Teams
Venue:
Saturday 19th Oct, first games register 10.15. Teams will be given a specific time slot of 2 – 2.5 hours
Open
Teams of 3 Team composition rules must be complied with eg. Only organisation/company members and their immediate families and partners are allowed to enter (NO "RING INS").
*Like golf the aim of game is to have lowest possible score and there will be no finals, winning teams are those with lowest score. *Teams will win by; collecting as many opposition flags as possible, successfully defending their own flag, hitting the opposition and getting hit as few times as possible!! *6 games per team of 10 minutes (max time 2 - 2.5 hours)
*Players DO NOT get eliminated when shot, (ie. everyone will have unlimited respawns for all the games). Instead a point is awarded to their team when a player is hit. (Marshals will be able to tell if a ball has hit a player or their equipment easily at end of each game). *There will be up to 12 teams playing at one time slot, with teams in groups of up to 6 *The first game will be a fun game to get to know the field. Where there is a business sector trophy up for grabs, teams will, where possible, play against each other in their business sector.
Points are awarded for the following:
• Your team is penalised with +1 point for every time a team member is hit.
• For every flag your team takes from the opposition and is hung on your flag poll your team will ‘score’ -10pts (deducted)
• Teams will automatically ‘score’ a further -10 points if you still have your flag at your pole at the end of the game
Equipment
Equipment provided: Marker/Gun, Cover-alls, Ammo/Paintballs, and Body Armor for Females only. Guns used will be running at low pressure of 250 feet per second outdoors, and 200 if indoors, to help eliminate the ouch factor. Special soft balls will be used. Players will be issued with a total of 300 paintballs (50 per game), and players get eliminated if they run out of paint balls
To insure fairness and safety:
• No extra Paintballs will be sold to Players/Teams.
• Only Field Markers/Guns to be used.
We recommend you: wear long trousers and long sleeve shirts/jackets for added protection.
Safety
Your safety is important to us. Paintball Games use specifically designed equipment, which makes it safer than most competitive sports. The paintballs are treated with a conditioning agent to soften the shell, thereby reducing the ouch factor.
Great spectator sport - when you are in between games, it is great to watch the action, suss out the opponents before you play them, work out their weaknesses and devise your strategy. Bring your own refreshments.
