I heard you can borrow a field from NASA? How would this be arranged?

Organizing and planning the event is gonna take a LOT of work. Any suggestions on getting enough people to help assemble the field and run the game? We have a relatively small team.

Instead of a full-blown FMS, there's a simplified version called "FMS Lite". Is there a 2010 version? Are there any hardware requirements (wireless router, computer, something)? And how would the "DOGMA" ball return timer work with this setup without the sensors near the goals and ball return?

Any other tips/hints/suggestions?

While this is an awesome idea, just know it is also a huge undertaking. I by no means am trying to discourage you, on the contrary, I am trying to set your expectations.

I would suggest contacting someone that is already running an off season event and get a really good feel from them what it takes. You might even be able to partner with them to help run their event for a time or two so that you truly know what it takes.

We have had the same desire but realized we just don't have the resources currently to pull it off.
