Just a heads up. We only have a relatively few spots left for tomorrow (Saturday June 7) and even less for Sunday June 8 in the regular open game. The pump Game on Sunday should be fine as I don't think we will get 60 pump players out on Sunday (although it would be really cool to see).

As always, anyone wanting to make sure they don't get turned away can always get a $10 deposit in to us to reserve a spot and get the $5 discount. This $10 deposit also applies to refs that are wanting to play on their days off. I almost had to turn some refs away last Sunday that hadn't reserved.

For those of you coming up tomorrow, I'll see you there. I won't be making this Pump Day as I'm heading to Vegas for a few days on Sunday. Hope everyone has a good time. Sounds like it's going to be a stellar turnout (everyone probably heard I wasn't going to be there so their chances of not getting shot increased immensely tongue.gif)

Vegas!!! over pump day!! wow here is a man who has is priorities set. So if we notice a sign at the gate saying repossessed we will know that you lost everything on either gabbling, drinking, or hookers. Have a good time in Vegas Reiner, this pump day might not be as exciting without you, but hopefully we get a lot of people.

We had 58 pump players today by my count. So very very close.

thats awesome! one of these days i'll start reserving my spot and saving some money since most of the time i know a week in advance if i'll be coming out tongue.gif
are the available #'s of players just dictated by insurance coverage or something?

The numbers are based upon a complex mathematical formula involving the precise position of the stars in our galaxy and the number of lice in Wally's hair at midnight on the given day in question.

But actually it's just based on some simple factors like:

1) The number of sets of rental gear.
2) The number of private groups booked for a particular day
and
3) The fact that more than 60 people on any one of our fields at one time is too hairy to play and too difficult to ref.

So depending on the circumstances, it's very possible to sell out even if people have all their own gear since we are limited to the number of people we can have on any field at any given time. The bottom line is that it's always good to call ahead and let them know you're coming on a particular day. They can tell you then if a deposit will be necessary, or if they're already sold out. Which can potentially save you a wasted trip if you hadn't already called a paid a deposit.
