New Magfed Formats and Field

[Seajay]

Regardless of actual field cost and business practices... do you have a good sense of population in your area? People do travel but not a lot. The biggest Magfed locations I'm aware of are New York, Southern California, and North Carolina.

You would be competing with annual games that are relatively expensive for most players, meaning you are competing over their budget to get to the field.

If you have the land maybe start grass roots instead of a full on business investment, and grow with demand. Combining it with defense skill training would be helpful for getting your name out there.

But again being in Oregon you are competing over travel budgets... which the cost of traveling has doubled or tripled for some people (me) making it almost impossible to travel further distances for a paintball game.

Platoon Leader is the next big Magfed game this June in North Carolina. The last one was Bones and Ashes also in North Carolina, which had a very high turn-out, 1000 players?, so people are definitely into playing magfed.

So, small story of a field that I play at that probably operates somewhat like you imagine, maybe less premium:

The property is a small, formerly Russian/East German military base with a bunker, three barracks and a few more buildings.

They play bi-weekly with a mostly local crowd. They are open to anyone but don't have a public web presence (In fact the only thing I could find on their field before going the first time was a local newspaper article about noise complaints xD). It's somewhere between 24-30 people every outing, mostly bringing their own paint and paying 20€ for field and air.
The majority of players play magfed, but nobody minds speedball markers. Second time I went, I brought a pump though and had an amazing time.

They also have airsofters playing there, but I don't know how regularly, I assume it'd be every other week.
