These games can last for several days and nights. Because of this they often use what are known as "Resurrection rules". These rules dictate at what cost, time delay, or penalty players may return to the field after being eliminated. This in effect makes each team have reinforcements when they need them the most. Scenario games usually are fictitious or historic battles being played out through Paintball. They involve espionage, and multiple objectives. These games can have several armies, agents, double agents, aliens and even Dragons. Prizes are usually given to players with the best costume and other play- ers who through deceit, treachery and plain old instinct made themselves notorious on the playing field. Often in these games just as much is hap- pening off the field as on the field. Scenario games can last for several days and have thousands of players. First time players should try and attend scenario games, because they are usually relatively cheap and are fun. No longer a war-game Paintball has become a safe and exciting sport. Anyone can play and find that they will be accepted by the wide range of people who play paintball. ....WilfrJt·· tnlS TOURS ~I~~[~1-800-262-8874 OUTDOOR RECREATION CENTER (ORC located Inthe CUB Basement) http://cub.wsu.edu/orc , Hours: Beginning May 11 thru Rugust 14 Office/Rental Shop RM-4:38 PM,(M-F) Stopby CUBB- call 651for date other information. --::=-:. -=--_ - -..- -. -::... - - - .
