Camp Pendleton Paintball Park Recap

Good:


  • Games were run on a very regular/timely basis (cycled through 14+ games while I was there), announcements were loud and clear
  • I loved the bleachers
  • Time limits in place for games
  • Good organization; staff was tracking field usage, rotated us through all fields
  • Refs walked out with all players
  • Reasonably attentive staff/refs
  • Splitting advanced and new players
  • Attempted at least a little to balance teams
  • OK pro shop; better than nothing
  • Interesting and diverse field layout; it's really just a neat rec field overall
  • Plenty of fill stations
  • Good turnout of players
  • Food truck on-site

Bad:

  • REFS NEVER CHRONO'D GUNS
  • Douchey players who were obviously buddies with the refs.  Not everyone, but too many.
  • Loud music in staging area made it hard to listen for leaks
  • Only one ref watching our group; this was the "intermediates" though
  • Occasionally games run on adjacent active fields simultaneously
  • Air fills were a little gimpy; no fill station that I tried actually went all the way to 3k
  • Staging area/tables way too small for volume of business they had
  • Some of the fields could use a wee bit more construction
  • All games were elimination; no flag/objective based games at all
  • Weird pricing -- it was actually $2 more expensive to play with your own euqipment and buy half a case than to rent;  fortunately I only used less than a bag the entire day


No data:


  • Never visited the bathroom
