ne one? this is sorta important i need some kind of advice -
It depends on who you are playing when you try out. If you are playing a bunch of rec players, just get out there as far as you can get. If it's another tournament team, get to a mid position, and move up. But generally, the team captain will tell you where to go. Chances are, he's going to push you to see how far you can get and not get shot. When you go, keep your head down and run as fast as you can. Keep your gun down, and just run. If you are going far up, slide in, and ball up for a few seconds. Then listen for calls, and find where people are. look out both sides of your bunker if possible.Formerly ~WarpedRT~

man, give it some time. It wasn't even posted for an hour.
Just talk with them, and they'll coach you through it. The biggest thing is communication. If you aren't talking, you're losing. Just yell everything, over and over. Where people are, who you can shoot at, when you get someone out, when one of your own team is out, just yell everything that happens on the field.Sadly the mag is gone, moved on to an LCD Trix

I tried out for a team last summer, and they told us the biggest thing they were looking for was confident, aggressive playing. The last thing they are going to want is a player hiding in a back bunker the whole game because he doesn't want to get shot. Also, communication is really important. Make sure you demonstrate how well you can play as part of a team, rather than an individual.----A.H.----Comment

Don't be afraid to make the big runs off the break. If your quick, you should be able to make it to any bunker that you choose as your primary.
Once there...RELAX!!! Take a deep breath. You don't need to come out of your bunker shooting as soon as you get there. Time and time again I've seen players make awesome runs and put themselves in a position to break the game open, but they get excited and come out to shoot way to early. Pretty soon, they're walking back to the dead box instead of winning the game.
Chances are, if you made a big run the other team is going to be freaking out about you. Keep your cool and you'll live a lot longer.
Also, I highly recommend working on snap shooting. If you don't use a Warp, then you should be practicing with both hands. The better you can get at popping out, shooting 2-3 balls, getting back in, and hitting someones hopper, foot, harness, ect. the more valuable you'll become to your team.
Hope this helps. Good luck in your future tournys!Comment

One thing, BE YOURSELF!!
The one thing we look for most when we are tryign to pick people up is, how they act with the team. If it works out, you will be spending alot of time with them, hotels and roadtrips. Only like 20-40% of the time with these guys has to do with actually playing paintball, the rest is just being with each other. And the one thing I know I hate the most is someone who is annoying, aint going to spend my time with them.
