Scenario Details:

Operation Snowshoe will be a day of training to test special op teams on how efficient and effective they communicate and maneuver.

If you are not part of team, you are more than welcome to come and you will be assigned to a team.

No teams over 10 players will be allowed.
If you have a team that is more than 10 players, you may split into teams equal to or smaller than 10 players.

Each individual will collect points during the training for certain activities. You will combine your personal points with your teammates for a total team point count. It will be up to you and your team as to how you will split the $100 award.

As you check into Operation Snowshoe at 9am you will receive a card that you will put in your right chest pocket. This card will act as one point.

Scenario: Each team will start at an opposite corner of the property. Once you hear the starting explosion you will have 3 hours to accumulate as many points as possible or when you hear the ending explosion.

How do you accumulate a point? When you shoot someone, the dead player must lay prone until someone comes and collects their point card(s) from their right chest pocket and put them into your right chest pocket. Once your point card(s) have been taken from you, walk back to your starting position with your gun over your head and reinsert yourself. You will have unlimited life counts for this training exercise.

As the training progresses you could receive 2,3,4,5 or more points per person that you kill since they may have already killed 3 people and collected their points. This point system will reward you in the proportion as to the level of player you take down.

At the end of the 3 hours each team will combine their points for a total. The team that has the most points will be rewarded with the $100.

Now I'm curious about the way this is setup, I may stop down to this op because the way it sounds like it will be run interests me. The concern I have is with cheating, as this seems to be putting more win/lose aspect to the game than usual. Just wondering if you guys are going to run anything more than usual as far as making sure hits are taken etc. Note I don't doubt it will work just curious what everyone's take is on making it have a "reward" to win.

Hmm. Looks interesting. Count me in.

Luke,

I know what you mean.

I'm wondering if it would be better just to have a $100 raffle at the end of the day instead.

Our goal is to try to get more serious & honest players.

If you are committing to attend this op - please send money via paypal: [e-mail]

ATTENTION:
Please check out the airsoft discussion link for a poll if we should use the $100 for a prize on which team has the most points OR have a random raffle at the end of the day for one person to receive $100.

Thank you for your cooperation.

CORRECTION UPDATE:

The $100 will be given to a single player in a raffle at the end of the day.

I'd like to toss in my registration for this op... I'll also possibly be bringing my friend joe (gabe might remember him - they wrestled at the pine farm). I'll check with trauby too, but i'm not sure ;p

[Dutch]

ATTENTION:

Depending on the amount of registrants - we may have to consider a reduction of the raffle prize less than $100.

[Talisman]

sounds good, ryan.

Joe cant come, Trauby said he could make it but we might be late... if work picks up for him we wont be able to leave till like 6:30 A.M, meaning we get down there at ~10:30ish.. Will update when I've got more info ;p

Also - do we know which property we're meeting/playing at? And if so could I get an address for mapquest?

[Dutch]

Address:

1440 Pine Grove Trl
Lowell, MI 49331-9341

Yahoo Maps work best for directions for this property.

Like Talisman has said, we might run late. I have a bad feeling work will be busy this week. Sorry buddy. On the other hand, I will make it to this op. Is there a deadline to pay the 15 bucks (like a day before the op or tommorow)?

[edit] Turns out I cannot make it. I am so sorry about this. I just got my birthday gift, a little shitzoo which is fitting his name quiet well. On top of me being litterally burried at work, I might even have to work a sunday, meaning no free time whatsoever. Yay!! [/edit]

[Dutch]

Looking forward to anybody that is planning on coming out tomorrow. Please let us know so we can plan lunch accordingly.
