The game of paintball can be played in many variations. The standard version for local tournament play is called center flag. Center flag is a fast-paced game designed to encourage aggressive paintball play. This style of paintball play requires only one flag as opposed to the standard two needed for capture the flag.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Old rag
  1. Step 1

    Place a single flag in the middle of the field. An old rag makes a great flag.

  2. Step 2

    Start with your team on one end of the field and the opposing team at the other end of the field.

  3. Step 3

    Shoot at your opponents when the game starts and prevent them from getting the flag before you do.

  4. Step 4

    Award 25 points to whichever team pulls the flag first. This is called the flag pull.

  5. Step 5

    Shoot out the rest of your opponents before moving on. You do not have to do this but it is highly recommended.

  6. Step 6

    Take the flag to the opposing teams starting box for a hang. A hang should be worth about double what the pull is worth. When the flag is hung the game is over even if opposing players are still in the game.

Tips & Warnings
  • Generally a flag pull is worth about 25 points and a flag hang is worth 50. The remaining 25 points to make 100 would be for shooting the other team (5 points per kill).
  • In center flag the flag goes to the opposing teams base. If you forget and take it to your own base the other team will get the flag hang points!
