Step 1
Divide all your players into two equal teams.
-
Step 2
Set up two home bases. Place a flag in the center of each home base.
-
Step 3
Determine a length for the game. Length should depend on the terrain and the amount of players. Bigger areas and more players need more time, but don't allow too much time. Short games put the pressure on for action and are generally more exciting. Make sure everyone knows how the game is to be started and stopped.
-
Step 4
Separate to your home bases.
-
Step 5
Begin the game. Each team must devise its own strategy to try to reach the other team's flag and return it to home base without the team's own flag being taken.
-
Step 6
Hit other players with your paintballs to make them "out." These players must leave the field until the next game.
-
Step 7
Capture the opposing team's flag and hang it in your own base before time runs out.
-
Step 8
Switch home bases each game.

on 8/8/2006 Another variation:
In the middle of the field have 2 flags on opposite sides, the goal is to touch the flags.
Many strategies for capture the flag are good. One is for your team to be stacked at bunkers (one guy in a bunker behind another in a different bunker) and every one bump up fast. Playing a fast pace and keeping moving makes it harder for your opponent to tell their team you position.
Another strategy is to take the key bunkers otb (off the break). If your team takes 50's, snakes, castles otb you have a way better advantage.
