UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 12th 2010

When: Friday, August 13th, Saturday, August 14th, & Sunday, August 15th

Where: Sharp Creek Campground, Manzanita Group Camping Site (Site #1)
   According to Google Maps, the AO is 104 miles from Gearbox Airsoft, an approximate 2 hour drive. We've been to the area and believe any “regular” car can make it to the camping area easily.  The site features well maintained dirt roads once you pull off of highway 260, all of the way until you stop at the paved parking area.

Price: $50.00 per player, 75 player limit (35 players on green team, 35 players on tan, 5 player/staff)

AGE Limit: This event will be 18 and over. We know we have many underage players that would like to attend, but unfortunately this is out of our hands for the time being. Hopefully we can accommodate you guys in the near future at other events.

FPS Limits: 375fps w/ .25g for Full/Semi Auto, 525fps w/ .25g for Bolt Action/Single Shot Models
    UPDATED NOTE: Apparently, there has been a bit of a misunderstanding of what types of weapons fall into the "Bolt Action/Single Shot Model" category listed above, so I'll do my best to provide some examples. A weapon allowed to shoot at 525fps w/ a .25g BB  MUST only be able to shoot one shot per cycle before having to reset the action, as in a bolt action sniper rifle, or a single shot pump-action style shotgun. Semi Automatic is not in this category, regardless of modifications made to the weapon. A Tokyo Marui PSG-1, A Classic Army or other SR-25, a DMR, or an M14 is still an AEG and semi automatic, falling under the 375fps w/.25g rules, not the higher fps. Marksman/Sniper Rifles will be limited to 1 per squad, as they will be of limited use due to the terrain of the field. Contact Ron if you have further questions regarding fps limits. Sorry if this caused any confusion.

Uniform Requirements: Any variation of  green uniform vs. Any variation of Tan uniform (NOTE: For this event, Multicam will be considered part of the Green Team, ACU/UCP will be considered part of the Tan Team.) This has been changed from the original statement, due to player/staff comments and based on the actual field terrain. Please make note of the changes and plan accordingly.

35 Players Per Team (3 Squads of 10 Players, 3 player/advisors, 2 additional people to be used as their team sees fit. Either add them to a squad for additional support, create a command element, or as a recon/sniper team)

NOTE: Uniform requirements refers to the color of the clothing only, and does not reflect the color of gear worn with the uniform. Headgear (ball caps, helmets, boonies, etc.) must match the uniform color, not the gear color.

EXAMPLE: If you're on the green team, wearing woodland BDUs, your cover/hat/helmet must also be green. Want to wear coyote tan gear with it? You're still on the green team. Call or email Gearbox Airsoft if you have any questions regarding uniforms.

Included in the price of admission:
Friday Night Raffle Prizes to Early Registrants (Available to people that arrive and set up between 2pm - 7pm)
Saturday Morning Breakfast Before Deployment
One Full Day of Intense Airsoft Action (Featuring multiple scenarios that can alter events and cause repercussions throughout the day. Plan on being in the field no less than 8 hours at a time, so plan accordingly. Also, please remember to pack your own lunch to eat during the day, as the staff will not be providing lunch on the field.)
Saturday Night Dinner (Burgers, hot dogs, and potatoes will be served. People with allergies, special needs, etc. will need to be email Ron for additional details.)
Saturday Night Game (If enough interest from players)
Access to Medium GP Tent in the Campground for fun and revelry after the day of events
Sunday Morning Breakfast Before Deployment
Sunday Morning Scenarios that run until the afternoon
Sunday End-Of-Event Raffle
Possibly a couple of other small surprises!

What I meant was is it only a specific uniform for each side like WOODLAND vs 3 COLOR DESERT, or something.

I believe you need to go to Gearbox in Tempe to sign up and pay.  I am stoked about this event!  I am part of Shadow's team that made an earlier RSVP.  We are trying to get a good number of guys from our group to come.

Google Sharp Creek, Payson, Arizona and it should come up.
Its approx 22 miles east of Payson from what I can tell.
