Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball will host a three-man paintball tournament at the extreme sport company’s facility in As Matuis this Sunday.
Dubbed Speedball 3-Man Paintball Tournament, the competition will begin 9am and will have as much as 10 teams competing for the championship.
Michael Rueters, owner of the gaming facility, said the matches would have durations of seven minutes each. He said teams would be awarded points for certain objectives they achieve throughout the course of the game.
For instance, teams are given three points per survivor, seven points for eliminations, 20 points for flag captures, and 50 points and the win for raising the opposing team’s flag on the their own flagpole.
Participating teams will play four matches each with the team with the highest score after the four matches winning the tournament. In the case of a tie, both teams will play a sudden-death match to determine the winner.
Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball opened a little over a year ago. Interested parties can play seven-minute matches for $15 a game. The company is open only weekends and could also accommodate reservations.
Rueters Raiders Extreme Paintball provides the paint markers, protective goggles, and carbon dioxide canisters, to propel the paintballs, for all the participants.
Enthusiasts, however, are advised to come in proper clothing—hiking, running, or tennis shoes are ideal, since players will be doing a lot of running, and long pants to avoid getting scratches from the thick foliage.
