INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS

7 players per team (5 on the field for each point and 2 reserves).
This new and dynamic format has been created by taking the best features from all previous competition formats to produce a format that is exciting for both players to play and for spectators to watch.

The main considerations were demands by the players for a format both more exciting and still economical and even more importantly to develop a format which can be played throughout the world as an industry standard from Asia to America.

Teams must eliminate the opposing players so they can make their way up to the opposite starting gate to press a game buzzer and score their team 1 point. As soon as the buzzer is pressed, the match timer stops, and a 2-minute countdown starts automatically. Players have only two minutes to clean themselves down of any old hits, re-gas their paintball gun, reload and race back out to their start gate ready to play. Competitors who fail to be touching their start game when the game buzzer restarts the game are automatically eliminated.

First team to score the right number of points above the other wins the game. For example, in the Professional and Semi-Pro divisions with a 6-point submission, team “A” would win the match if they scored 4 unanswered points to team “B”.

Example

Team A – 6 points/ Team B – 0 points = Team A wins
Team A – 7 points/ Team B – 1 points = Team A wins
Team A – 8 points/ Team B – 2 points = Team A wins

And the game is over.
If neither team has scored enough to end the match. The game will continue until the full 10 minutes of game time has expired. At the end of 15 minutes, whichever team has the highest score wins.

Each match is referred to as the “Race 2” format.
