Overview
Different field environments influenced play style, equipment demands, and safety practices.
Key Points

- Inflatable layouts standardized modern competitive environments.
- Surface types impacted movement and padding needs.
- Predictable layouts influenced pacing and equipment preferences.
Details
Woodsball fields emphasized longer ranges, varied terrain, and strategic movement. Hyperball fields introduced plastic bunkers that created faster engagements and influenced marker and loader demands.
Inflatable bunker systems later standardized mirrored layouts for organized events, simplifying officiating and improving visual clarity. Surface transitions from natural grass to synthetic turf affected sliding, stability, and padding requirements.
These changes shaped equipment development and approach to gameplay across eras.
