Open field day...
In the interest of bringing new players to the game, what if we had an open day sometime this summer.  By open field I mean an advertised event meant to bring people to the field to learn about and even play paintball.  It could be a sponsered or "free" thing or just have a discounted fee.  I think a lot of people don't try paintball because they don't know enough about it.  Well...Lets educate them.  This would also be a great chance to test out the possible use of the towers as spectator observation areas.  Of course, a lot of this depends on how Norm does with the town.

Re: Open field day...
You couldnt put people in the towers too much of a risk. enless they have masks and all that jive. But with proper advertising a event liek this is very possible. hell i did one for my team field and we had a turn out of over 150 people come threw out the day. and i only advertised for about 4 weeks. so i know its possible. if this is going ot be planned ill help out with it.
Play it hard!!! Play it fast!! Play it smart!!

Re: Open field day...

Good idea.  Have noobs test fire markers, have demonstrations of real games, field tour, do a noob 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 paired with unarmed paintball veteran escorts/guides/coaches, demo of semi-pro vs. semi pro game, demo low budget gear, hi-end gear and just show all the fun people can have young and old.

Hell, I'm still a noob.  But I now know you all aren't a bunch of militia psychos.  The game is fun.  I didn't know how fun til I did it, especially at Field 51.

All right, we'll come up with a day this summer to make this happen.

I like the ideas I'm hearing here, Thanks guys!

Re: Open field day...
Along with people firing markers, we could have a couple of people disasembling various markers, and explain how they work (Tippmanns, Spyders, and other lower end guns). And there could be paintball videos playing at certain times, both speedball and woods/scenario. What would be very good is if we got a place that has different types of markers to come and display and have people try them out, some place like the Army Barracks, or KTP.
