CASTLE CONQUEST XXVIII
SEPTEMBER 26/27, 2009

PAINTBALL IS MY PASSION! IS IT YOURS? P.I.M.P. MAGIC

The GAME: CASTLE CONQUEST consists of the LONGEST RUNNING and LARGEST ATTACK & DEFEND GAME in paintball that purely defines the words “PURE PAINTBALL INSANITY” and is based around the Largest, Nastiest Castle in Paintball; CASTLE AAARRGH! The game also encompasses six other fields of EMR: TIPPMANN TOWN, AMBUSH ASSAULT, FORT BLUE’S CREW, BREW CREW BREWERY, IROQUOIS INVASION, and FERRYMEN’S AIRFIELD. The odds of Attackers versus Defenders are 4 to 1. The Attackers reinsert every 20 minutes and the Defenders reinsert every 10 Minutes. We will be shooting ONLY EMR’s CUSTOMIZED JT SPORTS FLUID PAINT at this event! The defense will be led by and joined by BLUE’S CREW, CANADIAN CONTIGENT,

The CASTLE: CASTLE AAARRGH is the LARGEST, NASTIEST CASTLE that exists in paintball. With over 32,000 square feet of playing area within its walls, CASTLE AAARRGH sports three stories of playing and a full two story 8’ deep rampart completely encircling a courtyard of buildings, towers, and barricades. The corridors below the ramparts are full of staggered walls, windows, and doorways leading into the courtyard. With only 4 openings from the outside into the courtyard and two gang ramps from the back hill onto the upper ramparts, this Castle is a fight to enter from Game On.
Facing the Castle Front Wall (Considered WALL 1) is TIPPMANN TOWN, a full size town, complete with two streets and numerous one and two story buildings as well as barricades and walls. This town makes a great defensive area to stall the attackers, but also give the attackers a good base of operations once they clear it out to mount attack after attack on the castle. To the right of the castle is WALL 2 which faces an upward sloping hill with barricades leading up to a tree line on top, from which attackers can rain paint into the courtyard and upper walls. The back wall (WALL 3) is faced with another upward slope that is completely covered with trees and rock outcrops, providing cover to both attackers and defenders. A long wooded slope goes downward from the left wall (WALL 4) that has numerous buildings and natural barricades throughout it and is a point of hard fighting every game.

PLAY FAIR! PLAY SAFE! KEEP COOL! HAVE FUN! Listen to the REFS as they make the calls, not the players. Be courteous to your fellow players and make this a blast. PAINTBALL IS MY PASSION! IS IT YOUR? P.I.M.P. MAGIC

Castle Conquest will start promptly at 11:00 am Saturday morning and end at 6:00 pm Saturday Evening. Chronoing for the attackers is beside the Rec. Center and Chronoing for the defenders is at CASTLE AAARRGH. Upon Chronoing, you ID card will be punched. Roving Chrono Refs will be checking speeds all during the event. Chrono Speed for this event is 275 FPS. The safety speech for the attackers will be held at the stage beside the Picnic Pavilion and for the defenders in the Castle Courtyard.
The game will be held on the following fields: CASTLE AAARRGH, TIPPMANN TOWN, AMBUSH ASSAULT, FORT RTD, BREW CREW BREWERY, IROQUOIS INVASION, and FERRYMEN’S AIRFIELD. There are 10 objectives within CASTLE AAARRGH that the attackers must retrieve and present to the ref at the Barn to win the game. They are: the ROYAL PLATTER, ALE KEG, EXCALIBER SWORD, PRINCESS ZEUSS, KING’S RANSOM, ROYAL KEY to the FRONT GATE, BLUE’S CRYSTAL BALL, EMR’S COAT of ARMS, BLUE’S ROYAL STALLION, and BLUE’S ROYAL CHALICE. If at least five objectives have not been seized by the attackers within the first four hours of the game, then the defenders win. If the attackers do retrieve at least five objectives, then the game continues until all 10 objectives have been recovered. If the game is over within 4 hours, then new defenders will be chosen and another CASTLE CONQUEST ran.
The attackers start the game beside the Barn and reinsert there every 20 minutes. The defenders start the game within the Castle walls and reinsert from the Castle Dead Zone every 10 minutes. The defenders may leave the Castle anytime through the 6 entrances and can go anywhere on the 7 fields except past the buildings in TIPPMANN TOWN and past the tower at the edge of FERRYMEN’S AIRFIELD.
No barricades, boards, wooden structures, screwed together stacks of barrels, or spools can be moved by the players. Loose 55 gallon plastic barrels and two-pallet A-frames can be moved by the defenders to help build their defenses. No climbing of any trees, ladders, or walls, only steps with hand-rails. Only the four ground entrances and the two upper gang ramps can be used to enter the Castle. No Explosives, Fireworks, Knives, Tools, Alcohol Use, or Drug Use is allowed during this game. Cannons and LAWS can only be used as artillery and must be fired at a 45-degree angle and coordinated with a ref. No direct fire. Paint grenades are allowed as long as they are the balloon type and should not hold blue paint as splatter does not count from paintballs and grenade paint cannot be distinguished from paintballs. They can only be thrown by hand and not by any devices (Sling Shots, Lacrosse Sticks, LAWS, Mortars, etc.). No Smoke is allowed to be used by any players.
A Player is marked out if a paintball hits any part of his body or equipment. He is also out if in the process of moving a barrel and the barrel is hit. Grenade hits can mark out a player if there is an accumulation of paint that would cover a spot the size of a 50 cent piece in any color other than Blue. SPLATTER DOES NOT COUNT, no matter how much there is from paintballs, subject to a refs call. When hit, immediately yell OUT, put your Barrel Cover on your Barrel, raise your barrel in the air, and quickly make your way off the field. If you need help, call for a ref.
NO SHOOTING UPWARD OR DOWNWARD THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE FLOORBOARDS IN THE CASTLE!!! NO SHOOTING THROUGH ANY OPENING LESS THAN 4” WIDE IN THE CASTLE WALLS!!! NO BLIND FIRING! ANY PLAYERS CAUGHT WITH OFF FIELD PAINT WILL BE EJECTED IMMEDIATELY FROM THE GAME! ONLY EMR’S CUSTOM BLUE PAINTBALLS ARE ALLOWED! NO PHYSICAL CONTACT AT ALL OR THE PLAYER WILL BE EJECTED FROM THE PREMISES AND POSSIBLY CHARGED WITH ASSAULT!
THREE PUNCHES ON YOUR I.D. TAG AND YOU ARE OUT OF THE GAME AND PRIZE DRAWING. Your wristband will be taken as well as your I.D. Tag. Punches will be given for Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Shooting a marker over 275 fps, overshooting, acting in an unsafe manner or endangering others, blind shooting, and intentionally shooting a ref. A player will receive two punches if he removes his mask, attempts to remove his mask, or attempts to lift his mask. We take safety and fair play very seriously. Make this a great game for all involved and be safe and courteous to all.
