The event will be entirely greek because i think it will be easier to organize teams by houses instead of dividing dozens of randoms. I was thinking of having all of the proceeds go towards a veterans foundation, but i'm not sure if a mock war would be insulting or not. I'm not sure how much to charge, how to publicize etc. so if you have any suggestions, criticism, or alternate ideas i'd appreciate it.

Thank you,
I think this sounds like fun....a thought or two to add...

How will you know when a team member is "out" by the other team? I can just envision the more "gungho" guy types on the teams just racing to the other side to grab the flag...soak or not.

In paintball types games, you know when a person has been hit (different color paint for each team).

Perhaps each team designs their own shirt on WHITE...and their "weapon" is loaded with a dye of different color...Team A is blue, Team B is red, Team C is yellow, Team D is green, etc, for instance. The dye shows up on the white shirt to show a "HIT".

At the end each team member has a great "tie-dyed" type shirt as a souvenior.

You could issue the white shirts at team registration and they can do the screen of their team...best tshirt as part of the competition.
