OP: SOLOMONS PASS Questions

[Doc]

Any word on weather conditions during the OP?

Are you serious, its 15 days until the OP

Weather forecasts arn't considered accurate until about 5 - 7 days out.

For very accurate forecast - about 3 days out

Hi 54°F
Lo 41°F

Precip (in)
0.33in.
So cloudy and rain.

Funderful...I'm guessing that a little rain isn't going to hurt an AEG too bad?

If we stopped playing every time the sky opened up and poured piss all over us, drenching us to the bones, we would never get a chance to hear shots fired in anger.

No, its not going to hurt your rifle to have a couple rain drops fall on it.

[ZEUS]

There is no forcast at this time. The "Monthly" forecast state averages only.

and besides, I will make sure it's partly cloudy with a high of 62, and no rain. (I have connections)

[Doc]

Sure Zeus,
I can't tell you the number of times I've had to mop the floor becasue I left a window open when the weather man said partly cloudly and a high of 62 F (17 C for the nerds amoung us).

Hey if you have connections, I request 58 F or 15 C instead - makes the bb's sting more

[DredPyrit]

I've searched all the Solomon's Pass threads looking for something and I can't find it. Maybe I overlooked it. Either way... here goes...

Zeus or Dantes - Could one of you please let us know the official plan for handling registration and chronoing? I've read a couple of speculative answers, but I would like to hear it from you officially. Are there going to be multiple chronoing/registration stations? What time does registration start? Just try to fill us in as best you can.

Thanks!

[ZEUS]

Registration will begin on Friday afternoon, and then begin again Sat am around 7-8.

There will be 3 chrono stations. and your guns will be tagged. 6 guys will be manning the stations, and 2 will be working registration.

Previously we were told that gates would open at 5pm on Friday. Is this still the case? We're leaving Kennewick, WA at around noon. If we get there early we'd love to get camp set up before dark and pre-register so we avoid the Saturday morning crowds.

[Matt]

I will be there at the field at noon on Friday, you guys can show up earlier if you wish. Gates are basically open all day, we'll post a revised schedule with actual reg times and gate time ASAP. Sorry for the confusion.

[Matt]

Here's the full schedule for the game, to clear everything up (camping friday is optional, show up Saturday morning if you want):

Friday, March 9
------------------
NOON -- Gates open for campers
NOON - 5:00pm -- Early Register/Chrono (by group, see game admin)
5:00pm - 7:00pm -- FREE BBQ
7:00pm - 9:00pm -- Register Early (no chrono, too dark)
9:00pm - 11:00 -- OPTIONAL Night Game at the village

Saturday, March 10

8:00am - 10:00am -- Registration/Chrono
10:30am -- Taliban Game Brief
11:00am -- ISAF Brief / Taliban Forces take the field
11:30am -- GAME ON!
5:30pm -- Game End / Raffle / Debrief

[msawiel]

Will there be camping possibly Saturday night for those who would rather travel Sunday morning?

[Matt]

Yes, travellers are welcome to camp Saturday night if need be.

[Hodness]

i have a question since this is my first AP event

will woodland digital camo count for the terrorists??

[Variable]

No. Digital woodland would be marpat, which would be ISAF.

[Hodness]

damn

good thing i asked
