pointed in the right direction

Yeah if you don't want to worry about being conservative, 2 cases

Lol! - The 5 times I went all I got was a case, and gave away anywhere from 250 to 500. That was playing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. No clear target = no reason to shoot. There was always other people spraying paint that I didn't need to....

Have fun gang! It was always an interesting environment to play in.....
