what is the ranking system?

The ranking system is a competitive league based around the Tactical Paintball Games field, and Tsawwassen Paintball Games scenario series. Players that sign up for the ranking system will be placed on a database on the Tactical Paintball Games website. Players will earn ‘ranking points’ by attending and winning certain games, among other tasks. If a player reaches a certain amount of ‘ranking points’ they will increase in rank. Certain ranks will unlock special player bonuses. The ranking system will cater from an individual player, to a large squad. The ranking system is our way of rewarding our most active and talented players. We believe that scenario and squad play is an exciting way to play the sport of paintball, and we cater to this crowd. We are very excited to bring competitive paintball back to the bush!

what does it cost to become a ranked player?

There is a one-time fee of $5. This is a lifetime fee that will forever place your name in our ranking system. This can be paid at the Tactical Paintball Games field, the Tsawwassen Paintball Games field on the day of a big scenario game, or at any PBL West location.

how often will the database be updated?

The database will be updated within 3 days of the last game/scenario.

do i have to be ranked to play at tactical paintball games?

No. Everyone is welcome at Tactical Paintball Games, but we encourage players to join the ranking system as we firmly believe it will enhance your time at Tactical Paintball Games.

how will people know what rank i am?

We issue you a set of Dog-Tags that will have your rank imprinted right on them! When you reach your next rank you will be issued a new set of Dog-Tags. Simply bring your old Dog-Tags and a piece of ID to Tactical Paintball Games, and we will reward you with your new Dog-Tags and rank.

is the ranking system valid anywhere else?

Yes. The only place outside of Tactical Paintball Games where the ranking system will be valid will be at the large scenario games at Tsawwassen Paintball Games. Players can earn a lot of points by participating in these events. Plus they are a ton of fun!

how do i sign up?

There is a one-time fee of $5. This is a lifetime fee that will forever place your name in our ranking system. This can be paid at the Tactical Paintball Games field, the Tsawwassen Paintball Games field on the day of a big scenario game, or at any PBL West location. When you sign up you will need to provide picture ID and pay the ranking sing up charge. Then you are assigned a set of Dog-Tags. Keep a hold of these as you will have to pay a replacement fee if you lose them ($5)! The ranks are scaled so that each rank is exponentially harder to achieve. We couldn’t have everyone running around as generals now could we. The prizes we assign to each rank are exponentially better though! You’ll notice that after a few months of play your costs are reduced greatly!

how do open play games work?

Every open play day at Tactical Paintball Games will have 3 games where ranking points are awarded. These games will not be announced to the players to avoid cheating.

how will mini scenario and major scenario games work?

When a player is signing in at the start of the scenario game, they will provide their dog tags and ID and they will be marked down on which team they are playing on. The game results will be logged so that ranking points can be awarded to the ranked players on the winning team.

What is a battlefield commendation?
