If your doing it in your backyard just start nailing plywood to trees or something, don't try to make it to elaborate. Try to keep the field balanced i.e. no super bunkers. Why does this thread have an angry smily on it?

Sup air is by far the best and most fun. But a second option would be to make a pipe field. A pipe field is simply a speedball field with a variety of black corrugated pipes that are usually stood on end so they stick straight into the air. They play similar to being behind trees. These pipes are super big btw. we're looking at 4 foot diameter for the big stand up ones. lay some smaller pipes on their side and you have small bunkers that you need to tuck tight into. It's tough to explain, but watch pig TV and you'll see a few fields like what I'm describing. You'll notice that alot of speedball fields have round bunkers as opposed to flat ones. This makes the game go faster as it is easy for 2 people to get an angle on someone with these bunkers. You get a fast paced game and loads of fun. If you dont have a couple thousand to invest though, throw away my pipe dream (haha, pun, get it?? :P )and do what PB ninja said, start nailing plywood to things. Ge a few abandoned tires and set up walls made of tires. Make sandbag bunkers (they look cool, and they're cheap) or do whatever else comes to your mind that you think would be fun to hide behind. One thing I want to caution against is dont ever ever make trenches. It's easy for someone caught up in the game to run and not see the trench, fall in and possibly break a leg. Just have fun with it, and if you have thousands of dollars, build a pipe field. Realistically though, just make stuff out of plywood or tires, and adjust as you see fit.

It is acually called a Hyperball field to be correct.

If your making it in your backyard, make a speedball field. Just get aholw bunch of bunkers and fill up your backyard, and u have a field. Or, if your gonna do in the woods where there a lot of tress. Make a woods field. The best place to put a woods field is where the place looks like a half pipe. THats the ki d of filed we have. The woods is shaped like a half pipe, and we play down in the valley and up the sides. But if u dont have that kind of territory to play on, just build the speedball field in your backyard, Ne thing can be used as a bunker. One time i played at a field with a broken windshield as a bunker.

a broken windshield? isn't that dangerous? this one kid, he had a car but crashed it bad, so his dad bought a plot of land, and he made it into a pb field, and the car became a bunker..it's actually pretty kick @$&

When i said broken i just meant it wasnt a part of the car ne more necause it cracked. It acutally makes for a sweet bunker. You can see what people are doing while u hide, but if theyre up, they can see what ur gonna do, so it makes the game intersting. Wht exactly is a sup air field, or hyperball, whatever u want to call it, ive never played at one, just heard its awsome

Yeah I know some people that call any form of speedball hyperball, so i wasnt sure if that was the right term. You're right though, Hyperball is what it's called
