About TC Paintball Copemish
The field is 55 acres with something for everyone! Half of the field is comprised of a "Combat Town" with all man-made bunkers including cars, castles, huts and more. The other half of the field is all woodland, both thick and thin with small villages sprinkled about. Easy to navigate trail system as well! If you played with us for Throwdown I, you will be pleased to hear the castle is now MUCH MUCH larger! Should promote some awesome play. There will also be guns, gear, BB's, batteries, accessories and much more for sale. Food and beverages are also available for purchase. Valken is a sponsor and will also be on site. There are restroom rooms, running water and electricity available and we will have a charging station for all of our AEG users. Free air fills for HPA users and gun rentals (limited to 10!). 4+ refs will also be out in the field making sure the game runs smoothly; they have been truly amazing in the past! Photographers will also be wandering around. If something isn't covered, feel free to ask. The entire facility and staff are fantastic!
Gameplay
The Throwdown is very unique in its own way and has been since dubbed a "MilSim-Lite". I would never go as far to call the event a full-on MilSim, but it certainly will put you into some MilSim situations, or, at the very least a MilSim mindset. During the event, there will be 10+ objectives to complete for both sides. Sometimes you're playing offense, sometimes you're playing defense and sometimes you're racing to get there first. All you need to know is that the objectives are Pass/Fail and only 1 team can earn the points! The kicker: No one knows when the objectives will be passed out! Just like in a real life situation, things happen at random... so do our objectives. During the event, refs will hand out objectives at a teams HQ. Teams will need to read the objective and carry it out. All objectives are time sensitive. It will take team work, communication and critical thinking to effectively pass all objectives. There will also be "all day" objectives. The castle will be up for capture and whichever team owns the castle at specific times, they will earn points. You will be kept very busy between completing objectives or attempting to capture the castle!
5v5
We stop all play for the 5v5 tournament. This gives time for players to take a rest as well as watch and/or participate in the tournament. CQB/Mid-range guns are only permitted. Squads of 5 from each team will go head to head on a close quarters course in a Team Deathmatch style play. When a match is over, the next squads of 5 will step up and face off against each other. The team (Green or Tan) who wins the the most matches in 1 hour wins the tournament and points for their team! This is a very fast paced and fun 1 hour of play as well as a good way to test your squads ability to lay it down under stress and high speed play!
