Northwood students spent a weekend day recently trying to shoot each other in paintball games. Paintball is a game where a player uses a CO2-powered rifle that shoots projectiles filled with paint that, when hitting another opponent, splatters and leaves a visible mark that indicates you have been hit.
There were three different types of paintball games Northwood students participated in last weekend. The first paintball match we participated in was Capture the Flag. We played two rounds of this game.
Next, we tested our mettle in an elimination round, where the last person standing was the victor. We played two rounds of this, showcasing our competitive spirit and teamwork.

The last round of the day was internationals versus Americans. This round was especially aggressive because we were fighting for the name of our country. The internationals won two rounds, and the Americans won two rounds as well. So, we ended the day in a very nice tie, which left everybody happy.
