Planning for Supergame 47

It seems that the planning for Supergame 47 is underway and some of the players from Kelowna will also be going. Three of us went last year and here is some advice:

• Purchase a 3 day pass and join the RED team.
• Make a list of all the gear you will need and make sure you pack it. You don't want to get there and then realize you forgot your air tank.
• Purchase two or three cases of field or premium paint. Last year both were a similar grade, but the tournament paint is too brittle to shoot through the brush/bush.
• Carpool. It is a 9.5 to 10 hour drive so leave early Friday morning (7:00am) and that will give you enough time to get there, check in at the hotel, register at the event, eat supper, and play the night game. 3-4 people per vehicle will make the drive down a lot easier.
• Split a hotel room or camp on site to save some $$$. See if the hotel has a continental breakfast as that will save you more $$$. There is food available at the event for lunch and nice local restaurants nearby for supper. There is lots of camping on site as the field is located on an apple orchard (nice shade).
• If staying at a hotel, stay in the town of Woodburn or Wilsonville. Both towns are about 10 minutes from the field.
• If you are old enough, bring some beer to drink while playing the night game. After a long day of driving, it is worth it. There is a liquor store in Wilsonville.
• Bring some anti-fog spray as the night game has high humidity. The day games are fine.
• Bring a hydration back pack as it is very warm during the day and fill it with ice in the morning (if you are staying at a hotel).
• The drive home is quite tiring after playing three days of paintball so make sure there is a passenger awake to keep the driver awake.
• HAVE FUN!

Planning for the 2014 Season is in progress.

Planning for the 2014 Season is in progress so let me know the events and dates as the events pop up. We were pretty organized last year, hopefully 2014 will be just as good, if not better!

Rocking the Jerseys.... Oddball Style

Jerseys are in and look great. Thanks to Kamloops Paintball Games, KMS Tools, and Ntensity Customs.

 

 

If you didn't get yours at the field, you can pick it up at my house.

Jersey Designs

So here is how they will look:

Price is as follows:

• $70 each (as pictured).
• $7 additional if we want our names printed on the collars 
• $7 additional if we want print on the mesh (I was thinking blue polka dots to make it "odd")

I have everyone's deposits, sponsor contributions, and additional money from Kevin S. and Wade F. from hosting Miami Vice (Kevin and Wade have both paid for their jerseys in full -$320 from them alone, thanks!). That means $1000 total has been collected.

Even if we did printed mesh and collars, the total with tax/shipping would be $55-$60 per person for a totally custom jersey. My vote is for random blue polka dots on the mesh (oddballs, get it?) and skip the names on the collars.

Miami Vice was a Success

Miami Vice was definitely not a regular scenario Sunday. More Hawaiian shirts at KPG than you would see in Hawaii, sleazy moustaches, nerf swords, and "gold chains" were in abundance. I think there were approximately 70 players which was good as we were expecting 60-80.

We played a variation of CTF with contraband bags, a hostage game with bases to defend and hostages to rescue with a covert squad, a collect the evidence game with props on the field (only 3 of 5 were found) and cards in headbands for lives/evidence, a traitor game where a young player took out 6-8 of his teammates (he was suppose to go after the leader) before he got taken out, and of course "mayhem" where you could shoot an opponent or barrel tag a teammate to take their raffle ticket(s) that they were carrying (everyone went out with one card, some came back with 10!).

There were some minor glitches which had to be expected for a series of games never played before. However, from player's feedback: everyone was happy with the variation of games, quality of play, sportsmanship, and all around good times.

Thanks to all the sponsors who donated goods to the raffle: Kamloops Paintball Games, KMS Tools, Gary's Deli, Taboo Cycles, Spitfire Grill, The Pig Rig, BuyPbl, and Monster Garage.

Thanks also to all the regular players, the "out of towners", renters, Fighting Hobos, and to all the Oddballs who played with great honour and sportsmanship to make the event a big success. Way to represent everyone!

Now, who is going to plan "Vice 2" for next year?
