Wellington Easter Tournament April 7/8 2007

[ANTSMAN68]

Wellington Easter Tournament April 7/8 2007.

Format is 5 players.

Same venue as last year, Grenada Soccer field.

Entry $500 per Team, cut off for entry payment is 24 March.

Field paint only.

Air supplied.

Marquis will be available for staging.

Cups for 1st 2nd and 3rd in two divisions.

After the success of Easter this year, we will be organizing this event again, but with the change to 5 players. This change seemed to be well received post BBT, and I think will assist in enabling more teams to play and especially more new blood into the sport, through significantly reduced paint usage, as well as being easier to find 5 able bodied players.
The field used will be netted on 3 sides with the open end facing the scrub/bush, which will mean near total containment of the paint. There will be no users clean up this time as I am currently negotiating for one of the teams to clean the field after.

Am looking into sourcing a security guard to watch the venue Fri/ Sat night, but if there are some players or a team that wish to stay at the venue, we will be able to supply a large tent and cash(beer) for the stress.

We are endeavoring to have a Referee crew of 7 and 1 Head Referee. Interest or questions from people wishing to Referee can be emailed to me at the address below. The other significant change to this year¡¦s event will be that the Referees will be paid for the two days, as well as a travel and accommodation subsidy. This I believe offers incentive to give up your weekend and reff so players can play as well some sort of remuneration for the stressful job that it is.

Please contact me for more info about reffing, and Head Reff position.

More details will be posted as soon as things are finalized.

If your team wishes to find out any info not mentioned here, call me or email me.

Please post if your team will be coming.

Cheers
Ants

in order to collect as much of the funds from Teams prior to the actual event,so i can start paying for stuff,and to lessen the cash flow probs on the weekend of the event, pricing for paint and entry made in advance will be cheaper, as follows.

Team Entry paid on or before Fri 23 Feb(6 wks from event)
$500

Team Entry paid on or before Fri 06 April(day before event)
$600

Team Entry paid on the weekend of the event
$700

FPO Paint per 10 case lot paid on or before Fri 23 Feb.
$850

FPO Paint per 10 case lot paid on or before Fri 06 April.
$950

FPO Paint per 10 case lot paid on the weekend of the event.
$1050

The FIELD paint will most likely be Elixir/Toxic/Killabees.
Since the format and field are 5 player, i cant see paint usage for most teams exceeding what was shot at BBT, which from the people i have talked to was around 12 cases per team.

Payment bank details will be emailed to CAPTAINS when they email me so i know their addresses, also Team registration forms will be emailed.

This years Easter event is limited to the first 15 teams paid up, so far 14 have posted interest. Please pay as soon as possibly to avoid missing out. Last year was an awesome weekend and with the way the weather has been lately it looks like we may have a late summer, so fingers crossed this Easter will be good weather too.

cheers
