* New Paintball Idea! *

[Remington]

Well, I'm watching the Pats game and I came up with a new idea for paintball. It's sort of a spin-off of football and the new X-Ball format. Like football, one team would start of with the flag and they would have to start of on one side of the field. The team with the flag tries to get the flag to the opposing team's "endzone". Now, combine this with the X-ball format and you should get a reasonablly spectator friendly form of paintball.

The reason I think we need another is my dad's friend(who doesn't know much about paintball, but had played it several times a few yrs. ago) watched the World Cup on OLN and told me that it really wasn't all that interesting to watch. If you look at from a person's point of view that knows nothing about paintball, it really isn't the fun to watch. I need some suggestions on how well you guys think this format would fly with the rest of the paintball community. Also, if you have any other things you think would help the format, post it hear.

Sounds like a awsome idea but im not sure how well it would fly considering paintball is worked alot different then football but hey it sounds cool and yea if you dont no anything about paintball then it isnt fun to watch

[Remington]

Thanks spongebob. Any ideas? Oh yea . . . . . . GO PATS!

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

LOL i think you got it wrong go Steelers!!!!!

maybe make them bring it like 3/4 down, but not all the way, as that would just turn into an elimination game.

[Remington]

AND THE PATRIOTS WIN IT IN OVERTIME! WOOHOO! Oh by the way, they also scored 11 points in 97 seconds! sniper1rfa, I forgot to mention that the game would be played on a field roughly the size of a football field with 11 or 12 players on the field at a time(like football). That way, there is more room for a player or players to run to the "endzone" and score. There would also be more bunkers but instead of being set-up in staggered positions on the field they would be placed . . . well, I'll just make a Paint picture and post it.

PATS RULE I JUST SAW THAT GAME!!! And hey, maybe you should start it sometime just send me a PM, I might be able to bring some friends




DOLPHINS AND RICKY WILLIAMS CAN GO HOME AND CRY, lets pray the packers WIN!

[Remington]

Well, as you can probably see I'm not awesome at paint but here's the general field set-up(not entirely different from a paintball field). Instead of the teams just sitting at bunkers shooting at each other, the players on the opposing team have to try and tag the flag carrier. When the carrier gets tagged, instead of going to the dead box, the flag is placed at that particular spot on the field. I don't know much about football but this game will incorporate downs, possession and penalties like in football. Anyway. Tell me what you think and post some ideas! B.C if we can get a big enough field to use I'd be happy to try it out, I just can't think of anywhere we could set it up without running into lots of fees for renting out a field all day.

What a bunch of crap. my dolphins had it in the bag. Now i have to hope that the PACKERs of all teams win so we can make the playoffs. its stupid when i want the packers to lose they win and when i want them to win (today) they are losing. they better come back. Either way i dont think the dolphins or the pats will go very far. O yeah about your idea i have no idea how that would work. It might be okay but as of right now it just seems kinda unorderly. Good luck with it though.

[Vash02]

O and as for B.C. who says ricky should go home and cry...the Packers WILL win other wise the pats dont make it either and assuming the packers do win i can feel that our teams will meet again and this time ricky will finish em off!!
GO DOLPHINS !!!

too bad the eagles are goin to take the cake this year....

[joeyjoe367]

THis would actually make for a pretty watchable format... Interesting...

One of the better Idea's I've seen in a while.

hey, you know those ref shields? We should have people using those as linemen. They maybe could carry a light marker like a pt extreme or something. They could make formations and stuff to plow through the field!

[�.C.]

oh yea and there should be other methods of scoring like extra points, field goals, and 2 point conversions in football. Maybe there could be multiple flags Or for a field goal maybe there could be something large and light thrown into the air and each team would shoot at it to try to get it somewhere within a certain amount of time, it wouldn't stay in the air though you could still shoot at it when it hits the ground! c'mon guys think! I think this might go somewhere

[Remington]

I KNOW! For a field goal type thing we could have one guy shoot at a target on the other side of the endzone, like a free-throw in basketball. As for the linebacker thing, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have the shields because then you could just give the flag to that guy and he wouldn't get tagged, but ya never know. UP!
