A couple of things to keep in mind-
At this point it looks like we'll be the only team headed over from the U.S. That kind of levels a bit of responsibility that you might not realize at first glance. Think about it. The first team from the U.S. to participate in one of the first WORLD tournaments. We'll be competing against teams from Britain, Korea, Japan, and who knows from where else. It's hard to say if the Safezone World Tournaments will emerge as the recognized leader of world tournaments, but they look to be serious about it.
If you go, you could be there at the foundation of airsoft's emergence as a recognized world class sport.
I'm also guessing there's a good chance to get your ugly mug pasted somewhere within action shots of the beautifly colored pages in Safezone Magazine. How cool would that be? Your Grandkids will be greatly impressed someday.
However, you also have to keep in mind that this ain't going to be cheap. We don't have any set prices yet, but I'm expecting to spend between $1500 and $2000 total on the trip. To me it's well worth it. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Do you want to be part of it?

I'll go, depending on the cost of accomidations. I hear my fathers Frequent Flier miles calling my name. Which i would imagine a large cost of the trip will be airfare, like 800ish?
Anyways, not to pee in anyones pool. But can we just board a plane with airsoft replicas in our checked bagage? I've heard of people bring stuff back over from Japan no problems, but their Security people know what they are. I'm wondering if you'd be able to even get on a plane in New York or Chicago with them in your checked bagage. Anyways just a thought, that really sort of weights in.

I ran across some info on the "Blackhawk Down" scenario being run sometime in the 2 days prior to the competition. It's not the same one we would be going to, but I'll bet the rules will be the same.
Blackhawk Down Weekend 5th-6th March 2005
Location: Stirling Services Training Centre, Crickhowell.
Dress/ Team selection: Please state on your booking form your prefered side (American or Skinny), but bear in mind that not everyone can be accomodated on to the Americans, it will be done on a first come first served basis. Having said that over the years it has been proved that the skinny's have a great time.
American's need to wear full desert kit(UK or US)
Skinny's need to wear anything but desert, we thoroughly support the charity shop approach and hope to see as many of you as possible in circa '93 old bright and ragged clothes.
Storyline: I'm sure you all know it already, if you don't or cant remember it then go down the video shop...
The games will start with the outnumbered american's launching a snatch operation in the centre of mogadishu with a full insertion by 'air'. Using rules of engagement the suspects need to be secured,bagged and tagged and prepared for a motorised extraction, the mission itself should only take a couple of hours.
Training: Training will be announced closer to the time.
Accomodation will be provided in our sports hall and hot food will be for sale during set times.
The site will be open for arrivals from friday evening.
Our on site shop will have pyrotechnics, bb's and a small range of kit for sale.

Not sure anyone can predict that. I'm guessing that as long as Safezone succeeds as a magazine they'll continue to sponsor the event. Sponsoring the event kind of positions them as the "premier" magazine in the English speaking part of the airsoft industry. FPS doesn't sponsor a world event.
So far as I can tell from the e-mails that I get it looks as if it will be quite successful. Safezone already claims that more than one team will be coming from Asia to compete. I also know that they quite badly want to have a team from the USA there. That would give them even more credibility as THE world tournament if all the major countries were represented.
If you run you'll only die faster, and if you hide I will still find you.

Alert for all travellers to North America: « Reply #11 on Feb 25, 2008, 3:20pm »
Alert for all travellers to North America: Abuse of Human Rights and Privacy Violations:
BEWARE of racially intolerant white canadian cops and security and their henchmen who claim
to be despots; following parasitically in the footsteps of their american counterparts, and
wilfully engage in their racial profiling of non-whites, in racial harassment of
non-whites, and in racially dehumanizing attempts to racially harass non-whites through
intimidating physically, mentally, and spiritually; portraying their racial hatred of
non-whites through causing wilfull and dehumanizing disturbance to non-whites through using illegal wall-see-through technologies and audio-bugs on non-whites' homes; through
listening and watching through the walls of non-whites' rented and owned homes, through
their internet and private telephones, and through using tempest technology to latch on as
parasites onto others' computers' hard-drives as well amounting to illegal plagiarism and
privacy violations. The perpetuators of these evil deeds do this from their cars using
illegal equipment slyly given to them by the unworthy cops, and then accelerating their
cars loudly and ntimidatingly near non-whites' homes and driving intimidatingly in presence
of non-whites on streets, making threatening u-turns, driving intimidatingly right up and
over sidewalks when a non-white is on the sidewalk, and throwing their ugly bullying weight
around, in their shameless acts of cowardice. They attempt to judge immigrants through see
through wall technological devices in the name of post 911, and use it to harass immigrants
living their daily lives. Using these devices, living, breathing, eating, sleeping,
toilet, household chores, sexual activities, masturbation and body movements of female and
male immigrants is prohibited in the name of keeping a strict watch on the movements of
immigrants post 911, that is illegal harassment and racism, the exposure of truths that the
wrongdoers cannot bear. For every body movement of immigrants inside their owned or rented
homes or apartments, neighborhood nonsense and harassment prevails violating immigrants
privacy and human rights; whereas the their bony assed lickers, are given these illegal
equipments through connivance of cops and their police state who cannot bear immigrants but
only want the money, brains of immigrants and other countries. It is all done slyly,
supposedly smartly, either loudly or silently; however, they cannot fool all the people all
the time.
SHAME on these anti-christ cops who wail their sirens abusively everytime non-white females
and males take showers, move and talk inside their rented and owned homes in daily routine
living, in addition to having their henchmen and henchwomen, and often, using their
non-white gutless henchmen and henchwomen in cars, transport, shopping centers,
neighborhoods, etc, to commit these ugly harassing racially profiling deeds at all times
day and night. Using non-whites to engage in racial harassment of other non-whites is an obnoxiously evil sinister humanely disgraceful intelligent move of the whites well-known
for their ugly divide and rule tactics through their non-white henchmen and henchwomen. The
white cops and their racial stooges should be debarred from going to churches for their
evil deeds.
It's a SHAMEFUL disgrace when the so called protectors of law turn into abusers of law
themselves and throw the weight of their uniforms and law around as cowards disturbing the
peace in their attempt to perpetuate their jobs and abuse of power. Racially intolerant
white cops should be strippted of their uniforms and jobs and be debarred from all
religious shrines. The white christians bloatedness has reached its evil peak and is on the
downfall at equally great speed corresponding to their twisting the word in their favor and portraying themselves in good light and non-whites in bad light. While they thrive in
their earthly power, when the forces of nature get unleashed on them, they shall be
debarred from the book of life. So, they and their henchmen and henchwomen, appear to be
very law respecting on the outside; however, they network cowardly to commit sly acts of provocation to non-whites all the time, which is supposed to be legally acceptable. Is
watching through walls of non-whites homes, bugging their homes, working in networking
syndicates against them, committing human rights and privacy violations against them,
supposedly lawful for the whites? Who makes those laws that favor only the whites? The law
itself has racism in its clauses. The ugly inner dirt of the perpetuators of these evil
deeds of racism do not deserve to step into religious institutions for their ugly deeds - such as, if you ain't white, you ain't right? Oh! Really? Nicely dressed, beautiful people,
magnificient concrete jungles, clean roads and lawns, sweet polite talkers on the outside,
full of ugly stench in their souls, that is the cause of these racist policies that are
outrightly biased against non-whites. What a shame!
Most of these ugly acts of dehumanizing racial profiling depict the cowardice of the doers
of these deeds in the real sense, and are done at the behind the scenes insistence of the
racially intolerant white cops through their frontline stooges. However, without physical
evidence, the white cops, security, societies, and their henchmen and henchwomen are
laughing sinisterly at their heinous deeds and the legal system seems to support this evil through its inability to take action without physical evidence. Their racial profiling
penetrates public transport systems, shops and stores to do all they can to make the
non-whites feel unwelcome in their dehumanizing acts of racial profiling against non-whites
and those who don't conform to their nonsense. The white cops, security, and white
communities use their henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are told and from behind the safety cushion of their oil-guzzling, pollution creating, often dark-glassed vehicles
to intimidate and harass non-whites in obnoxious racial profiling that reflects the
immoral, despotic, and cowardly behaviour of racially intolerant white cops, security,
communities and their dumb henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are told, fuelled as
they are in their racial frenzy, thanks to the racially manipulative corporate controlled
media. The whites are the biggest criminals and terrorists themselves twisting the word of
God to portray nonwhites in bad light and themselves in good light. The whole of North
America is in heavy debt; however, their media fools them and the world, and they go as
merceneries to other countries through their evil colonial tactics of wars, business, and
infiltration, to screw the world of its resources, to invite immigrants and then to screw
them of their money and happiness through racial profiling, and their culture teaches them
to screw other cultures, look down on other cultures, and to teach other cultures that all
cultures are of downtroddens and only North American culture is the right culture! Wow!
Nothing more could be farther than truth. This reflects the outright blasphemy and racial
obnoxiousness of the North American culture itself!
Volunteers are welcome to circulate this information to all they know to put an end to this
abuse and violations of human rights committed by immorally misbehaved white cops,
security, white communities, public transports, shops, stores, etc, and their dumb henchmen
and henchwomen who do just as they are told in their racial frenzy.
Save this information on your computers before any cowards remove it from the websites.
Racism is immoral and dehumanizing behaviour that reflects the "incapable to perform
humanely" quality of those who are racist and are being watched from God's court above in
ways they cannot be expected to be capable to perceive yet.
It's a shame when obnoxious stench of racism comes from people in so called rich countries.
It's even more of a shame when words are twisted by media to influence young minds with
lies. It's even more of a shame when so called authorities perpetuate racism and behave
racistly and enforce racist policies and behaviour through intimidating means amidst outer
sweet and polite talks. Racism seems to be prominent among so called white people in rich countries who cannot bear non-whites from other countries of origin. Planet Earth belongs
to people of Earth. Highly educated people of high intellectual calibres, rich bosses and
CEOs, etc, of rich countries are a blotch on humanity and their material levels when they
haven't yet evolved to basic human concepts of all humans have red blood irrespective of
race.
Racism stems from social attitudes that are perpetuated by racist societies, the media, the
authoritarians, and the peers. It's time to say, shame on all those who perpetuate racism
and racist attitudes. It's time the white rigid narrowminded racist colonialists go back to
