Heh. I watched the first episode, and there was absolutely nothing "exciting" about it. Paintball is wonderful to play, but it's not particularly interesting to watch, especially when ESPN has yet to figure out any way to televise it in a coherent manner. The non-stop firing doesn't help either. It would translate to television better if there were limited ammo and more intermittent shooting.

I caught some of the local tournament coverage on some show on WGN and it's rather boring to watch. Besides, stealth is practically out the window when the cameras are pointed right in the direction of where team players are behind bunkers.

I watch a few from a year ago or so. It just seemed like a live version of Quake deathmatch. Everyone just running around shooting as fast as they can hoping they hit someone.

I take it it's more speedball than woodsball?

The one I watched a while ago was all speedball.
