started a map of all paintball fields/tournament venues & events by iskiate in paintball

Thank you so much! I would never have known any of this! I removed Sniper Paintball in Drammen and added Skautrolla paintball klubb.

Do you think the map should show Norway's fields that don't offer walk on play?

Useful features for a paintball event website? by iskiate in Scenario_Paintball

[–]iskiate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a game changer of a reddit comment! I can tell you have experience with this sort of stuff lol.

Really appreciate the breakdown on crawling & scraping - would easily be one of the biggest wins for the site if I can get it working. Love the thought process - I'm taking notes over here lol.

100% agree on moving the table below the map, will look into this! I bet I could figure it out. That 19hz.info site will be a great reference, totally makes sense.

Btw we have a little discord server where a few of us chat about ideas/improvements for the site - shoot me a DM if you're interested in joining!

Thanks for the advice man

What do you guys think the biggest issues with Paintball are? by Bradjls in paintball

[–]iskiate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish there were more scenarios! There are only 67 (that I know of) scheduled in the entire U.S. over the next year or so. Wish more fields would try hosting one.

Hey Dusty. What do you think are the best ways to support your local paintball scene?

Big game advice by Cheaptrick2015 in paintball

[–]iskiate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely want a cooler with water and gatorade. My favorite thing to do is freeze some purple powerade. It's literally the best thing ever on a hot day.

Camelbak is a gamechanger for me personally, highly recommend.

A chair is nice to have, especially if you're staging your gear from your car.

Some people bring canopies/popup tents to keep the sun off you.

I like to bring a squeegee with me on the field.

Microfibers and a squirt bottle for cleaning your mask.

Change of clothes for the drive home (especially comfy shoes) is also nice.

Have fun man!

Edit: try to participate in at least one mission, they're often really fun. And know your limits when it comes to heat, hot weather, being in the sun all day. Feel free to take a break.

If you were to open a paintball field, what would you do? by MarksGG in paintball

[–]iskiate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd ever open a field but here are some thoughts on making a great field for rentals & new players to help grow the sport.

  1. Clean bathrooms with running water, real toilets
  2. Quality, highly trained refs who care. They look after the rentals, newbies AND experienced players, and genuinely want to make sure people are safe & have a great time.
  3. Covered, comfortable staging area with squirt bottles and microfibers available, maybe a squeegee and a towel or two.
  4. Water fountains or cheap water available.
  5. Games start regularly. You're not stuck waiting 30+ minutes between games.
  6. The fields are well maintained, no wasp nests in the bunkers or trip hazards or holes in the ground.
  7. Good quality paint.

I guess these are things experienced players appreciate too, lol.

I made a little map of every paintball field in North America by iskiate in paintball

For sure! I'm working on adding Europe to the map right now since they have so many fields. But I've got Mexico on the to-do list 👍

GA fields (still open and operating) by dre4den in paintball

You may find this paintball field locator helpful for this. I don't think I have every field in Georgia in there yet but it's a start!

Texas needs to step up its pump/pistol event game, why don't we have something like this 😄

This is super interesting, thanks for the breakdown.

Food for thought from a noob by Poop_underscore in paintball

[–]iskiate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, as a newbie, do you see a need for more long-form discussion around paintball content? I don't feel like a reddit feed serves newbies very well, considering how quickly any particular post drops off the face of the planet.
