So many fields and producers are getting onto the Scenerio Game Business that there will be SEVERAL GAMES within 500 miles of a given player on a given weekend.

My area is an prime example. St. Louis Missouri

Two Years ago there were 5 Games within a 3 Hour Drive plus Oklahoma D Day.

Last year there were 21 Games within a 3 Hour Drive plus Oklahoma D Day.

Next year I know of two fields that are starting or adding several additional scenerio games to their calendar.

MORE than I could afford to go to. I HAD to pick and choose which games I went too..


I went to EVERY BYOPaint game and made sure the competing field knew why I didn't go to their Field Paint Only games.

I went to EVERY GAME that had a NIGHT Game.

I went to EVERY GAME that started before NOON on Saturday and lasted LATE on Sunday...

Then travel expense and field fees came into factor.

Want to bet the $80 field fees and $80 a case field paint games are numbered?

So many OTHER factors come into play in determining scheduling dates, that considering or researching what some other field may or may not be planning on their calendar is largely irrelavent.

Those that are whining at a 500 mile limit are likely players and teams that have commercial interests tied to sponsors, vendors, fields, etc. than just some hard core players willing and able to travel to any game they want...
