April BYOP is this Sunday, April 27th! This will be the beginning our new BYOP format. Let us explain the changes.
Why The Change?
We will be running larger, longer, multi-field objective based games. Simply put, our walk on days have become busy and there's not much of a differentiation between a regular day and BYOP. This new format is a different way to experience our fields. Think of it as something in between a scenario game and a normal walk on day, and you can still bring your own paint!
What Type Of Games Will You Be Running?
Multi-field objective based games. A few examples.
- Castle Vs Halo Village Pull Flag - You need to reach to the opposing teams base, grab the flag, and run it back.
- Halo Village & Sherwood Forest Push Flag - Grab the flag from the center of the field and bring it to the opposing teams starting point. Normally this is played on only one field. Adding Sherwood Forest makes it much more interesting to play.
- Cowboys Vs Indians
- A BYOP staple. Sherwood Forest and Western Town. One team defends the town. One team attacks. Keep the sheriffs alive or lose your respawn. Whoever has control at the end of the timeframe wins.
These are just a few examples. These games will have longer game times, different respawn (or no respawn) variations, and will all have at least one objective.
Will You Still Be Running Mounds Most Of The Day?
Yes this is the goal. The ref group that runs mounds will also cycle through some of our smaller fields like Urban, Western, etc.
How Many "Walk On" Groups Will be Running?
This will vary but the goal is at least two.
What If It's A Smaller Turn Out?
We will adapt the game style but we will still be running multi-field games.
Will I Be Able To Join The Larger Games At Any Point?
Some games yes. There will be a mechanism in place for this based on the game type and length.
Isn't This Basically The Format From The Fight Or Fright Big Game?
Yes but with more emphasis on objective based, multi-field games. Game times will also vary a bit more.
As always, if you have any questions, ask away!
