I just saw the movie "Failure to Launch" and there is a scene where on an X-ball game they hit the big X and take it down. Then they use smoke bombs and hide by the X (now in the floor). My question is: Is all of this legal in speed-ball?

well, taking in count that it is hollywood and that they even used masks is a hudge bonus. It would be great to have some kind of weekly show about paintball on ESPN or whatever though.
