The SuperGame format takes place over three days and has a variety of different offerings that appeal to nearly every different niche. Friday kicked off the weekend with the unique “Spoils of War” format. During this two hour game each team attacked a base in an effort to raise their flag in the center. For 30 seconds, once the flag had been pulled, as many players as possible packed into the center of the base. Once the time ended, the base was flagged as neutral and unable to be fired upon while the referees counted the players and awarded treasure (beads) to the players inside. With several bases scattered around the field, this led to some pretty exciting firefights and quite a bit of back and forth. Players then turned their beads in for points and additional raffle tickets. A severe thunderstorm rolled in shortly after the Spoils of War game concluded, forcing the event to move several planned activities to later in the weekend. With slightly better weather on Saturday, the Traditional SuperGame began. Each hour the objective base rotated according to a posted schedule. The final 10 to 15 minutes of each hour saw a spike in the intensity of each engagement, as each side struggled to pull the flag inside the targeted fort to their faction’s color. The Red and Blue army battled it out all day, with the White army coming to the aid of the Blue army for much of the morning. With both factions managing to capture three objectives each, the score was virtually tied at the conclusion of that portion of the gameplay. www.paintball.media 113
