HOW?!  This is the fun part...

UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS: NO ACUs or ABUs allowed!  This includes hats, vests and all tactical gear!  ONLY
CONTROLLERS ARE PERMITTED TO WEAR ACUs.  If you're seen in it, you'll either be sent home to change or play in
your undies...your choice (we aren't responsible for ridicule as a result of the latter)!  See the SitRep below
for further uniform "requests."

FPS LIMITS: 400fps w/.25bbs!  AEGs and GBBs and NBBs and any other BB-firing gun is welcome so long as it meets
the FPS limitation of 400fps w/.25bbs.  NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!  And no, not even for sniper rifles...thems
the breaks kiddies!

NO SYSTEMA PTWs: Every event we throw, we get bombarded with controversial emails about individuals swapping out
PTW cylinders in the field to break FPS rules.  When holding public events, you cannot guarantee the type of
individuals who will show up, but you can guarantee a certain level of safety.  And that is all we're trying to
do.  While we do understand that there are outstanding members of the community who own these, there are also
those who aren't so "outstanding" and it is because of those individuals that we have decided that it is easiest
and in everyone's best interest to "just say no." NAM philosophy is, if you can fork over near $1500+ for a PTW,
you can more than afford the $25 for a rental gun that shoots within the FPS limits (see below for rental info).  
For those owners of PTWs who state "yeah, but it's not that easy to swap them out!" or, "That's highly
impractical!" We'll dispel that myth by offering this video from AATV's complete review of the Systema PTW.  Note
the ease and length of time that it takes them to swap out the cylinder:




RENTALS: What if I don't have a gun?  What if I do and it's too hot to make the FPS limits?  Rentals will be
available for $25 per person and will include an AEG, freshly charged battery and 1-HiCap full of BBs.  So you
may wanna pick up an extra bag if you're a newbie or a hi-capper planning on renting.

Okay, you've got me so far...so how much does it cost and what am I paying for?!

Registration:
Codename: Solitaire is a measly $15 a head.  $15 for a day's worth of gaming goodness and the satisfaction of
knowing every penny of that $15 is going to benefit a more than worthy cause!  Plus, your chance to snag some of
the AWESOME prizes!  Okay, cool, so how do I register?  If you have PayPal, simply click the link below to
