How to Enter a Paintball Team Tournament

Get your team organized and together to play where the real competition is.

Instructions

    • 1

      Form a paintball team (see "How to Start a Paintball Team").

    • 2

      Check the tournament listings on Internet sites (Warpig.com is a good one), and in the back of magazines ("Action Pursuit Games Magazine" lists these almost every issue).

    • 3

      Call tournament organizers of all the potential tournaments you could enter and ask questions: Where is the tournament? How much to enter? How many players per team? Are balls and air provided? When is the tournament?

    • 4

      Meet with your team and decide which tournaments you will enter. Do this far in advance of the tournament so everyone can keep their schedule clear.

    • 5

      Practice in the style of the tournament; if possible, play on the field the tournament is to be held on to familiarize yourself with the layout. Develop your strategy.

    • 6

      Buy your supplies early. Inform your sponsors that you will be representing them in the tournament.

    • 7

      Arrive at the tournament early. If you must travel far, get there the night before and camp or stay in a hotel. Get a good night's rest. Save the partying for after the tournament.

    • 8

      Show up early and figure out how the tournament works and when your games are.

    • 9

      Scout the other teams between your games.

    • 10

      Check and clean all of your equipment before each game.
