Details
A time warning is a communication call that tells players how much time remains in a point, round, or scenario. Because paintball often involves timed objectives, knowing the remaining time is essential for deciding whether to push, hold, or rotate.
Typical time warnings include: “One minute!” to signal the need for urgent action. “Thirty seconds!” for final pushes. “Ten seconds!” to prepare for last moment trades or zone control.
Time warnings prevent teams from accidentally running out the clock and help synchronize last second plays. They are especially important when one team needs to capture an objective or eliminate opponents before the buzzer.
