Blessings from the day:
*Since the owner messed up our reservation, I thought it would be fair to ask for a discount. Instead of paying $15/ rental package I asked him for the discounted price of $12.50. It worked.
*Miraculously, the heavy rain stopped just as we got out of our cars and started up again 6 hours later when we returned to them.
*We were able to play games both in the wilderness area and on a speedball course.
*We didn't lose or damage any equipment.
*Not one of the 15 players were seriously injured after 6 hours of rough play!
Tips for Success:
*If you are carpooling to some where most people have never been before, be sure to wait for the rest of the caravan.
*Bring a ton of water and energy snacks, even if you think it's going to rain.
*Protective equipment I will bring next time: knee pads for crouching and gloves. For some reason, everyone gets hit in the hands A LOT!
*If you shoot and someone sees you, don't stay in that same position; MOVE!
*Have a plan and communicate with you team members throughout the mission.
*Hold your weapon at eye level in front of you, supporting the barrel with your other hand for better accuracy.
*If you're being fired upon, they may not know you are there and just trying to draw you out.
*Don't be afraid to keep shooting while you're being shot at.
*Good players are like raptors; there's always at least two of them.
*Don't let all the Sri Lankans play on the same team. They still whooped us when the teams were 4 against 9 and they had to stay in plain sight and we could hide in the bushes. Plus they had to protect "the President". If we hit their defenseless comrade just once, the game would have been over...it never happened.
But it was so fun though...
Sounds like a total blast!!! (So to speak :) Whities v. Terrorists...very creative!
