your definition of rec ball

[paintbattler]

i call it practice

[magman007]

for me it is going out with a group of buddies (mainly my team mates) and just having a blast, just playing around and having fun, with out a care in the world (well xcept for safty)

If there's renters, it's rec ball.

[Ultimator]

Most of the time they call it "walk-on" play at the field I go to. Rec ball would probably be much more fun than a tournament. Practice would be a good word. You can see if you can sprint for the center 50 on the break or see if you can cover your teammate until he gets to the center 50 on the break. Then if you can do it flawlessly you could use it in a tournament, etc.

[Telefragged]

You could be running down a tapeline on a hyperball field or sloshing through muck in the woods, if you're only doing it for fun, I still consider it recball. Tourney play is just that, playing in tournaments, anything else, by nature, would be recball.

playing for fun

[Grumpy]

Anything that is not a tourny or sponsored event. Especially open play/ walk-on. Take the time to share your experiences with newbies and inexperienced players. Have fun!!!!!!

Recreation. People are there to have fun, maybe catch a few pointers and tips, just for a laugh.

I agree with shartley though, if you don't enjoy the game, you shouldn't be playing it. If I didn't like paintball, I wouldn't have all this gear!
