Top Gun like or what ?
One of the suggestions that the UXPL council has been discussing is the possibility of including a Top Gun competition at all UXPL events.

Perhaps even different versions of it.
Unlimited Paint Class
Hopper Class
Pump/Stock Class

With a winner take all format entry $25 or $50

I am wondering how the 801 members felt about including this in UXPL Events.

I would probably give it a shot. I would make a fool of myself but it would be fun.

Love top gun! Make it unlimited and open(so we can play these young whipper snappers who think they are all that)...anyone who has played top gun knows you only shoot 100 to 200 shots normally anywoo.

I think Top Gun events are a lot of fun. I think that there would be a really good turnout if it was a low entry with winner take all prize.

you know thinking about how they ran the mwxpl top gun, you might make it a double elimination instead of a single.

just a thought

20 or 25 dollars will cover your prizes. These guys that put on these events can't just crap out these prizes without being able to cover their costs.
like the mwxpl gave away a vf tactical cocker as the 1st place prize if memory serves me correctly.

The math is straight foward.

Small entry = Small prizes
Larger entry = Larger Prizes

For example if you have 20 people at $25/head thats $500 in Cash or purchase $500 in prizes.

Or $10/head x 20 people = $200 in cash or prizes...

Sometimes sponsors will support the prize pool in addition to what money the event produces itself. In general thats how it works.

Hope that helps 🙂
