Show me: a map of the area around Kuitpo


all the way here ?

[Barnesy]

Hey hideous,
what was that link you put in your post?
just came up that the page couldn't be displayed.

[Deadeye]

doesn't look all that more remote than Murray Bridge or Strath going by the little map.

[JJJ]

wow Kuitpo sounds great, whose field is that Blacky?

From memory Kuitpo forest is not to far away from Adelaide.

[blacky]

Steve and Peter, its an awesome area and not really that far, similar to strath in distance from aldelaide made it from my house(northern burbs) in about an hour, its real close to the south boys mclaren vale is only about 20mins

[Studio 54]

For all the guys that stayed at Hahndorf for Round 1, Kuitpo is about 15 mins drive from there....just in a slightly different direction to Strath. Not far at all.

[Sonic]

Yup, staying there next time! (the beer, the beer....)

[bunkerboy]

"Kuitpo is about 15 mins drive from there"

Glad I'm not catching a lift with you Studio:p

And btw Blacky, are they turning the carpark into a field, or is it going to be held up over the two hills and across the creek from their speedball field? (and for the guys who've never been there, I'm serious).

[Frost]

should be interesting if i can manage to scrape up a spot with a team to play this torny ... never knew there was a field there ... and Hahndorf is definitely a good place to stay ... as someone said .... the beeeeer ! of course only after a good days of paintball :bigparty:

You can always join our team for this tourny Frost...."Team Refs".... :(

[blacky]

BB we will be using the southern carpark that looks over the speedball field, the safety areas next to the field will be used as a compund for all the players, its great cos the carpark area is approx 8mtrs higher than the playing field you can sit up there and look down on the game like a massive grandstand, trav should get some good camera angles for this one!

[JJJ]

sounds good

[Deadeye]

looking forward to it. Sad that the JJJ will be reffing:( its been a while since I got my last fix of mouse he he he

Is it on grass?

[Frost]

[JJJ]

[Deadeye]

tell me hows the renovations of the deadbox going:D

[CDG]

...after not playing for few months watching and not being able to participate would be absolute torture lol

... I know... :cry:

[bunkerboy]

Awesome spot then, and a great compound area too. They were in the process of plumbing the place for showers in the toilets when I was there last. Yes, you heard right South Ozzies, a paintball field with running water, and electricity:D

[Kristen]

Yup, staying there next time! (the beer, the beer....)

lol you know where ill be :bigparty:

[Barnesy]

Wouldn't drink that water, atleast not before the event if you want to play ;)
Can't wait to play, missed Rd 1 and won't be missing this Rd.
Pitty it's only a one day event, spend more time travelling there than playing :cry:

[blacky]

the area that will be used has just benn flatened out and sprinklers fitted grass will be sown shortly with the intention of hopefully having it ready for round 2, once again Steve and Pete much :respekt:

[Deadeye]

i just realised something, ill finally get to play you Blacky:D Only time ive ever played you was at round 2 last year and team wasn't having a good day. Round 2 :armed:

[blacky]

nah you forget the time I gogged you at spencers field last year, please lets not add another name to your list of sledgees! :rolleyes:

[Deadeye]

hmm i dont remember that, i know a welt guy got me, but then we switched it round an whooped you s.a boyz he he he

[bunkerboy]

Check out Mr Selective Memory.

[TRENT]

Only 1 day. What are you doing to us VIC teams, so far away for so little paintball..... :cry:

[JJJ]

Well it is an SA league Trent and SA Div 2 teams dont have the same $ resources as Div 1 teams.

[TRENT]

Hey Fallout are a Vic team Div 2. Maybe we could have 3 divisions div 1- 2day, div 2- 2day and open div- 1 day.

[Deadeye]

nah. Trent Sappa is for s.a teams its designed to be a low cost fun tourny series. If you want to play 2 dayers come play 2XS, and the qld tournies like the one at Strategic Spots.

agree, and damn you Knackers for my avatar!! :fu:

[Barnesy]

lol

J would you prefer the mouse with the swinging dildo than that one? :D

[JJJ]

thanks, I think......

[TRENT]

QLD tournies then become super-expensive. I would play some but i need a team who will go to QLD. :-(

[Deadeye]

will air be provided again??

[JJJ]

SAPPA bods have said so

[Deadeye]

very cool

[skip]

It all sounds good so far for this torney. Are you ready for your next mugging blacky :evil

[Deadeye]

he he he Blacky will be a marked man in more ways than one:evil

[skip]

He is about a 9/10 on the mugging scale. Is this feild up and running?

[blacky]

as I remember Skip I think you are now two doubles ahead of me, not fair really my team mates wont let me move too far forward any more :(
the field is up an running and currently has a speedball style field on it that will be moved for the tourney, safety areas need some extending but other than that its a done deal! :)

[skip]

thats because you get mugged. :rolleyes: will we be using the rps feild again cause it is awsome!

[I.R.Three]

I cant speak for for SAPPA but I think we may be using a different field this round?? Dont know if I am allowed to say which. Its awsome though. I have played on it before.

[Booney]

Where is Kuipto

[Studio 54]

Where is Kuipto
It's between a town called Meadows and Mount Compass. Really nice area.........gotta watch out for all the 'special' little pixies picking their 'special' mushrooms though. :eek:

[Chief Wiggum]

Near McLaren Vale. Hmmm wine :)

[Studio 54]

Near McLaren Vale. Hmmm wine :)
yes sage advice, everybody should drink BOTTLED wine every day - two glasses of red a day promotes good cardiovascular health............and keeps food on my table ;)

[I.R.Three]

Hey Roy boy.. You going to come down for this one?? Get a team together and come down and kick some butt. For old times sake..

[Barnesy]

Bris-vegas Cup Topgun Tourney

ENTRY Pro $80 Per Player Am/Novice $60 Per player

INTERSTATE PLAYERS ONLY $20

Are SAPPA gonna follow suit??? :respekt:

Damn these one day tourney's are expensive for us interstaters... :eek:

S'pose we should be paying more, as we take home all the trophies :whip:

:D

[Deadeye]

me likes that kind of thinking:D

[I.R.Three]

Wouldnt it cost a lot more to trave from Vic to Qld, then to S.A?? Like a 8 hour drive to like a 20 hour drive??

[Deadeye]

we fly to qld. Got some merrit to it though actually the reduced entrance, we do pay for accomadation, flights, or petrol it does add up, not too mention the snacks i buy on the way lol. On average a sappa 1 day tourny costs me like $500, a 2 day event is like $600-$700 approx. Im guessing for a s.a player its only paint, and entrance fee seeing you dont need to use accom most of the time. Im not having a dig at all I dont mid paying full fees, it helps run everything, but somethign worth looking at by the sapap committee maybe.

[Souse]

it probably would. I know travelling from sydny to adelaide last year was more expensive than travelling tobrissy

[blacky]

hopefully by the end of the year you vics should have your own series. so you can stay home and steal your own trophies! :angel:

[TRENT]

Nah we can still come over and have twice as many trophies.

[Hideous]

On average a sappa 1 day tourny costs me like $500, a 2 day event is like $600-$700 approx. Im .

that is cheap, its more like $750 -$900

[TRENT]

Yeah I know last sappa travel was about $60 Fuel, $200 Paint, $50-$100 accommadation, $100 Entry Fee plus all those little extras you forget about like food and having to loose a days work in travel. :-(

[Souse]

I thought sappa was meant to be cheaper to play. I spend less than that playing appl tourneys

[TRENT]

it is cheap when live in SA. :-(

[Orian]

Comming from NSW last round last year cost me around $400+ and i didn't even play so if i was to play add those costs could get quite expensive, i can see where deadeye is comming from.

[JJJ]

I thought sappa was meant to be cheaper to play. I spend less than that playing appl tourneys

Souse, and what APPL tournaments are they these days? Of course its easier for you to travel to Brisbane and cheaper, think before you post.

And what you all seem to forget (except Dead-Eye: cant believe I said that) is that the series is designed for SA players/teams not interstate teams and therefore is meant to be cheap for SA players.

Its great when interstate teams come down but thats not the focus of SAPPA, its not a national comp.

If the APPL is not running let the privateers run you a national comp and when they work out the costs you will be whinging about that when its passed onto you. Just liek there was a lot whinging about APPL costs.

[Neil]

Where/when are entry forms available for this well priced event? :respekt:
I believe 110 dollars for a SAPPA event is the cost isnt it? Not bad at all...
I want to enter a team into Rnd2...how can I get entry forms?
Cya, Neil :armed:

[Deadeye]

cheaper for your team Neil you all get senior citizens discounts.
Cant take credit for that, Trent told me to post it :rolleyes:

[TRENT]

I did NO such thing. :rolleyes:

[Deadeye]

at least i didn't post what you said about there wheelchairs and walking frames!:eek:

[TRENT]

I think you will soon be in a wheelchair after the shit u have been posting.

Anyway Neil it is only $350 per team. Im unsure about seniour discounts, its best to ask Blacky about that.

[Deadeye]

at least mine will be electric, you can use an old fashioned one for coming up with the ideas lol

[JJJ]

When did the price rise to $350? If two day comps are $500 (members) surely a 1 day comp is $250. Is there something official on this? :confused:

sorry but I wasnt having a dig at the price of sappa tourneys. :respekt: Ive never played one but I'm hoping that will change soon. What I was saying was that I couldnt believe it was costing the guys from VIC so much to play a 5 man event. Maybe I havent travelled enough lately!

I have nothing but the utmost respct for people like sappa and the apa in QLD because I knopw first hand how much time and cost goes into organisinga tourney.And I know as a player the costs of playing the tourney scene as my team has supported all appl tourneys and maybe only missed 2-3 touney since its inception in 1996.

so JJJ I hope this clears up what I had posted.

[Deadeye]

JJJ the last 1 day Sappa tourny to my recollection was $300 for unregistered team and $250 for registered ones I think so you would be right there. $500 for registered at a 2 day and $550 for an unregistered team.

[JJJ]

No worries Souse.
And that sounds right Dead_Eye but when your not closely involved anything can change so i thought the $350 that Trent posted might have been real.

[TRENT]

i was sure it was around that price for a 1 day. Must have been the $300. Yeah not knocking SAPPA or anything either just explaining how expensive it is to go for one day.

[schatts]

Talking about APPL has anyone heard anything about it ?

I think the price you were talking about Neil was the old sappa (pplsa) prices. $50 per person is not bad at all (less if more than 5 ppl) you get a good feed too - does that now include air fills or is that just included in the 2 day events ?

I know I used to argue for cheaper fees for interstate teams with the APPL when having to travel but that never happened either - atleast not to the teams I played for. In reality guys if it is costing you $700 to come and play what diff would a field fee of $50 make in the big picture.

Now that I too am in the position of having to travel, I think its a bonus cause you get a night off (can you tell I have kids?) - You can hit the pub and have a good time.
