: for a father and son to attend a 24 hr game within a 3 hr driving distance each shoot a case and a 1/2 of paint i estimate this is about a expense of 450.00 for the weekend
: (assuming camping)

Let's see, just for grins and giggles, let's say two hours driving time each way (240 miles) at 20 MPG, and that's 12 gallons at $1.50 per, so that's $18 for gas. Call it $20, just to round things off.

Three cases of paint at $80; that's $240, so now, we are up to $260. Add the entry fee, and that's another $100, and we're up to $360.

Hotel rooms and camping facilities vary in cost, but for the sake of argument, let's assume a hotel room at $50 a night for two nights, and now, we're up to $460. But wait, there's more! How about some food? Two dinners on two nights, at around $25 per pair, and we've cracked $500, and gotten to $510. And two breakfasts for two, at $15 each, is another $30. Damn, we're up to $540.

Have I forgotten anything? How about a pair of event T-shirts at $15 each. Now we're at $570, and racing for $600. And that other $30 will be eaten up by lunches, snacks, and miscellaneous other items.

: for the average family to spend this out of thier budget how often can this happen? -- i would be interested in comments on this so i can see real world answers--

And you are dead on!


: so when promotors are planning events this should factor in their minds on what they expect in attentance and when they plan events all near each other they should understand that the paintball dollars to be spent are a limited item

:
: lets comment on this -- its a way to communicate to the folks we give these dollars to so they understand that it is a limited resourse -- one they need to understand and protect if they want to maximise thier profits

: dave the coalition

Works for me!
