Alright, about this time, you've learned to bunker,snap shoot, dive, and pretty much the basics of being a god at paintball. But, whats good is it gonna do if you can't mix it with teamwork? My team drills on communication all the time, even pro teams have to work on it, so don't get discouraged. Alright, let's get to it.
The Basics
The basics of teamwork is communication, communication communication. You HAVE to know where your opponents are, or what else do you have? Mind powers? Didn't think so. Your back guys need to be shooting nonstop, calling out bunkers/eliminations/scratch counts (how many of your guys are dead, I'll get into codes/lingo later). Your midguys should be doing the same, but filling the front guys spots if they are eliminated or bump up. Your front guys should be the ones most vital to you. They rack up the kills, fill key bunkers, take extra paint, etc. You Need to know how to gel these together.
5,4,3,2,1.....
Before the game, you should have a basic gameplan. No, a gameplan isn't "alright, you go here and then shoot them." It's more like; "Alright Bob, if you take this bunker here, take this guy out before he breaks down the right. George, that's where you come in. Lane the right, don't stop laning right untill Steve tells to you cross up, then you both shoot cross field. Larry here will go up the gut and try to kill this bunker here." FOLLOW YOUR GAMEPLAN! If you don't , your team will just break down. Some guys were following gameplan, some weren't. Have organization, another key.
E1,E1,E1!
I don't know about the rest of your teams, but that's Team Nazgul's kill count. E1= Elimination 1, or one guy dead. Then comes E2,E3,E4, etc. Basically, another good key in organization is codes. Here's a few codes we use.
E1=Elimination 1, one of the opposing team members is eliminated.
Scratch 1= One of our team members is eliminated.
Star= Roll your guns. Everyone is out shooting their guns, usually used to help front guys get to key bunkers.
Jump= Bunker. For instance, if someone says, "Jump center rollie!" that means do whatever you can to bunker that center rollie. Usually used in conjunction with Star.\
Bump= Move to a certain bunker.
Those are just a few of the things we can use. Other things you can use is you can break the field up into sections.
Left tape=Green Mid=Red Right tape= Blue, etc. Also, be on the same page with your teammates with bunker names."He's at the doghouse! "What!?!?!?" "the doghouse, the pointy triangle!" "Oh!" Doesn't work well.
Be cool Brah
One of the most important things is you have to be able to mix your teammates. You have to gel, be one oile d machine. It sounds corny, but get to know you're teammates, see if you share a common thread, talk with them. I'd much rather step on a field with a best friend then a guy I barely know. If you guys know an respect each other, you will see much better results in team work, leading to more eliminations, leading to more 1st place finishes.
Hope this helped. Good Job STO and Eff, Mine weren't as detailed as yours but I try, what can I say.:)
