Registration will end on: May 4, 2008. After this day, we will review all the applications and select the teams to be accepted. The accepted players will be notified where to paypal the money.

Again, prepayment is mandatory for both Sniper/Spotters, as well as guards. After payment is received, each person will recieve an event patch that they must bring on the day of the event.

Ghillie suits are mandatory for sniper/spotter teams, but style of ghillie is not regulated. Game will be played regardless of weather. Waivers will be available on site for those about 18. If under 18, parents/guardians must complete and sign a printed out waiver.

FULL seal goggles are mandatory. Wire mesh goggles are allowed for snipers & spotters only.

4 MRE's will be provided to each sniper/spotter team (2 per person). There will be hotdogs made on friday night for everyone, along with zip-lock bags for sniper teams to grab a couple extra before they head out onto the field for the night.

FPS Limits:
-Snipers shoot up to 550 fps with .20g BB.
-Spotters shoot up to 420fps with .20g BB, but if fps is above 350, it is asked that you remain on Semi-Auto only.
-Guards = same as spotters.

Event Operations - Sniper/Spotter team.

-After briefing, each team will pick a random unmarked envelope. Each envelope will include your camping location, your team number, scenarios, Map, etc.

- After briefing, you will be taken to your campsite. Once there, set up your camp. The necessities for your fire will be in a garbage bag in your campsite. from 9pm - 5am, you cannot leave your campsite. This is also a CEASE FIRE time, meaning absolutely no shooting. Use this time to review the contents of your envelope, as well as plan out your route and strategize with your partner. Also use this time to get some sleep or eat an MRE. at 5am you are allowed to now leave the campsite and go about your day.

- After 5am, all teams are free to roam in the bounds of the field to complete any of the objectives, in any order, at any time. All objectives are optionaland have a set point value. Objectives will vary in assignment, as well as difficulty. Each team will have the opportunity to complete all objectives.

-Snipers must use bolt action rifles. Spotters must use mid/low cap mags only (NO highcaps). It is Mandatory that at least one person in your two man team has a radio, yet it is recommended that you both do.

-Respawns:
When either the sniper or spotter is shot, they will announce they are hit, put on a red kill rag (mandatory), and immediately exit the field and walk to the designated respawn zone. You must also radio in that the 'Sniper or Spotter' from 'Sniper team #' has been hit. Points will be deducted for each death.

First hit: The team member that was hit must remain in respawn for 1 hour. The other team member can try to complete objectives on their own if they wish. If both are hit, then both are out for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the sniper can head to a designated area where the spotter must also go to. The sniper can only re-enter the game if his spotter meets him at the designated area.

Second hit: Same as 'First Hit' except respawn time is 2 hours. Points will be deducted.

Third hit: The team is deducted more points and that player is done for the remainder of the day. If the other member is still in the game, they must continue alone.

Suggested items:
-Blanket to lay on during period of cease fire.
-Waterproof tarp to put of as a canopy and cover your gear during cease fire.
-Watch (mandatory)
-Radio (mandatory)
-Flashlight
-Hydration Packs
-Bottled Water
-Compass
-Red Kill Rag
-Bug spray
-Event Patch
-Backpack (preferably a small one)

There are other items that can be used. However, if you have any questions about items and whether or not they are allowed, please pm me or mosin and we will get you an answer ASAP.

All these items can be left at your camp site, however it is encourage that you bring them with you so you don’t lose anything. Again, the choice is yours on this one, but know that if you lose your gear in the field we can only help you find it for so long. If you are having trouble finding your gear then please radio into the command and notify them of your sniper number so you’re not shot out. However please place a killrag over your head for safety reasons and after you have found your gear you can take it with you to the main base or leave it in the field again, but please head back to respawn.

In your backpack, you should have room for your MRE's/extra food. Extra water bottles. Also, repair tools should be brought in the backpack as well. We would prefer that any gun troubles are done in the field of battle and under the pressure of a battle situation, to add more realism to the game.

Why we should pick you/additional comments:


Guards:

Arrive any time after 4pm on Friday. You will not be required on the field until the very early morning of Saturday (about 4:30-5am), so spending the night on Friday is highly recommended. Bring your own tents and supplies as you see fit. Guards are only needed for Saturday. All guards are welcome to stay on sunday to spectate the sniper competition, but again, we only need guards/generals for Saturday.

Guards/generals will also be hand picked, however it will be more lenient. We would still like to have more experienced players act as the guards/generals.

Guards will be assigned to a station, under the command of a hand picked general/squad leader. The general will be given an envelope with task instructions. These instructions are to be taken very seriously, as they add to the realism of the event. Generals are highly recommended to wear full face protection, as they will be targets for snipers, full face protection is not mandatory however.

If a guard is shot, they have a 30 minute respawn. Only then will they be allowed to return to the city they are defending and continue their duties. Also, remember that dead men don’t talk, or remember past events after they have been shot out.

Guards may not leave the designated perimeter of their assigned base. If a guard spots a sniper/spotter, and has a 100% confirmed visual, they must radio it into command and await further instructions. If the sniper/spotter team fires their weapon, guards can return fire without radioing their general. Guards may also leave the perimeter if fired upon.

Recommended items:

-Red Kill Rag
-Watch (mandatory)
-Radio (mandatory)
-Flashlight
-Hydration pack
-Bug spray
-Event Patch

Guards will be provided meals as well.

Man I want to go to the sniper cup. I was seriously considering taking my spotter there, but I have finals that week. I really wouldn't like their rules either. I'd hate to drive all the way up there to get shot three times and be out of the tournament. You get shot one time and you have to wait 1 hour. A second time and two hours. Then three times and you're out! That's just a little too extreme for me. I like how it raises the stakes, but I also very much hate waiting while I miss all the action Now, take the same tournament and make it in Springfield, and I'M THERE!!

lol sorry was just talking to one of the strikers and they said that they were doing a mini sniper thing in the junior tac challenge, not a seperate thing. maybe if we plan we can hold a sniper challenge of our own. we would have to hold it at springfield because its the only field that has the room to do the vast nav, stuff that is requiored in this type of scenario. what do you guys think?

sticks

I was wandering if the two of our new members from michigan were planning on going to this. It looked appealing, but like admin said I would be horribly mad at myself if I got out early b/c the other guy has to go on. And the drive would be rather hard to sit through as well. Looks like a pretty sweet/unique event. I think if we pushed for it we would be able to get some kind of event like this up and runner for ohio in the upcoming years! I see a lot of people who are normally snipers or spotters going just for the experience.

i wouldn't mind if the entrance fee was something like 25-30 but 35 is a little steep. but i guess they have to pay for the MRE's. the 3 hit system wouldn't be that bad. they only do it so that the first challenges would move faster. i think they mean 3 different times being hit, not just a burst.

sticks

ADMIN and I discussed this. The only reason we thought that aspect was bad was due to our driving time. It would be a huge commitment for us to go up there, we wouldn't want to chance things turning out that way for one of our first times out as a unit. I love the idea of it. I think the organizer/s did a really good job of making sure they test these groups to the max.

ye especially with gas prices... i hope some Saudi Arabian prince is happy

Hey guys, this is Mosin (Co-event operator of The Midwest Sniper Cup 2008)

Let me just give you guys a little update on the event:

Normal package (2 MRE's, 1 Patch *Per each player): $35 Per Person, $70 Per Team
No Food needed (1 Patch only, no MRE's *Per each player): $20 Per Person, $40 Per Team

Also, we would like to announce DB Customs as an official sponser of this event. Dwayne (Owner of DB Customs) has been kind enough to donate 5 6.01 Tightbores, 3 will go to the top three placers, and the other two are going to be raffled off for The Wounded Warrior Foundation.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns.. Please send me an Email at MidwestSniperCup@Gmail.com

Is there another I don't know about?

I'm pretty sure that there isn't.

No there isn't a new one.

Mosin the guy who co-hosted is in the Navy now so I doubt theres gonna be a new one anytime soon. I might OM the other host and see if hes working on something like this again. I guess last years was really fun, but I also heard the field was a little to small for this kinda play. Maybe Springfield? I doubt they would invest in the money to come all the way down here though .

Michiganairsoft.com

Yeah,

Unfortunately i guess there not quite as MilSim as the ones down here in Ohio. But I'm sure you will have fun with them. MilSim takes awhile to get used to.

Still no word on the sequel of this event, if there's going to be a sequel....

Would you MI boys come down to Springfield of Coulumbus Ohio if we had a similar event here?

sticks

this sounds ALOT like someone is trying to recreate the international sniper competition that recently happened in October of last year, except with airsoft.

wish we had something like this in North Carolina

now that I will have my license in less then a month, I could make an Ohio event this summer.

That sounds pretty sick. Wish we had something like that out in CA.
