OK so i know I'm posting this even before the event happened, but I had to cancel the trip and i thought I would tell all of you why. If you think I was wrong or if I did something wrong please tell me I would like any and all feed back.

I walk into CQT in macomb during my lunch hour. I ask for Al (When I went in there before Al introduced himself to me as the owner. That way you guys know I am talking about in the rest of this post.) Al came out and I asked him if it would be alright to host a game at his field for me and some friends. You guys all know I don't play that much at my own fields, even if I wanted to its so busy that people are always asking me for some kind of help that i would never be able to play and have fun so I just don't. Al stated that this would be fine and just to let him know a date in which I wanted to hold this outing. Then I left to go back to work.
After this I posted up if anyone would like to go to this and all the terms of the game on MIA.
The terms:
When the game would be, the cost of the game, the age limit, and our colors we would be using.

I call up CQT and ask for Al once again because I have been dealing with him so I figured I would still deal with Al on the subject of this game. Al answers and I proceed to tell him that I have the necessary 20 people to play at their field and the 20 twenty dollars for the field time (3hrs). I know the post said 25 but the extra 5 was going toward if we had drop outs that didn't show because Al said we needed 400.00 to play, and pizza and soda after the game. Al proceeded to tell me that it was a good idea (mine) to bring the money down today because we wanted to change the day to Sunday and the time to 10:00am and they are usually not open that early and he would feel better about having some kind of assurance that we would be there. I understood that. I even asked if we should make it later when they were open, he said no we were thinking of opening earlier anyways and that it was cool.

I walk into CQT gentleman behind counter asked if they can help me i once again ask for Al, he said he'll let Al know I was here. I turn around and start looking at their wears RS and airsoft. After a short wait a small grey haired man (not Al) walks out of the back room right up to me and asked "Why are you doing this." I was a little stunned and replied "what are you talking about?" he then said "you don't understand? you have your own field why would you come here?" I then stated what I posted here. That My friends and I would like to play and I was leaving a deposit and that I talked to Al. This new fellow said "Then let your friends come on open play, and what was the point of coming here." Nice Whats the point of coming here. I then said to him "If you don't want my money fine no problem." and I walked out. This whole time Al (the owner) the guy I was dealing with never came out. So as I was driving I decided to call Al, maybe there was a misunderstanding maybe this little man woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Once again I asked for Al and after a short wait someone else answered the phone (my guess it was the angry little man) and told me he was unavailable. I said thank you and hung up.
After all of this I would have to ask myself and all you why would I ever want to play there.
20 dollars for 3 hrs
people who don't know anything about airsoft.
people who are not friendly
under built field (3 shipping containers and 10-15 doors propped up.)
After this I will never go there for airsoft or real steel shooting. I would rather spend the extra time and go to peters or double action.
Thanks for reading this and all comments are appreciated
