Woodsball tournaments were a big part of paintball in the 80's and 90's. When speedball came in woodsball tournaments died.
Over the past few years people have tried to run scenario woodsball tournaments but I think most players just want it simple. Go kick the other teams *** and bring back their flag.
Over my 24 years of playing I can not tell you enough how much I learned from playing in tournaments!
3 man Tournaments put you under presser as if your the last 3 players left on your team and you have 5 minute before the game ends. What are you going to do? Run and dig in or make a plan and attack.
Woodsball tournaments help with communication. How to communicate to teammates over large distances in code with out the other team knowing what your talking about.
I sometimes wonder if most players today are scared of their teammates seeing how good or not so good they are when the win of the game is up to just them.
I always look at my team and judge everyone on it with only one question! If everyone else on my team was eliminated which players could win the game by them selfs? 1 on 1, 1 on 2 and 1 on 3!? On most ten man teams there may be only 3 to 4 players that can do that.
Tournaments help teach players how to step up THEIR game! To many players are only good in mobs/groups.
OK I will stop ranting.
