That's great news about different rooms available.
Are these reservations handled by CMP or is it done through base personnel?

You'll reserve the room when you register and pay for the matches with CMP, but you'll pay for the room at the base when you get there. That's where you can see what types of rooms are available

Craftsman,thanks for that info.

Glad I checked the Competition Tracker today, registration opened on May 1 for the 2017 New England Games, I thought it wouldn't open for another month or 2. Some of the GSM match relays are already booked full.
The final match schedule is a little different than the original draft. The first GSM match is on Wednsday, instead of Thursday, at 3:30 p.m., after the SAFS class and match. There's no GSM matches on Thursday, only the EIC match, so I'll be doing that one too. You can sign up for what relay's you want and the match time, as they're using the electronic targets and setting time for blocks of 2 relays to shoot. I'll be shooting 7 matches in 4 days including the SAFS EIC, the full course EIC, 4 GSM matches and the carbine match. Man I can hardly wait, had a blast last year. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones.

Fresh off the Eastern Games, I'm signed up for the EIC match Thurs and 4xGSM Fri/Sat. I think some of the later relays aren't full, but are being held in reserve depending on how many participants sign up. Can't wait. The electronic scoring really speeds things up. Looking forward to the 4 hour drive versus the 13 too.

Thank you, very nice indeed! This is an extremely well run match series, and the folks with the Vermont State Rifle Assoc. and the Camp Ethan Allan Base, along with the CMP staff are awesome. I'm counting the days till the 2017 NE Games!

Last year was fantastic, and I could only shoot .223 due to shoulder surgery. Looking forward to shooting 4 GSM's this time. Electronic scoring should really speed up the relays.

Does anyone know if to shoot the 4-gun aggregate, is it OK to shoot 2 matches on Friday and 2 matches on Saturday? The registration states 1 on Wednesday, 1 on Friday, and 2 on Saturday for the 4-gun aggregate. I'd prefer to arrive Wed evening, shoot EIC on Thurs, and the GSM's on Fri-Sat.
