corporations are finding the benefits of having their staff and

A group is divided into several teams compeeting with each other
in paintball according to tournament system. Paintball court is
sized 50m x 30m and is adjusted for playing SPEEDBALL . Two
groups start (each from it's own side of the court), on judges
mark, towards the center of the court, trying to win the enemy's
flag. During the game, the team collects points, for example
elimination of the enemy player scores 4 points, each «living»
player scores 1 point, winning the flag scores 50 etc. Each game
is limited up to 5-6 minutes, so that teams have to score as
many points as possible in rather short time. During the
tournament points scored in all games that were played are being
summarized, and the winner of the tournament is a team who
scored the most point.
