Paintball is a recreational game and an organized sport played year round, outdoors and indoors. The basic game is "capture the flag," where the object of the game is to capture the other team's flag and return it to your team's home base ("flag station") for the win-while keeping the other team from capturing your flag! Every player, and every person in or near authorized shooting areas, must wear eye protection designated for paintball, consisting of goggles and a head protection system. Each team starts from its home base when the referees call "Game on!" and advances through the playing field. Games have a time limit, usually 15 minutes. Referees start and stop the games, and enforce the safety and playing rules. Each player has a paintball marker, powered by C02 or compressed air, which shoots paintballs. Paintballs are colorful gelatin capsules like big round vitamins, filled with a bright colored, biodegradable (washable) liquid fill. The paintballs split open and leave a "splat" mark. A marked player is out of the game. The more opponents that are marked out, the easier it is to capture their flag. Who Plays Paintball? Paintball is enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
