Woodsball

Played in woodland or scenario fields with natural cover. Games last longer and reward patience, scouting and teamwork. Great for groups and first-timers.

Speedball

Played on a flat field with inflatable bunkers. Rounds last a few minutes and are fast, loud and competitive. It's the format used in most tournaments.
