Expert Meet Preparation Tips
After playing paintball for a while, your skills will become honed and you will start wondering just how good you really are. This is when most paintballers start craving real competition, wanting more than recreational gaming in the field behind your house. Tournament play is a great way to test your skills and step your game up a bit. Paintball tournaments add more fun, but also an element of nervousness and anxiety. Most of the nerves associated with your first competition can be calmed by proper planning and knowing what to expect ahead of time.
Much anxiety and first competition jitters can be alleviated by knowing what to expect and how a competition runs before going. A good way to learn this is to simply go to a few tournaments to watch. First go as a spectator to get the general feel of what the competitors look like, what to wear and how a match goes. Then try to get a bit closer to the action by going with a friend who's actually competing. See if he will let you ‘back stage' to see the staging area, where you put your gear and what kinds of activities a competitor must go through to play. Try to do this on several occasions to become more comfortable with how things work before you sign up for your first competition.
One of the first things to consider is the logistics of the meet. Be sure you and every member of your team are aware of where the tournament is, transportation arrangements and how much entry fees are. An average cost for entry fees is $150-200, plus the cost for paint—about $60-70 per case. Even though the back players use more ammunition than the front players, everyone should chip in. On average, a 5 man team can use up to 5-7 cases per event and that should be a shared expense. There will be differences in costs depending on the even, however these figures are fairly representative.
You will also need to be familiar with the format of the competition. Is the competition the standard 3-man or 5-man event? How many alternate players are allowed/required? What style of play is to be expected, Speedball or Woodsball? Will you be staying the night and require camping equipment? The answers to these questions must be known and arranged for ahead of time.
The night before the event, be sure to get plenty of sleep. There is an unwritten rule about handling paintball gear the night before a competition! Try to make any necessary adjustments at least 1-2 weeks beforehand, to give you a chance to practice with the new settings. Don't make any last minutes changes to your paintball gear directly before a competition; have your equipment dialed in exactly how you want it way before this. Plan to get up 30 minutes earlier than you should to allow extra time for breakfast, packing your gear and a few more minutes for travel if needed.
Once you arrive at the event site, try to find what field you'll be playing on as quickly as possible. As soon as you know, have part of your team claim their staging area by depositing your paintball equipment on the site. Have a few players from your team stay with all your gear at all times; paintball guns are expensive shouldn't be left unattended to tempt a potential thief.
While part of the team is claiming the field, the others, including the captain, should be registering and completing waivers and paperwork. When this chore is done, the captain will be handed your schedule of when and where you'll be playing. Once you have this information, scout out the field with the entire team. Determine the lay of the land and bunker positions and adjust your strategy as necessary. The captain should gather the team and reconnoiter - making sure everyone knows the game plan - positions, roles & responsibilities. Make any last minute changes to your paintball marker and equipment if you must to match any last minute strategic updates.
While you're tuning up your paintball gear, the captain will be attending the Captain's Meeting. This is a very important responsibility of the captain, one that can't be missed. Tournament rules and guidelines like beginning and ending times, point system/scoring and other necessary information is communicated here. The starting call or signal to begin will be announced and you will take your places on the field. The Head Referee usually calls out, "3, 2, 1, ten seconds." The game can begin any time in the next 10 seconds when the Head Referee calls out, "Go." Although it's a bit nerve-racking, this method prevents most false starts.
You will find the action must faster and more aggressive than on the practice field; it will only take you a couple matches to get used to it! Be prepared for your first competition by knowing what to expect before you go. Start out by being a silent observer in the stands; then become a shadow of one of your competing friends. Pay careful attention to your paintball gear preparation the night before and directly before the action. There's no avoiding a few nerves for your first meet, but it won't be long before you're doing the victory dance and offering expert advice to first time players!

I want to buy a paintball/ bb gun when I turn 18.....?
would i have to sign paper work or get some sort of licensing for it? And also, do I have to have a clean back round to buy one. Or could I just go to the store, get one, show my ID, and pay it, and leave?
Well where I live (Massachusetts) all you have to be is 18 or have an adult buy you the marker. You can use it in your backyard, but you might want to be carefull around neighbors that don't like you because they might be able to get you on disturbing the peace. No playing paintball in some random back woods. You need to play at a legal field. BB guns are not my expertise but I am sure they would have the same rules. Hope this helped. Again the law changes in different places.
