Field types
Articles containing information regarding Field types
- Airball Field
Airball fields are competitive layouts built entirely from inflatable bunkers arranged on turf or grass. They are the standardized field type for professional and amateur speedball events worldwide.
- Field Maintenance and Setup
Field maintenance ensures consistent gameplay quality, safe operating conditions, and the long term durability of surfaces, bunkers, netting, and infrastructure. Proper upkeep is essential for field reputation and league compliance.
- Field Netting and Safety Zones
Field netting and safety zones are mandatory protective systems that prevent paintballs from leaving the play area. They safeguard players, referees, staff, and spectators while establishing clearly defined boundaries around the field.
- Field Surfaces and Turf Types
Field surfaces shape how players move, slide, shoot, and maintain footing. Different materials such as turf, natural grass, dirt, or mixed terrain affect gameplay consistency, safety, maintenance demands, and long term field durability.
- Hyperball Field
Hyperball fields use rigid corrugated plastic or industrial pipe bunkers to create structured, aggressive lanes. They bridge the gap between woodsball’s unpredictability and airball’s precision.
- Indoor Fields
Indoor paintball fields provide controlled environments for year round play, using artificial lighting, ventilation, and surfaces designed for safety and accessibility.
- Inflatable Fields
Inflatable fields are standardized layouts made from air filled bunkers used in competitive speedball. They provide consistent, measurable structures that support tournament play at all levels.
- Mounds Field
Mounds fields use man made dirt or clay structures shaped into large bumps, berms, or ridges. These fields create elevation based strategies and emphasize timing, awareness, and movement.
- Paintball Field Overview
Paintball fields define where games take place, shaping strategy, safety, and gameplay experience. Every field type whether natural terrain, inflatable layouts, or hybrid structures affects player movement, visibility, and pacing.
- Scenario Fields
Scenario fields are large scale paintball environments designed for story driven or mission based gameplay. They incorporate buildings, vehicles, and themed structures that simulate real world or fictional settings.
- Urban Fields
Urban fields replicate built environments using walls, vehicles, shipping containers, and building style structures. They emphasize close quarters engagements, rapid decision making, and tight movement through confined spaces.
- Wooded Terrain
Wooded terrain fields use natural cover such as trees, fallen logs, brush, hills, and uneven ground. These fields support tactical, slower paced play and are a staple of recreational paintball.
- Woods Field
A woods field is any paintball field located in a forested or heavily vegetated environment. These fields prioritize stealth, ambush tactics, and long route engagements.
