Who
Can Play?
Just about anyone can play. You don't have
to be an adrenalin junkie or "Rambo"
type character to play. There are all types
of players in Paintball and it is not just
a man's sport either. Women can, and do, play
equally and frequently better than men. You
must be 10 years or older to play. If you
enjoy lots of action and making new friends,
come to Paintball Bali for an exciting day
of adventure. Entering our Park at Paintball
Bali is like stepping into a different world
and we welcome everyone to come experience
our motto of "5luxury 10fun" firsthand.
At
Paintball Bali, the games are played in a
park-like atmosphere on 3 separate independently
themed courses. All games are controlled by
our experienced referees to insure players
safety and fair play. All the amenities, equipment
and supplies are on site for a complete day
and package of fun and excitement. Just be
sure to wear some comfortable shoes (running
or athletic type) and clothes (shorts &
t-shirt best).
What
is Paintball?
In 15 short years, the sport of paintball
has become recognized as one of the world's
most exciting outdoor participation sports.
Paintball is played in over 40 countries by
millions of men and women of all ages and
lifestyles. Whether homemakers or high-school
students, professionals or retirees, all paintball
players share in common a love for adventure
and a strong competitive spirit.
Capture
the Flag
Paintball is a combination of the childhood
games "tag" and "hide &
seek," but is much more challenging and
sophisticated. Although there are many different
game formats, typically a group of players
will divide into two teams to play "capture
the flag." The number of players on each
team can vary from one or two, five or seven
or ten or even up to a 100 players in the
case of Paintball Bali's field. The object
of the game is to go out and capture the center
flag and bring it back to your opponent's
starting point. While you are trying to capture
the flag, you also try to eliminate opposing
players by tagging them with a paintball expelled
from a special airgun called a "paintgun."
Games run from 20 to 45 minutes, depending
on which of the three fields are used at Paintball
Bali and the number of players playing. Between
games, players take a break to get more paintballs
and have a snack or a drink while they share
stories about the thrills of victory and the
usually funny agonies of defeat. Win or lose,
everyone has a good time and there's usually
the next game waiting for you.
Paintballs
A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin
capsule with colored liquid inside it. Paintballs
are similar to large round vitamin capsules
or bath oil beads. The fill inside paintballs
is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluable
and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing
and off skin with mild soap and water. When
a paintball tags a player, the thin gelatin
skin splits open, and the liquid inside leaves
a bright "paint" mark. A player
who is marked is eliminated from the game.
Paintguns
Paintguns, also called "markers,"
come in a variety of shapes and styles (click
here for GTF information). The GTFs used have
power systems that use large refillable cylinders
called "tanks" or "bottles"
that give hundreds of shots before needing
to be refilled. With our semi-automatic GTF
paintguns, the first time you want to shoot
you must cock the paintgun (usually by pulling
back a cocking knob or handle), but after
you shoot the first paintball the paintgun's
action will recock the paintgun for you; you
simply squeeze the trigger each time you want
to shoot a paintball. The international safety
limit on the speed (measured in feet per second,
"FPS") at which a paintgun shoots
a paintball is 300 fps. Paintball Bali adheres
to this standard. We use a chronograph to
test for speed limits, and all paintguns can
be adjusted to shoot under the speed limit.
A paintgun's range is limited, too; even shooting
300 fps, at maximum elevation with barrel
pointed up into the air, a paintgun can lob
a paintball only about 50 yards.

Safety
For safety, paintball players always must
wear goggles specifically designed for paintball
to protect their eyes. Goggles must be worn
during a game and at all times when a person
is in an area where shooting is permitted,
such as the target range or chronograph area.
A protective facemask is mandatory nearly
everywhere, and should be worn regardless.
Paintball is a very safe sport as long as
safety rules are followed. Insurance statistics
have shown that paintball is safer than golf,
jogging, tennis, swimming and many other sports.
Paintball Bali referees are primarily on the
field to enforce safety and game rules. No
physical contact is permitted in the game,
and players are ejected from games or the
playsite for breaking safety or playing rules.
Fields have boundaries, and a player who steps
outside a field's boundary is eliminated from
that game.
The
Game
Paintball is a sport played by people from
all professions and lifestyles. It is a sport
where women and men compete equally, and where
age is not dominated by youth. Like a game
of chess, being able to think quickly and
decisively is what makes you a star in paintball.
Intelligence and determination, not merely
strength, speed or agility, are key to success
in the sport. Paintball is a character-building
sport. Players learn about teamwork, gain
self-confidence and develop leadership abilities
while having fun and getting welcome stress-relief.
Increasingly, corporations are finding the
benefits of having their staff and management
participate in paintball games. Paintball
is an exciting sport, and above all paintball
is fun! It's a chance to shake off your day-to-day
responsibilities and rekindle your spirit
of adventure. When the adrenaline starts pumping,
you can't help but love the thrill of the
game!
