I used to play competitively... Played once in the world championships in Orlando (we got our asses kicked).

Fun sport, I still have all my gear and play a half a dozen times a year for old times sake, but nothing serious anymore. Cost to much (I was dropping 10k a year on it).

Thats pretty cool, in championships how does it work? is it last one standing or what? and do you wear any special pads or something like the marshals do?

 

They have 5 man, 7 man, and 10 man teams. Each player has a set position (front, middle, back). The back guy is kind of like the general. He directs where everyone else moves. When he says go, you go. I was a front guy. The goal is to pull the flag in the middle of the field, and hang in on your opponents starting position. Usually, you just shoot everyone on the other team out, and then hang the fag.

Here is a video of the kind of action that takes place.
