Sacramento Pump Day XXIV -- DATE: Sunday, April 24th
------------------------
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Well everyone, 2 years have passed us by, and this game is the two year anniversary. Peter and I have had a complete blast hosting these pump days for two years now, never missing a month, and never getting rained on *knock on wood*. We hope to have many days to come! Sac Pump day these past two years has brought together pump players from all over the state and country to play on Peter's home built field. We've had players from San Francisco, Sonoma, Guerneville, Corona, LA, Yuba City, Redding, Tahoe, and from as far away as Utah, Massachusets, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada! It's great to have met you all and to have had the chance to shoot you and get shot by you.
We know there are quite a few out there who have heard of us, and want to come play a day, well, if you're ever planning a trip to California for ANY reason what so ever, LET US KNOW, we can plan far in advance to schedule Pump Day on a date to accomidate you...we've done it in the past!
Also, from now on, I'm going to try to have a clip board out at Pump Day next to the "Donation Pod" with a spreadsheet you can fill out with your name and e-mail address. That way I can add you to a mailing list for future pump day announcements (which will almost alway be before its posted on any forums), and other important news. I will also accept e-mails sent to Viper84@jps.net asking to be added to the list since I know some of you don't always get a chance to visit the forums.
We hope to see you guys all out here for PD-24 its gonna be a total blast!
Your Gracious Hosts,
- Tim "FirePro84" Firpo

SACRAMENTO PUMP DAY
For over 2 years now, we've had a Pump Day once a month, every month, averaging anywhere from 2 - 30 people each day. The field has changed regularly over this time to evolve to what we have today. It has many different bunkers and will accommodate up to 15 vs. 15 play. The field is a speedball-based field built out of plywood, Spools, Palates, and other items. Bunkers include 'T' bunkers, 'V' bunkers, a 'snake', Center '50', etc. There is also a tree line on one side we call the tunnel, providing good cover which is in play. Players can use this to sneak around the field and get to opposite 40 bunkers relatively un-noticed. Over the time we've played, the regulars have come up with names for many of the bunkers such as shower, house, wheelbarrow, gate, shovel, star king, Wigums bunker, and Tims bunker, after the safety orientation feel free to walk the field and ask one of us what is what.
