supervise different missions , such as building a fence and saddling a horse . The gamblers were treated to an on-field casino that was headed up by Ambrus and Robin Briggs . They created a bunch of unique games that you would have sworn were from National Lampoon ’ s Vegas Vacation .
Each hour of the game featured a Brand mission that both sides were competing for . Whichever side won that mission earned a real brand on a cowhide scoreboard . The brands were made by a friend of ASE ’ s , Hurtz Donut ( who goes by Chicken-Eye ). In addition to the on-field missions , all players were invited to participate in the Cowboy Games to see who was the Best Overall Cowboy . These events included a hay bale toss for height , fastest time to rope a roping dummy 3 times , and the fastest time to saddle the fake horse . David Rightmire of Team Monster Killers took home the honors and the trophy .
Commanders took their winnings from the Casino and spent them at the FEED STORE . They bought fuel for the tank , mineral blocks to increase the herd ’ s weight gain ( single mission score multiplier ) as well as “ wanted ” posters . They could also buy specific elements needed to complete missions where they were unable to secure needed items on the field . The Feed Store added an awesome strategic element that the 6666 ’ s ranch grabbed right away . The Yellowstone Dutton ranch figured out a different strategy and maximized the Feed Store on Sunday .
The Casino was open every other hour , and when it was closed , there was a Wrangler Shootout on Avid ’ s hyperball field . This ranged from 3v3 to 5v5 matches and featured some quality matches between many ranked divisional players .
