I've though about this for several years as well. I've always loved
scenario play but its just not intense enough, I hate bang out rules, and
can't stand shooting at 280fps, always wanted to play a scenario tournament
type thing.

how are you gonna run 3-4 fields at once? how are you gonna make sure the
fields are evenly balanced... its hard to find symmetrical woods.

you could possibly build structures that mirrored eachother....

That seems doable and interesting enough to me. I'm as far from a
senario player as one could be.

Easy enough. Though the missions would need to be easy enough to
complete quickly. I'm guessing you don't want this thing to be a 24hr
event.

Ehh...this is where I lose my interest in senario games. My advice:
Leave the cheesy props out of it. Possibly making these games a "raid
an entrenched enemy" and "plant the explosive device on said target"
Then "make it back to the starting zone" would be easier?

Your biggest sponsors will be mainstream paintball companies.

No way....the biggest joke about senario play is the incredible
cheating that goes on. Everyone bitches and complains about us
tournament players doing it. No one ever mentions the senario/big game
players. Where there is what 1 ref per 20 or 30 players? Think about
it. Senario play usually uses the element of surprise in much of its
daily doings? Correct? Well...how can a ref stay on top of the action
without giving away positions. I'm guessing since experienced
tournament players will try and use refs to locate an unseen opposing
player that good senario players do the same?

I would have 2 teams competing at once. 1 team is the entrenched team
defending and the other team attacking. 15 man rosters would allow for
a "bigger" game feel but managed much easier by the refs. I'm guessing
you'd want 10 to 15 refs? If the event was large enough I'd leave it
at each team getting 2 chances at each. Say 20 minute games?

I'd rotate the teams around as well....after the first match I
wouldn't have them just flip sides. Run it as a tournament, 2 new
squads coming in. Teams would play each other during the day.

I'd be very interested in something like this if the "cheeze" was left
out. Keeping it as simple as possible. Attack and defend. Allowing
only 2 teams playing at once keeps it simple for you.

Can't agree more, after reffing many scenario games cheatings is worse than
tourneys but no one sees it so I guess it's all good

Wouldnt believe what I see


-Bob

You'll love my plan then. I'm not going to limit the teams to some wimpy 280
fps. I'm going to let them go clear to 300 fps!
Sorry, but the idea is for a fun event. Can't skimp on safety.

What are you talking about? Evenly balanced? This is a SCENARIO game! There
will be a different objectives at each field. One team will defend, while
the other attacks (depending on the scenario). The idea is to get the teams
thinking strategically. Every team will play every field both offensively
and defensively.
I'm thinking about things like ... Taking out a machine gun nest, or
destroying a bridge. I've even got an idea for an obstacle course that must
be run while under fire.
