on a similar note, in my tournie series, any attempt to modify a bunker(jumping over it and pushing it, pushing it down, slamming), is illegal and results in a loss of player

I've had similar experiences with tourney rules. If you even tried to push or deform the bunker (airball field) to get a shot you'd be called out.

On a personal note, I'd really like to see someone try to knock over a bunker at the field I play at. The bunkers that are tubes are staked into the ground with big contractor-grade steel stakes, and the other barriers are huge hundreds-of-pounds-each tractor tires. You're gonna end up with a hernia!

Heh, diving face first into a hardened bunker is not the brightest thing to do, try sliding in feet first next time

Yeah, I drop to me knees lean back and slide in still blazing. I ususally try to angle the slide so I can just lean forward and snap shoot around the corner. Totally read the angle wrong, slid past the first bunker entirely (it was raining and on grass) and kept sliding straight into the other. Wish it was on video bet my back guy was laughin so hard he was cryin.

I like the inflatable field idea. Especially since it's so hard to run on those things. Imagine if everyone was tied to a bungie cord, which would reach almost halfway, and everyone wore velcro suits and there were patches of velcro to get stuck on. That would be awesome! Or you could do it with a wet floor. Or strips of netting hanging from the ceiling, then you could see where everyone was!

heheh you could just do a one on one. Beyond the thunderdome paintball game!

uh at the last local 3 man event we were on ultimate air fields and at the captains meeting the said they were allowing "marshmallowing" which is the act of pushing one side of a bunker to force a player on the other side out! it was crazy! i saw it happen once on the 50 flag bunker it was hilarious! but i'd never heard of that before until then, i dunno if it is allowed newhere else because i've never seen it before

Yep marshmellowing/slamming same thing.

The first day we played on a field that we made at our cabin, one of my friends was behind this screen/barrel bunker. I was playin back and I was posted on somebody and all of a sudden his bunker just fell apart. It was pretty funny.

Yeah I was behind an old, rotting piece of plywood once. Had two guys on me just raining paint on my bunker. One of em started hammering the edge and started chiping away at the wood! Sucked. Just sat there trying to snap shoot but angles kept changing because the bunker was getting smaller and holes were popping up all over. Finally just dove out into the open when the closer guy was reloading and popped him. Then proceeded to get lit up by the other guy. At least I made it 1 for 1 though.

the feild i play at they are in a residental area, so they have different resrtictions, so you can't bunker some 1 in teh traditional manner, bunkering is done by running up and slapping hte bunker they're behind, some people do kinda jump kick them, but they yell at you if they do so much as toppel a little, it's actually kinda good, you don't have to expose yourself to them, just take cover behind it and yell you're out. seem to remember a time when i saw some 1 running towards me to bunker me, i just ran to the next bunker over, he didn't see me, and when he looked and saw i was gone, but not walking off the feild, he got a mask full of paint

on a side note, you know how hard it is to try to catch a bunker that's falling over holding a gun in your hand?

well this happened at a field(during a tourney) that had the older sup air(all connected with black hoses). Well a teammate was in one of those stand up rockets when suddenly it started to lean over and deflate. Look over and the REF is STADNING on the inflate hose. Chalk it up to inexperience? Well thats what the refs claimed. Now this wasn't just some novice team reffing. I've gone to PB stores as far away as TX and when talking with the peeps there they always ask if we practice with this particular team, and my response is always a hell no. Not going to mention the teams name though if I did, a lot of people would say well ya that makes sense.
