Centre flag / Speed ball

Game overview

The game starts with two teams on opposite sides of the paintball field and a flag in the centre of the field. The goal of the game is to reach the middle of the field and retrieve the flag and either return it to your team’s base or get it to the opposing teams’ base. This game is extremely fast paced and is great fun.

Strategy

To save on paintballs it is suggested to have a strategy before the game starts. At the beginning of the game make sure to run as fast as possible towards the middle of the field to secure a good position. If a player has managed to secure a good position close to the flag the other members of the team should provide cover fire to suppress the opposing team. This will give the player closest to the flag a good opportunity to run up to the flag and capture it.
