MORE FUN THAN ANY ONE PERSON SHOULD LEGALLY HAVE IN ONE DAY!
          The first time player should be aware, YOU WILL GET HIT! And you will no doubt get hit more than once at the same time. If you get hit, check to make sure the paint actually broke on you, if you do not know, yell for a paint check. If you see that you have been hit, yell "HIT" or "OUT". YELL IT...you are wearing a mask, so your voice may be muffled, unless you enjoy being hit, you must make sure the guy doing the shooting can hear you!
          A good plan of action for your first game, may be to sit back, stay hidden, and pick-up ideas for yourself. Ususally the judges will take you once around the field and may even give you some tips on hiding places. Do not make the mistake of finding the densest brush you can find and hunker down in it. REMEMBER, you also have to shoot...and chances are, you will have to retreat. Pick a spot that you can be hidden, but that you are still able to shoot or beat a hasty retreat. You may also be able to play a little bit off the judges. Judges watch the players, so if you watch the judges.....well...you may be able to find your enemy.
          It is also a good idea to have a partner, a team-mate. Four eyes are far better than two. make sure you know where he/she is so you do not shoot at them. The more you play together, the better you will become as a team.
