R.I.P.
The Sanners owners, current club rules and the surrounding neigborhood would prevent any night shooting. The BoD would have to be formally asked to make an exception. As the Chief Range Safety Officer for the club I would NOT approve it. We have a shoot house that may be used for low light stages.
We are in.....just tell us when.
My $.02 - half day formats are great for big matches with large round counts. I dont see this match fitting that bill. IDPA majors seldom hit the 300 round count numbers.
Fall would be sweet. Spring even sweeter ...but unpredictable weather.

Okay so here is what I came up with and this has to go through the board.
I just want you all to see how I am planning out things and what you think.
14 stages, 233 rounds, 10 hours shooting with about a 1 hour lunch break (catered food will be ready because you filled out the match application telling them what you wanted) continuous drinks (that's water folks) stages will be pasted (you just shoot it and go) your looking at about 30 to 40 min per stage with 6 to 8 shooters per squad maximum.
Match fee would be 125 that and would include 1 match sponsored t-shirt, 1 raffle ticket and a nice catered lunch.
For an extra $15 you could buy or add to your match fee a match t-shirt.
I would need about 45 volunteers to run this match. That is going to be for times two days.
Friday would be staff and early shooters
Saturday and Sunday would be the match.
Trophies and raffle would follow at the caterer's restaurant .
Staff would get one raffle ticket for each day worked and half of the match fee for each day worked.
Still looking at 2 per room paid lodging for out of town SO's.
Match would have to be in June to support the day light time for this many stages.

The theme for the match would be escape from Southern Maryland with each stage leading to the end of the scenario in true IDPA fashion.

Thanks never trust spell check on the IPad. Was tired after getting all the stages done last night. I know they will fit just need the SO's and the weather to make it happen now,

I have received some good input for the match.
We are more likely going to use the first week in April (because it has been way too long since we had a match) This puts some pressure on the sponsors and staff but, I think we can do it.
I can't see getting a half day format unless it is two half days and I just don't hear people wanting to spend two nights at a hotel.
Right now I have a match hotel lined up with breakfast included for $99 a night so if you double up it is an easy $50 per night.
The only concern I have is I hear some mixed thoughts of people not wanting to shoot 200 rounds and spend the whole day at the match. I plan on at least 200 rounds and 12 stages.
I will post a new thread later this year like I did for the 2011 match for info only to keep things easy to understand and for the folks to know who our sponsors are. This thread we are using right now is for your thoughts about the match.
Right now the most important thing is getting some SO's to volunteer and I will do my best to make a great SO package for you all.

As I was filling out the spread sheet for the RO's I need your:
IDPA Membership #
Name
Qualification
good email address
Days you can work the match
IDPA Membership #
Name

good email address
Days you can work the match
Where can I find more info on local area matches? I checked the IDPA web site schedule (about 2 months ago) and the closest match I saw was in North Carolina.
Having a match in Maryland would be Excellent! I'm not qualified to be an SO but I'd like to help out if possible. I work every other weekend so I'd need to know the dates and times as soon as they're determined.

I'll volunteer to SO. I'm not IDPA certified yet but am planning on taking the next class JJ offers. If it is not before the match I'll still volunteer to help with whatever you need.
Oh and I wouldn't mind shooting it as well

No you do not need to be but, I need a about 20 SO's. I also need score keepers that know the rule book and they would not need to be SO's.
