Ok, so I was looking through the Splatbro's event calendar, marking down the stuff I want to "attempt" to attend. The thing is I did not see a Pre- reg deadline date on any of the "Classics" events. After looking here I found it for LOTF, but still nothing for the rest. Are the dates usually posted after the preceeding event, or am I just dumb not being able to find them? A little help here please..... Thanks!

They are usually the Sunday before the game with the exception being the Big Weekend Long Events.
Hope that helps.....

Ok. It did seem kind of that way. Was hoping to get exact dates, but that's something to go on at least.
Thanks!

Forgive me where I am posting this, there isnt many options on the forum it seems. Question for the powers that be, I have emailed Don Hager about the July game. Is there any other information about the game? Are the team discounts applied for the multiple paint purchase only or what? My team is looking to attend our first Splat Brothers game and would like as much information as possible. We will be traveling from the Philly/New York area, so any good hotels would be a plus also. Thank you! Josh Foote Delta Paintball Team www.deltapaintball.com

Hello Josh
I'm Mike "Chowda" Lowder, captain of Assault & Battery, the Splatbrothers Home team. Let me see if I can help you out.
First let me start by saying having Delta down at the park will be great. Great group you have there and I have no doubt you will enjoy the park.
Now the 8 hour classics are a great short format game. If you prereg, as a team or individuals, the cost is only $15. Air (4500 and 3000) is self fill as Splatbrothers has 2 on site compressors and is included in the price making this one of paintballs best low dough shows! The paint discount works out to be $10 off per case if you preorder 10 or more cases but this has to be all on the same invoice. Pre Reg is shut off the Sunday before the game.
There are usually many prizes and raffles and each "general" will give out 4 or 5 different awards.
There are many hotels in the area as the Park is only about 13 miles from the local army base. The host hotel is: Comfort Inn® 5380 Oaklawn Blvd. Prince George, VA, 23875 Phone: (804) 452-0022 Fax: (804) 458-2012
Comfort Inn is the host hotel for ALL of the SplatBrothers® events and is offering discounted pricing for SplatBrothers® players.
The hotel is only 12 miles from the park, situated in the center of the shopping center of Colonial Heights, and only 23 miles from the Richmond International Airport.
When making reservations, please remember to mention SplatBrothers® PaintBall Park to receive the event discount pricing.
I hope that helps you out. If you need any suggestions some of the teams from your area that have played at Splatbrothers in the past few months include The 13th Legionaires and our good friends from TSSOC come down and play the park a few times a year. I'm sure they could give you some great insight on the ins and outs of getting down here.
That's all I have for you. Of course, Don Hager or the Park Staff could give you more help (and better service) than I ever could but if there is anything else I can do, feel free to hit me with a PM or post. Looking forward to seeing Delta on the field.

chowda, thank you for the information!
We have been looking to come down to SplatBrothers for a while now. I am hopping to have 15-20 delta guys out for the event.
Another question, the game was originally the same weekend at IoN, now it is the following weekend, is this date correct?
Thanks again!

We have no doubt that Delta will enjoy themselves here in Virginia and we hope its the first of many games you guys enjoy here.
Yes it is the weekend following IoN. Saturday July 25th. That was a small glitch that was rectified. Sorry about that.
Both Ronn Stern & Don Hager (THE Splatbrothers) are going to at IoN directing the campers at the now famous Ronn Stern Paintball Camps.
Assault & Battery members Ritchie "Sickboy" Williamson and the infamous Trapper Davis will also be in attendance there so be sure to stop by (if your team is attending) and say hello.

The majority of the team doesn't do Skirmish games after IoN 2007. (Lets leave it there, so no 2 year drama from the game comes up again). However we will be there as the Smart Parts Techs for the weekend.
If I can get away from the tech table, I'll be sure to stop by and introduce myself.

It's great that you guys would give up your time to do tech work.
Another reason for the great reputation of the Delta Crew.
