2008 Update!
Dates have been picked for both GIANT GAMES in
2008. The main GIANT GAME XIV in June will be a one day event on
Saturday, June 7, 2008 and our fall GIANT GAME XV will be Saturday,
Sept. 20, 2008. So mark your calendars! Entries for each event will
be $50 and that includes C02 and HP Air.
Players caught
cheating
Anyone caught cheating will be kick out of the
game! No refund! No Prizes!
This includes:
1) Players
that jump back into the game without going all the way back to the
re-insertion area and being re-inserted by a REF.
2)
Players that are caught playing on with a hit and/or wiping off a
hit.
3)
Players shooting: full-auto, ramping, PSP mod, 3 rounds Bursts, Auto
Response and Turbo. The only paintball guns allowed to be used in
the GIANT GAME are true standard Semi-auto and Pump games. The
maximum rate of fire with a semi is 15bps.
These are just
some of the rule violations that can get players kick out. There are
many more. We will have REFEREES on both GIANT TEAMS dress as
players. This is no joke! We will not tolerate cheaters!
Air on the field
If all goes right we should have 4500spi on
the field at both re-insertion areas.
TEAMS
Team ID will be Red and Blue. We
assign players to teams at check in.
We keep squads together. Generals will receive team assignment by
coin flip on game day. Neither State is assign a team color to keep
teams fair.
PayPal
Players that Register on-line should print and
bring receipt for fastest check-in.
A HP Air tank is the fastest way to go!
HP air tanks are with out a doubt the
fastest way to go for getting refills. They have a gauge and can be
filled with out chilling down. HP tanks are better at stopping guns
from spiking, C02 tanks can spike the fps on a gun if out in the
sun. Because of this Splat Tag will be renting out 3000psi HP tanks
for $10. Plus we will be selling HP tanks at a discount on
game day.
Yes players can still use C02.
New PA system in parking/staging area.
To help keep thing organized we have bought a PA system and will be
running over 1000 feet of wire through the parking/staging area.
Video
Splat Tag will have a film crew
out on the course for the Giant Game videoing footage for a GGXII
video that will be posted on YouTube for players to download free.
Picture
Splat Tag will have a number of
photographers on the course to try and photograph some of the
action. Pictures will be posted shortly after the game.
Camping.
Players can camp at Splat Tag
the night before the game.
Splat Tag does not offer power, water or showers. *No camp firers
allowed.*

Update! Reinsertion time.
Once a players is eliminated they
must go straight to the reinsertion area or out to
the main staging area. To get back in the game a player must go to a
reinsertion area and be released by a referee. Reinsertions
will be every 15 minutes(1/4 hour on the clock). Players that go to the main staging or
reinsertion areas are considered eliminated until a referee
reinserts them from a reinsertion area.
Game will start with out you.
The game is scheduled to
start at 9am. The horn will sound no matter how many players are on
the field. It is up to each player to make sure they are on the
field and at the starting point to play. Players will only be
allowed back into the game every half hour on the the half hour.
Get Paint on the field
with out having to go back to the staging area.
Splat Tag will have paint and Air
on the field for players. Players can buy paint tickets (4 for $45)
and use them at the reinsertion areas. 1 tickets for each 500
paintballs, 4 tickets for a case. Players can pack lighter and stay in the game longer.
No money for paint on the field, just tickets.
Carpool!
Parking is limited so please
carpool! Cars can only
enter in the morning. Players getting dropped off can be dropped off
in the front and we will help find rides to the staging area.
Things to bring!
This is an
8 hour game. Players can take breaks
anytime for as long as they
like.
Some things that players
will need: water, your
own cups, paper towels, canopy for shade, chair, table, tools to
work on your equipment and food. Water and snacks will be for
sale so you may want to bring extra money for these items.
Please carpool, as
parking is limited. Splat
Tag will not have any tools or paper towels so remember to bring
your own.
Players using C02!
We are asking players with C02 tanks to
find out what their tanks weigh empty
and WRITE the empty weight on each C02 tank. This will help
speed up getting your tanks refilled!
Players should come with their paintball HP and
C02 bottles already filled.
The air-refill line is always
long in the morning at check-in. Each line can have 100 to 200+ players
waiting for fills. This can be up to a 30 minute wait or more.
Air refills are included in your entry fee, but coming with your first bottle
filled will save you a lot of time in line.

not have the tool or the parts you may need. Also, our staff must first take care
of starting and running each game.
Please check in first
and then set your stuff up.
C02 and HP Air
HP: Players can top off and refill at any
time. Players should come with
HP tanks already filled for the start of the game to avoid the long morning first fill line
and this will also help insure the game start on time!
Two
HP Filling lines:
#1 3000psi line is for HP 3000 to 5000
bottles that have less then 3000psi in them. All HP bottles must use
this line to get their bottles up to 3000psi.
#2
Over 3000psi line is for 4500 to 5000
bottles that already have at less 3000psi in them and need to be toped
up to the highest we can go. Max psi we depend on the volume of fills at
any given time. The over 3000psi line will be hooked up to a Bauer 15K
compressor with a 8 - 4500 bottles reserve bank to help keep the psi as
high as possible. This line can not be used by anyone with a 3000psi
bottle or by any with a 4500 to 5000 bottle that has under 3000psi
already in it.
C02: Players can refill at any time. C02
Tanks must be empty or very low
before we will refill them. Players should come with C02 tanks already filled for the start of the game to avoid the long morning first fill line
and this will also help insure the game start on time!
Player can use a back up
bottle on the field.
800 Players can make
for a great game. Have fun and play safe!!
