FIELD PAINT ONLY AGAIN FIELD PAINT ONLY -- FPO -- FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT SEE THIS AND WANT TO DISPUTE IT

FIELD PAINT ONLY


If you are caught with "other" paint, you will be escorted off the field and either:

  1. Buy the Field paint
  2. Don't buy and don't play

For those people hit with NON-Field paint, it does not count!!!!! If shot with NON-field paint bring yourself to a ref/player ref and be cleaned. This will immediately put you back in the game and also show us that someone is not abiding by the rules so we can investigate it. Do not wipe yourself... this will hinder our ability to catch the culprit

DO I NEED ANYTHING ELSE???

DIRECTIONS: DO NOT Go to the Gates at West Point!!
The event will be at TBD. on RT 293.

From the North/South: Please take Interstate 87 south/north to exit 16 and follow the signs to West Point (US 6)
Then at the US 6/RT 293 split (over the mountain) take the left fork (RT 293). Camp Buckner will be on the Left hand side.

FROM EAST/WEST: Take Interstate 84 to Newburgh and take the US 9W Exit and proceed south. After 15 Minutes you will be going down the mountain and at the base an exit for 218/293 will come up fast. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS TURN!! Take the left to go to RT 293 and after 2-3 miles CAMP BUCKNER will be on the right hand side.

ALL: RT 293 has only one flashing light. That is where Camp Buckner is at. Across the street is the playing filed. DO NOT GO ON THE PLAYING until the designated time
You MUST have all waivers and registration signed!!! If you are under the age of 18, you must have a parent or guardian sign your waivers/registration.
