Teams consist of five (5) players plus one (1) substitute, with two unique roles on each team. The first role is that of a Scout who starts each game five (5) seconds before the other players. The second role is that of the Sniper and is the only player on their team permitted to use First Strike rounds. Regardless of position, no player is permitted to carry more than two (2) markers on the field at any time. There are no limits on the amount of paint/mags that a player may carry.
This is the second year for the MML with the league growing from five to eight teams this year. This is the first year we have split the MML into two groups to cut down on the time spent traveling between provinces. Last year’s league was won by the Nova Scotia based Wolverines. Quite possibly the loudest team in the league. Communication is key if your team is going to do well in the MML. We wanted to create an environment where players were forced to rely heavily upon their teammates if they want to succeed. You can have great players, with the best gear on the market, but if they’re not covering each other, constantly scanning the field, or effectively communicating, then a team is destined for failure. More important than any other skill a player can develop, consistent and effective communication is the one that will best serve them in a tactical series like the MML.

There are no traditions or “old schools” of thought to get caught up in with a league like the MML and we want to keep it that way. We take player feedback very seriously. Regardless of how long a rule or practice might have been around, If something no longer works with our method of running things we simply find a better way. As experienced players, we’ve seen other speedball or woodsball leagues rise and fall over the years because they refused to change. Though we agree to a final version the rules at the beginning of every
