14 Days to go...

Two weeks left till the PSP 2008 Chicago Open held at BRAC in Bolingbrook, IL. As of right now registration is winding down and teams are trying to pay entry fees to play traditionally the second largest PSP tournament of the year. The layout has been out a good week and it probably one of the most interesting layouts yet.

I've reffed this layout but don't know it well enough yet. Supposedly, there are plenty of blind shots on the field, which means I'll have to be extra alert. Another good look at it and I'll be set.

Also the PSP is making strives to push them into the forefront of tournament paintball. At this event the league is once again having the NXL All-Star which features the top pro players competing together and is otherwise treated like one big joke by the players. Another new feature promoted by the league for this event is the addition of Premium Box Seating. For $195 you can sit in a special "area" 10 feet off the ground next to the scoreboard on the player's side of the field. You also get two T-shirts, VIP parking, free WiFi and complimentary beverages from the PSP hookers, I mean, um, Girls. The APPA is also trying to jump in on offering more and better to services to the players with allowing players to check in their bags for the low fee of $10 a day. This is America people, there's money to made and the more you get the better you are!

The weather right now in that area is still looking iffy with highs in the mid-80's with chances of rain between 20% and 40% but things have been known to change. I probably need to start going over the rules again so they'll be fresh in my head for the tournament. Still looking forward to the event and seeing everyone there, just 14 more days...
