Overview

Standards for field size, bunker placement, and symmetry in 1v1 competitive environments.

• Boundaries must be clearly marked
• Start points must be identical in distance and visibility
• Bunker density is lower than team formats
• Changing layouts affects pacing and strategy

Details

1v1 paintball layouts are designed to create balanced engagements while allowing players to maneuver meaningfully. Symmetry is required so each player faces identical conditions.

Bunkers are spaced more sparsely compared to team formats to prevent excessive stalemates. Start points must provide equal cover and must be placed at equal distances from major bunkers.

Boundary lines must remain visible from all player angles, and any out-of-bounds contact results in a round loss. Organizers may publish layout diagrams before events or use randomized layouts for skill-testing formats.
