Black Thorn Down Oct 15-16

I'm already planning on it. By the way, welcome to the boards. The economy certainly sucks right now but housing can only stay down so long. I'd be interested in talking with ya after this event about how you went about putting it together. The largest game I've planned only had about 60 attendees and I handled what few costs there were myself. I'd like next years Op to be larger.

BTA has pulled larger numbers before, especially at Camp Williams. Were hoping to fine tune the organizing part. I'll be sure to let you know what we have learned from this event. Hopefully with more experience in sponsorship we'll be able to get more for the attendees.

We'll be talking.

I apologize for my post, I didn't mean any offense by it.

Me and Holmi-G just ordered Are tickets. So Excited, the guy at weapon blender told us there would be around 500 People there. He expected much more then that. No way am I missing this. whats awesome is that is my birthday weekend. Ahhh

No one said that it was.

You do realize that the minimum age is 18, right? Read both the ticket description at weaponblender.com and the rules for Camp Williams and BTA.

Camp Williams requires an age limit of 18 or older. Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult player. If Weaponblender allowed anyone under 18 to purchase a ticket without an adult, they have made a mistake. Please contact Weaponblender to resolve this.

for any who are planning on going, i've been informed that it was not burned up by last night's fire. so game on!

Thank you Bishop...

It's true, BTA has been notified by our contact at Camp Williams that the the FOB&MAC MOUT site has not burned and Op: BTD is still on schedule.

Im going to this. I hope its a blast!!! It should be fun haha!

Probably a good idea to see the age requirement...

does this adult have to be related or do they just want somebody else watching the minors?

Related or not, just willing to take responsibility. The accompanying (participating) adult will be responsible for the minor(s) he/she attends with. Minors must still have a parent or legal guardian sign their waiver as well.

can we get this waiver ahead of time? i know a few minors who want to go but their parents won't want to go that far.

The BTA waiver is printable from our web site on the WAIVER/RULES page. We will try to get the Camp Williams waiver, to put it up on our web site too.

do they have them printed at weapon blender? wouldn't be a bad i dea to have a stack ready. some parents don't feel like driving that far to sign a paper.

hey let us know when you get that. we'll also need it for october 8/9 since nuac is planning on coming down and we have some underage members.

Yeah I know about the age limit thing. Im covered, See everyone hopefully there if your coming.

1-Age Requirements have been altered slightly.

Everyone under 16 must be accompanied by a participating parent or guardian (18 or over) both with signed waivers.

If you are playing with a participating guardian who is 18 or over, and you are under 16 you must still have your waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Waivers can be found on the WAIVER/RULES page of the BTA web site.


2-Bio BB requirements. There will only be “game-play” at the MAC/MOUT, so Bio BBs will not be required.

Biodegradable BBs only at the FOB! Check the BTA “game” description if the AO (Area Of Operation) is at the FOB, be prepared and have biodegradable BB’s.
Biodegradable BBs are not required at the MAC/MOUT.


3-Weaponblender ticket purchases.

When purchasing a ticket from Weaponblender in-store or online make sure you give the following information…

REAL FULL NAME / AGE / E-MAIL / PHONE NUMBER / WHAT TEAM YOU WISH TO BUY A TICKET FOR

Ticket customers under 16, indicate ‘who their guardian is’.
Ticket customers who are guardians, Indicate ‘who they are the guardian of’


4-Somali Militia requirements. Shemaghs.

SOMALIA MILITIA = Creative “costumes” that must include a shemagh, any color is acceptable but white pattern ones are preferred to segregate yourself from the tactical colors. (any camo except; ACUPAT, Tri-color or “Chocolate Chip” Desert, and Desert or Woodland MARPAT)

so what about the camp williams rules? do they still require their own waiver? and can 16 yo players get on without a parent, prvoided that the waiver is signed?

The Camp Williams rules have been changed. If they still require a waiver it'll be available on the BTA web site before the event (You don't need a waiver to purchase tickets, you'll need it to check-in at the event.). 16 an 17 year old players no longer need a guardian, just a parents signature on their wiaver.
