Laserforce Detroit will be hosting their second Space Marines 5 Invitational Tournament January 9th to January 11th.
Practice night is January 8th.
Cost is $60/person and that includes the practice night and the awards dinner.
International Rules will be used, as well as the full field. The full field thing is new as typically Detroit has only used the bottom floor and their ramps for SM5 in the past.
The big difference in this tournament from others in the past is the positions will be done via random draw before each game, so there could be some VERY interesting match-ups.
If you don’t have a full team of 6, feel free to post in the tournament forum to find a team. The more the merrier.
The 2012 US Nationals will be held in Sacramento, CA USA July 30-August 3 2012.
Space Marines 5 will be played.
International rules will be used.
Cost details to follow.
The video starts off a bit slow, but then moves on to what we’d care about.
**Interesting discussion you have at the end there Newsmen Kris and Kelly…
I do agree with one thing that Kris said; “I do confess, I did enjoy hearing the Australian accent”
Don’t be ashamed any longer Kris, Stand up and be proud of what you love!
This video is so unintentionally quotable, so be sure to check out the comments section for it as well.
Always good to see the sport on TV
**Apparently the secret to being the best player in the world is to “Play lots of games.”
In that case I’ll be the number one player in the world in no time.
In the meantime, be sure to hang on to those “Rusty” autographs!
… so some updates might ACTUALLY get done to the content.
Welcome Shadow Dagger to the staff.
It’s a small staff, and he’s not getting paid… but still
… and I actually get to go this year
Well, unless I knock another tooth out between now and when I leave Friday. My wife has told me in no uncertain terms that she will ban me from going if I shatter out another tooth playing lasers.
I think I’ll be ok…
This should be one of the most interactive nationals ever, with plans to have the score monitor streaming (link when I have it) as well as game by game stat updates. Should be a good time.
Also, thanks to Shadow Dagger from the Chula Vista site for going through and creating this awesome google map with all current Laserforce sites on it. Very appreciated since I didn’t have to do it
Hot off the presses – it looks like we’ll be welcoming another site into the Laserforce family.
This site will be north of San Diego in the San Marcos area, about 45 miles north of the existing Chula Vista site.
Their website can be found here. Not a ton of content there yet, but if you’re in the Southern California area check them out when they open.
So it’s been a while since my last update.
I blame real life.
Noteworthy things in the last few months:
1) Laserforce is now open in Long Island, New York. It’s at a FEC called Active Kidz (http://activekidzlongisland.com/). Hopefully we’ll get some additional details as to number of suits shortly.
2) I’m aware that other sites have opened as well. I’m also aware that I haven’t updated the site listings in quite some time. Couple of things at work here. A) I haven’t been spending much/any time updating this site. I’m going to try to do better with that. B) I do need to get an updated site list from LF Corporate so I make sure the information I post is accurate.
3) 2011 Internationals in Syracuse, NY are fast approaching. Australia is sending another team this year that, on paper, looks stronger than the team that won last year. I’m looking forward to finally making it to a US Nats – it’s been a few years.
4) Laserforce Sacramento (Lasertag of Carmichael) just got a member terminal in. Sue me – it’s my home site and it’s a pretty cool feature
