Paintball In many paintball tournaments there are 100 points possible in each match of a round of play. There are 7 players on each team and when a player is tagged with a paintball, he is out of the match. The team with the higher point total at the end of each round of play moves on to the next round. Use the chart below to answer exercises 11 and 12.
