| Hi, I am not very new to paintball but was wondering if any one could tell me what a ringer is. I read that someone was thrown from a game for ringers or they won because they had ringers... What is a ringer??? |

A ringer is when a amatuer team brings in a pro to play with them. It is not unique to paintball, happens in all sports. In most amatuer sports, it is illegal for a pro (paid player) to participate. ------------- United States Marine Corps.... When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight!
