We are doing a project in Algebra 2 with histograms nad box and whisker charts, and I need to collect some data.

So how much paint do you shoot in a day?

In terms of cases and number of balls.

I figure I shoot about a case (2000) and 2(140) pods or so. (Leftovers and/or sponging off other teammates)

At a 5 man tourney, I was told that our back players will shoot 5-7 pods a game. (140rd pods and a HALO w/ Warp.)

On an average rec day, 1000-1200 rounds.

For tournies, alot of it depends upon how far your team makes it and the format. Playing 10 man it was easy to burn through 3-4 cases a day in prelims, a few more cases in through the finals.

Only play tourney. I play back on a 7 man team. In practice I will shot 5-7 cases a day.

In a tourney say the prelims are 8 games I will average 5-8 pods of 140 plus my hopper (180) if he make if further that that the average per game remains the same.

I do my best to keep it down to 2000 (a case). I'm going to start playing way up in front to cut that down some.

I usually use 1000 pb's.

It would make me nervous to do statistical analysis of this data (IE all the responses) because they (the reponses of the members of AO who choose to respond) are not randomly chosen from either the population of paintballers or AO'ers. Should be fine just to generate data to graph, though. Pardon my insanity, but I've been conditioned by my stats class to despise that which is not random.

I usualy only play for about 4 hours and shoot about 500 balls when I play recball because the only place near my house Sgt. Splatters charges 15bucks a 100 on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. So I can only afford to go on weekdays because it is only 7.50 a 100 form 12-4. last time I only shot 300.

Normal day at the home field (where I spend most of the day reffing) about 1000-1500 rounds. At the Dallas AO Meet, I spent about 3500 rounds...:D
