Posted on Mar 11 2005
The third installment of the Speedball 3-Man Paintball Tournament will unfold tomorrow, March 13, as Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball is expected to host another 10 teams at the extreme sport company’s facility in As Matuis.
Owner Norma Rueters said she already received confirmation from at least five teams that will participate in the paintball competition.
The teams that have so far signed up for the “War Games” are Recon, Ballers, SS Ghost Co., Xecutioners, and Target. Rueters said five other unnamed teams have also indicated their interest and will show up on game day itself.
Like last month and January’s inaugural tournament, matches would have durations of seven minutes each. Teams would be awarded points for certain objectives they achieve throughout the course of the game.
For instance, teams are given three points per survivor, seven points for eliminations, 20 points for flag captures, and 50 points and the win for raising the opposing team’s flag on their own flagpole.
Participating teams will play four matches each with the team with the highest score after the four matches winning the tournament. In the case of a tie, both teams will play a sudden-death match to determine the winner.
Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball provides the paint markers, protective goggles, and carbon dioxide canisters, to propel the paintballs, for a fee for all the participants.
Interested parties can play seven-minute matches for $10 a game if a team has equipment.
But unlike the previous two events, Rueters said her company would now be charging $10 for the use of the paint markers, $6.50 for every 100 rounds of paintball, and a $5 one-time fee for the CO2 canisters.
Participants are advised to come in proper clothing—hiking, running, or tennis shoes are ideal—since players will be doing a lot of running, and long pants—to avoid getting scratches from the thick foliage.
Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball opened a little over a year ago. The company is open only on weekends and could also accommodate reservations.
