Woodsball - using the woods, playing in the woods, THE WOODS.

I here of all the woodsball coureses with cars, people nailing things into trees, crates, and such all polluting the woods. Try woodsball like it is supposed to be. No bunkers or cars, the woods, nothing else crawl threw a cold running stream, let the birds warn you of on coming foes. You can stack logs and rocks but if your takeing thinks like tires and such, its not woodsball, its junkyard ball. Lets get back to woodsball it is the core and most important part of paintball(unless ur a tory player i understand). Please keep the woodsball clean of all these obstructions, let it be woodsball. Am I right let me know

 Thank You Justin

Live on snipers. Give a shout out to the guy in the bush right now, and all of our soilders overseas.

^^^that happened to me to

I think as long as you take it out thair and bring it back its ok

I think as long as you are playing, it doesn't matter what kind. Just get out there and play.

Why do you care about how other people like to play? And about calling it woods ball, its just a name, why do we call football football, most of the time they are throwing the ball, not kicking it, so using your logic we should change the name to hand ball so we can be more correct. My point is that no one cares what the game is called, its just a name, so stop getting so worked up about it and go play Paintball how ever you want to.

a bit harsh but well sated!!!

I'm with him!!!!

I agree with TippmannEFX its not woodsball if your using things that  would not be there without people bringing them in.

MT. Vigilante
maybe he cares about how some people drag crap out into the woods and then end up leaving it there to be someone elses problem. I'm not saying that everyone does it but there are some that do. As far as your compairson of woodsball and football, thats like comparing apples and oranges. Can't you just let a guy make a point without flaming.

some of out playing fields don't have the most extensive natural cover.  so we are forced to add some.  as long as it can be removed, and isn't an eyesore its all good.

Umm... that looked like it took way too much effort there... I don't think that he was "getting so worked up about it" as much as he was stating his opinion. I took it to be more of a cry out for people to get back to the roots of the game, and to stop trying to "improve" it. Lots of people don't like the direction that paintball has started to go in. Don't get me wrong, lots do like this current direction - but remember that the guy who won the first game ever, didn't fire a single ball. Using your "football" logic was a weak try there. We are the only country to call that game by that name. So lets all go play some "gelatin capsule game" and enjoy it! (Please don't take this as an attack on you per se. I have been awake for coming on 30 straight hours, and meant it as more of a fun poking at you, in a playful way - not an attack.)

No offense taken, and to all those that said I was flaming the guy, I did not mean to sound like that. I was simply trying to make a point that people get all worked up and angry about small things that don’t matter. As for the football thing, I was not comparing paintball to football, I was only using football as an example of naming something that doesn’t make sense when you think about how its played, and how people don’t care what you call it. Last of all, about us being the only country to call football that, we are also the only country to play it ( Canada does not count because they copied us and just added a few yards to the field) and our football is way older than Soccer.

Well I have to be truthful, I am not to sure that Football is older than soccer but I do know that football was invented around the 1850’s and I don’t think that soccer was invented until the 1880’s or 90’s.

I play real woodsball all natural thats the way it should be just arrange some dead trees and make a bunker type thing.  I mean when you add the bunkers and stuff it is speedball which is suppose to be in a open field. so im with tippmannexx

I’m not trying to flame you or criticize your opinion, so please don’t take this that way, but when you build bunkers and put them in the woods it is far from speedball. Also, how is building bunkers out of non-natural materials and putting them in the woods any different than building the bunkers out of logs and brush? A bunker is a bunker no matter what you build it out of, they all do the same thing and just as well to, and they don’t change how the game is played either, only where you play the game, in an open field or in the woods, changes that and not what you make the bunkers out of.

Layman wrote: Actually... (History of Paintball Lesson 1.)      What was described above is not only "like" speedball, but is the root for the Sup'Air games most of us younger players know of. When paintball was invented, it was purely a wooded format. There were several flags and the game was "all for yourself". As the times went on, paintball developed into team games. That gave way to speedball. Speedball was a wooded game format using the natural surroundings, and man made bunkers. The first World Cups were played by teams in the woods. The open arena format was to make the game more spectator fiendly. In the woods a watcher would be lucky to see the players (who wore camoflauge mainly ). Now, we can see the entire game play out from any where near the field. That's what I've learned, in a nutshell.

You are correct as to the origins of speedball, however, you must agree that woodsball and speedball are two completely different games, and just cause you put bunkers in the woods it is not speedball.
