Let's get started!
Paintball Tournaments
3 vs 3 Format
If you have looked into tournament paintball, most starter and beginner leagues start out in a 3 players vs 3 players format. This is this most basic format nearly all long time players started playing. On a 3 man tournament team you are able to have up to 5 players on your roster while only 3 players can walk onto the field at one time to play.
5 vs 5 Format
The next level up and the most common format is 5 players vs 5 players. This roster can have up to 7 or 9 players depending on the league you are participating in. This format up to 5 players can play on the field at a time per team while you have extras when others get tired.
Player Ranking
The tournaments around the world use an ID number to track each players progress. This ID number helps prevent players from a higher level competing at the lower levels which would make it very unfair and unenjoyable for beginner paintball players. To create a player ID number is free, just visit https://pbleagues.com/ to get started and to learn more about the tournaments in your area.
