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 opponents base,
move the other teams 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 teams tactic should be
carefully planned; your teams 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.
