DX-Robert

Apoc and Bpoc return for 2024!  Apoc is still a large format general nerf war at Cousins Paintball and Bpoc is still a competitive format tournament at Sports Domain Academy.

I realize the post is a bit late given that these are happening this weekend, but it's more for historical reference than actually expecting anyone to read it now lol.

Notes:

- Apoc and Bpoc are mostly adult events, you must be 12+ to play.  Players under 18 must have a parent or guardian present the entire time.

- Thunderstorms are in the forecast.  There is a protocol in place for lightning, but otherwise Apoc goes on rain or shine.  Bpoc is indoors.  The current forecast trend leans on storms arriving in the afternoon, so the best move for getting more gameplay in may be to arrive on time.  This may change as we are still several days out.

- It may be in the low 90s with high humidity.  South Jersey in the summer is hot?  Surprised Pikachu face!  Please hydrate, bring plenty of water and energy drinks, and also bug spray.

- Eye pro is mandatory!  You could get hit in the face at 300 FPS lol.

- NO cars may be driven into the staging area unless given prior authorization.

- HPA and realistic-looking blasters are allowed. (HPA on a case-by-case basis, show your blaster to an admin)

When: Saturday, August 3, 2024, from 11 AM – 6:30 PM

Where: Cousins Paintball, 750 Whiting New Egypt Rd, Manchester, NJ
There is a secondary parking lot when the main lot reaches capacity.  After parking, check in at the main office and then walk up the path to find the staging area.  Admin will be on hand to help.



FPS Cap: 300 FPS for most games.  Some rounds may have different/lower caps for different player classes and blaster types.  This will be clearly explained by admin at the start of those games.  There will be a 130 flat cap for low power games such as attack/defend and potentially domination.

Updated Apoc Rules: https://docs.google....D8OCIS6C9A8NWdY

Gametypes: Flag Push, Death Clicks, Domination, Defend the Core, and Attack/Defend
 

Cost: $15.  This is the field fee for the paintball venue and is the best deal ever - you get a whopping 8 hours of gameplay on three massive fields with trenches, a village of wooden buildings, barrels, sand mounds, and forest.  Lots of cover!

What's it like? Here is a video from 2021 Apoc - We also allow vendors and sale of whatever you want to sell.

Game Format: Flag Dash

Cost: $35.  This is the field fee for the indoor venue, you get 6 hours of competitive tournament gameplay in the Maryland flag dash format, which is extremely fun.  This is a casual style tournament, so you do not need to have a pre-formed team.  Best part?  It's indoors, so no 90 degree Jersey heat or thunderstorms to worry about!

What's it like? Here is a video from a comp clinic - prominently featuring me wiping out off-break, cause I'll never live that moment down.  It's like this, but with more teams!

It's sad that NH is so abandoned that last year's Apoc wasn't even posted here, but the event itself is not only still alive, but is actually growing, with over 100 players attending in 2022!

We have something special planned for you guys in 2023 - Apoc is becoming a 2 day event!
