What are some speed ball terms?

[WgPpiMp]

I know some like: Man on my mirror!! And other stuff like i know the inflatables are called tacos, Barrels, and sausages but what r some other terms?

I think speedball terms would be the same as 5/10 man. At a 3 on 3 Road to Aruba tourney I went to, every team had names for the bunkers. The field was set up like this:
( The arrow shows the direction a team would be facing)

Orange: Left & Right standups
Dark Green: Shoulders
Purple: Center V
Dark Red: Left & Right Arms
Red: Centerflag
Blue: Barrels

The center X was broken down into 6 terms:
Grey: Left & Right "SIDE X"
Light Green: Left & Right "BACK X"
Light Blue: Left & Right "FRONT X"

Hope this helped.

snap shooting: popping out of your bunker, taking a couple shots, and geting back in as quik as you can

Sweet spotting: you see the tarfet popps out every 5 secound, shoot on the 4th secound, in hopes they will pop out into the paint

Bunkering: this ones esay, run to thier bunker and pop over the side and let 'er rip

Oops, the color didn't quite work out on some things. The two back bunkers sandwhiched in the middle were supposed to be orange.

Theres also running the 40 or 50 and that is comparable to a football field. If it is not a football field size just estimate how far it would be and relate it in yard terms. The names of the bunkers all really depend on the field your playing. Another bunker name is the snake which is the long low level thingy you have to crawl on your belly to use.

I call them burritos and subs.

Looks like someone watches Paintball 101.

really depends on the field. SC Village tournament fields have netted walkways so you can watch the games without a mask. But if there is not net, you should wear a mask!

Sweetspotting can also refer to laying a ton of paint at a bunker off the break that you think a player will have to run to. Or it can mean firing heavily at one side of a bunker, to lure the opposing player into exposing himself on the other side for an easy elimination. We also call the stubby "pop can" bunkers nipples, the ones that only go waist high. Bonus balls refer to any shots you take after being eliminated. First pull refers to being the first team to grab the flag. Flag hang... well you get it.
