CQC Competitions are far from paintball style scenarios, Cyclopse. They are competition style events. So no actual force on force, The Opfor is made up of an actor base and the missions are more tracked. The admins judge the teams on their abilities to complete the missions, the time they take doing so and they generally use Law Enforcement ROE's to set a bar, and many of the SOP's. A single team is tracked through their mission. Then the mission is reset and the next team gives it a go, each team is given a score and the final team with the highest score wins. It's a very different style of play, but one that was pretty popular back in the day. A lot of teams did intense training to get and keep their CQC skills above average.
Like Junto said the biggest factor in CQC style competitions is a location. But another big factor is an event host that has the ability to draw the size audience needed to complete such and undertaking. At CQC7 there were 3 separate missions, each mission ran at the same time, which means you need a facility large enough to house 3 missions and enough opfor to act out 3 missions at simultaneously. Then they tracked something like 7 separate teams through the missions. That's a lot of work and a lot of staff.
In response to you initial question however there are some other factors that must be addressed. Airsoft Pacific, the AP website itself never ran a CQC event. APST, Airsoft Pacific Strike Team (the team that AP was originally named after) ran most of the CQC events in the area. This means that although AP is making a come back, most of the old players from APST are no longer part of the active community and no longer host events. This means most of their knowledge on how to run this type of event is gone and the hosts we have left would be starting from square one to build that style of event back up to what it once was. Is it doable? YES! Are we working one it? YES! but it's still a while out.
Furthermore those teams that did all the training for the competitions they have no where to train any more, so we are left with teams that don't have training and a dwindling dedicated player base. it's gonna be a long road.
But on that note, I have been in discussion with OAA talking about the possibility of doing a Pistol training course, Rifle training course, and a few CQC style training events at their facility. If there was enough interest I haven't pulled the trigger yet, because i hadn't spoken with people to see if there was any interest. So is there?
We do what we want
