speedball stances
Speedball paintball positions in tournament play position and is very specific to what your role is in the game. Speedball is played in an arena-like setting and generally consists of several bunkers. Such an environment will require positions to use the field of play.
1. Front or Frontman
This is the position assigned to the players farthest from the field. The player’s responsibility is to move forward and eliminate enemies along the way. Forward players are usually fast players as they shoot a lot. They shoot a lot and use less paintballs as they have the best angles to shoot from. Fronts generally consist of no more than two players.
2. Medium players
Center players are allocated between the front and back players to provide support for both positions. These players should be able to adapt to changing situations as they need to be able to switch between attacking and defending. They support all areas of the field and pull forward or can be used to replace a downed player in the front or back areas. As such, this is considered the most difficult position to play in speedball.
3. Back-Players or Backs
These players are placed in the back or in the last row of the bunkers. Their roles are simple and can be played even by beginners as they would provide suppressive fire for forward and mid players. They keep firing to provide cover and support allies who are pinned down or provide support when they’re in a pinch. Of all the positions in speedball, this position consumes the most paintballs.
