Frequently Asked Paintball Questions
How do you play? Paintball has many variations. Usually the game is a variation of Capture the Flag. Players carry paintball guns that shoot small balls of non-toxic paint at one another. Two or more teams will compete to capture and move a flag to another locations. Opponents are eliminated from play when they are hit by a paintball that breaks on them. The players that are eliminated are required to exit the game and must wait until the next game begins to return to play. Games typically last 10 to 20 minutes. Teams often will change and the referee may make adjustments in order that all player will have the opportunity to play on a winning team. Boundaries, starting points, and goals are likely to change from game to game to keep things interesting.
Is paintball safe? Paintball has an excellent safety record when played in a controlled environment. Our safety trained staff at Camp Dakota will explain all of the necessary safety rules to each player before he/she is allowed on the field. Then a referee will monitor the game to ensure all of the rules are followed properly. Each paintball gun is tested with a chronograph each time the player enters the field.
