Review of Blitz Paintball

I ve been to paintball courses in Missouri, North ...

I ve been to paintball courses in Missouri, North Carolina, and now this one in Colorado and this was by far the worst place I ve been too.
To start, it was super disorganized. The first round wasn t bad, but every round after that no one knew what they were doing. In the capture the flag game no one on my team knew what the flag was or where it was located. I asked a ref and he said it was a green towel lying somewhere on the 50 yard line . When up there looking I spoke with another ref who said it was an orange flag that was hanging on the flag pole in the middle of the ring. Why do they not even know what the objective is? Another round the refs didn t explain the rules well enough and there were people on the other team in locations that were thought to be out of bounds shooting at us so we had to adjust our strategy during that game to compensate for the enemies who were in locations they weren t suppose to be in. Another round of the same game, in a different location, the enemies were suppose to be in a trailer defending while we assaulted. As I m assaulting I m getting shot at from a direction that is not from the trailer. I get hit and asked the ref if they are suppose to have anyone over there and he just disregards that I ask him a question. I go spawn and come back to assault the trailer from the same direction and again am taking fire from the same direction. I asked the ref again why there were people shooting at us from over there when the game was attack and defend the trailer abd we were getting fired at from a courtyard not close to the trailer. He then sees my own team is shooting at me cause the rules were not explained well and no one knew what was going on. Several times we had people doing things that were not within the rules of the game so the games were stopped early. There were several times the game had started only a couple people knew so some people were playing while others didn t know what was going on. All the refs were 17-18 year old kids who didn t know what they were doing. There was a group of 2 or 3 guys there who I discovered used to work there and there was definitely a bias during the game towards them. One instance I shot a guy(the guy who used to work there) and advanced from a corner to shoot two more guys. The first guy I shot started shooting at me and so I returned fire at him again, knowing I already hit him. I hit him several times and he continued to shoot hitting my shoulder. A ref comes up to me and says sir you re out. The same guy, later on, is defending a trailer and can only get out with a head shot. I advance to the door and am popping my head and gun around the corner firing a couple rounds and going back behind the wall. As I m assaulting I keep hearing, what I thought to be, the ref and the players in the trailer telling me to stop blind firing which at no point did I shoot without looking what I was firing at. As I enter the trailer I see the dude sitting on the ground half behind cover and half exposed shooting while he has his head behind cover, blind firing which I was just yelled at for even though I didn t. Nothing was said to him. I shoot him in the chest a couple times and I hear, what I believe to be the ref again, telling me to stop shooting. I comply then he leans out and shoots me in the face and I m called out.
I will not be going back to the place. The main reason why I chose to go to this place was for the castle that we didn t even play while we were there. Was not satisfied playing here.
