Yes, Chaos Blitz will be the name. The League will take place towards the end of the season. Teams which had the best showing through the season will participate in the playoffs. The playoffs will consist of several matches between these teams to determine the final two who battle for the championship.
Teams! These would consist of eight players, with allowance for stand by players should injuries occur which incapacitate the active team member.
Matches! Now here I think they should depart from the typical elimination style of paintball. Instead I'm thinking we'd have more of a capture the flag style.
I had these two ideas. One style would be a flag hidden somewhere on the field. Both teams go out, zapping each other, until one finds it. Soon as the flag is found and claimed everyone is made aware of the location and chase or defend the player who has capture the flag and must now bring it back to their goal in order to score points. The flag can be stolen by the opposing team and taken to their goal to score with. Team with highest score after four fifteen minute quarters wins.
OR it would be more of a capture the 'base' style where two teams fight each other for control of certain waypoints or bases and they have to maintain control of the base over time, the team with the most base control after four fifteen minute quarters wins.
This would be a full contact sport so tackling is allowed. Severe roughness though is not. The lasers would stun the player for forty five seconds. There is even a countdown to show the time the player is out. During this stun period the boost pack would cease propelling them and they would stop flying so they don't crash into something and get injured any worse. After the forty five second period the pack would send a revival jolt to wake the player up if they haven't already done so. If they wake up before the forty five seconds they need to hold their position until the count down finishes. Special consideration is given to players with a higher 'kill' count. Yes there will be cheer leaders just to give the teams a much needed morale boost and to increase viewership.
Uniforms! Typical team 'uniforms' will consist of shoulder pads, forearm bracers, knee pads, boots, team jersey featuring name and number, gloves, the booster pack, gun (or rifle?), and helmet. The helmet will have comm unit so team members can communicate to each other. Pants will be elastic to allow freedome of movement. Colors will vary from team to team and can be customized for various reasons and occasions.
Fields! The playing field will consist of a large contained field of a zero-g environment with a cylindrical shape. Approximate size will be 30 yards long, 20 yards wide, and fifty yards high. The field will be filled with various obstacles and objects of different shapes and sizes to create a challenging field to travel through. Depending on location will determine the style and quality but all fields must be within sprt regulations. Failsafe and backup systems must be in place to prevent failure of the zero-g field and to protect the players from any disaster.
Canada eh? )
