Paintball Basics
Paintball is a safe, simple yet challenging and strategic sport that is played
usually by two teams, each with at least two players. Adults and kids alike
enjoy this sport as they often refer to it as an advanced or improvised game of
tag.
Tournaments attract many spectators of all ages, as it is a very exciting game
to watch.
Paintball games are of various types, however, the most popular game often
played is called "capture the flag". The object or the goal of this game is for
teams to advance to the opponent’s base, move the other team’s flag to its
destined location, at the same time guarding your own flag.
The paintball field has many obstacles such as tires, forts, old cars, hay and
the newest are “inflatables” that are constructed as refuge for team players;
making the game all the more exciting, as if participating in an actual game of
war in videos.
When one is hit, it can hurt briefly and at times give players bruises. Players
are typically required to be in long sleeves shirt and pants, making sure that
the color is not be identical as that of the judge and complete paintball gear
such as mask, helmet and goggles for safety.
The sport of paintball has a distinct and accurate set of rules that are
strictly followed. The producer of the tournament is the absolute authority in
regard to either an alteration or addition to the rules; marshals oversee the
event, and their decision is always final. No dispute on the paintball field is
accommodated or entertained.
A military approach to paintball is useless, as that knowledge is recognized and
understood by the teams. A team’s tactic should be carefully planned; your
team’s line of attack will not be known by the opposing team, and there should
be a quick switch of plans in case something goes wrong.
There must be a lot of team work involved, as everyone moves through the field.
As a team member moves, there should be others to guard and keep watch and give
off covering shots when necessary. A team that moves together with a common
objective will have a great chance of succeeding in this game.
Communication in the field is also very important. A team-mate can shout the
position of the opponent. The moment that a player is seen, the game for that
player is up; so there is no reason for you to keep quite; instead, inform the
others the location of the enemy.
The excitement of this game concludes when you are seen and eliminated - a
situation that all team players struggle to avoid.
