Man you guys are whinning way to much! First you want perfect grass so Allen is trying to find that for us. Then when he finds the places that will allow us to play on their land you complain about how far it is. I know its far either way you look at. However its Paintball and when i get on the feild the drive was all worth it and the time i have is a blast. Again i admitt it is far and i would love for it to be closer but "Its all good!". 😁

Not to bitch or anything but it seems like each tournament gets 20 minutes further north at this rate the last uxpl will be in Idaho. Like paul said we already have to wake up before 5 A.M. which isnt bad but still driving 2 hours is stupid if everyone has to drive those 2 hours, when it could be closer and only a few teams have to drive far, you might as well make it convineant for the majority.

i just read through the thread but i didnt see anywhere that it said that it was for sure at brigahm city.... ( i dont think anyway ) i didnt see allen say its going to be there or is it? Is it still between the two places or is it for sure at brigham? thanks

If you are driving to a tournament and you aren't having to drive a long ways then you aren't going to a tournament. Tournaments are ment to be a long drive thats why they only happen every month or so. If you guys get good grass you shouldn't complain one bit

If you are complaigning about waking up so early here is what you can do. Get a job working the graveyard shift. That way you won't have to wake up so so early (you'd already be awake. I think it's funny people are complaigning about the drive and this and that. Allen is the one putting on the event. He's based in Layton I believe so Davis would be closer and easier for him to set up. He is looking at these other locations so that we as teams have a nice venue to play at. Stop whining about location and having to wake up early let Allen decide where the event is going to be held, and get ready for a good tourney.

Enough Said

id drive anywhere as long as it had good grass, you guys shouldnt complain.

I was just asking if it could be closer. I never said I wanted the perfect grass. I just wanted to know if it was POSSIBLE to have it closer. Who knows maybe it would have happened I don't think it will, but at least I put my input into it.

We Just Got Through Driving 10 Hrs Round Trip To Go To A Tournament In Corona. We Drove 14 Hrs To Santa Clara. It Is A Blessing To Only Drive 1 To 2 Hrs For A Quality Tournament. If It Was Held In Idaho We Would Still Go.

Because That Is What We Do For Fun.

Get-r-done!

Ok, Obviously we will have to agree to disagree on this point. But look at it this way. What if the tourney was held in Provo, or someplace further south. Then we would get the northern teams complaining. Pauls complaint is legit. I dont want to get up that early. But I guess it is the cost of the game. UXPL has had some difficulty in securing places this year. That sucks. But it is a learning experience for Allen. He will have this ironed out by next season. And then, Maybe there will be the Brigham city open, and the Salt lake city open, and a Provo open. But either way. We all have a right to express what we are feeling on the subject.

I tend to side with Paul on this one. I dont want to get up that early. But if thats what it is going to take to get to the tourney. I guess I am setting my alarm a litte earlier. Maybe I should just rent an RV.
