Do not lock onto one opponent. Scan the field even when you are in a fire fight. If not other players will maneuver on you and get beside or behind you before you know it. (AKA field awareness)

Work in small groups. I've found 3 players working togather can do a lot of damage. Take turns keeping opponents attention/headsdown while the other two move for angle shots then someone else picks up the shooting and the other two move for position. The tricks is to communicate and keep moving. If you are moving you are a harder target to hit, also if you are moving it is harder for your opponent to keep track of you.

Talk to your teammates the more they know what you are doing and what you can see the better situational awareness your team has. If you can communicate on radios and hand signals that is great your opponents will not hear. If you have no other way of communication than yelling, go ahead and yell, its better to communicate and have your opponents hear then not letting your teammates know what's up.

Where ever your eyes go your gun should follow. That way if you see a target you can get the quick shot. You should always be scanning the field and whatever you are looking at your gun should be pointing at so you can get the drop on your opponent, if need arises.

Us experienced players smell fear. Don't be afraid. Play aggressive. If you go out there and try to be aggressive you'll either do something stupid, or succede in doing that stupid thing and be the envy of the other players around you.

One time I just walked (not a dead-man's walk) right onto the other team's side of the field and walked behind them. I walked and shot 1 shot (using my autococker at the time) in the back and walked towards the flag and grabbed it and walked right through the other team to hang the flag. Basically the game was supposed to end 5 minutes prior, but the ref's let it go on while I walked. Something like that will get you lit up, or get you a game winning flag pull.

This is good for woodsball, but in speedball it is extremely helpful to be able to shoot at one thing, and look around the field before going back into your bunker at the same time.

In speedball you also don't want more than two behind a bunker. The only time you want to double up is if you have good angles from each side and the bunker is somewhat roomy.

I'll get some more speedball tips later since a lot of you seem to be working on the woodsball end of things.
