This is the biggest paintball event of our lives! So, the question is; Are you ready? Actually, the real question is; What do you think of the layout? I actually really like it, I think there are a ton of options on all three fronts! The center is setup perfectly for that run through power. The snake is different, but very makable it looks. Then the Dorito side has no corner and looks like it is going to have some major game breaks over there! But, don't take my word for it, get out there yourselves and let me know how it plays.
If you need some insight that is substantially more in-depth, you may as well take a moment and check out the BKI School of Paintball ‘s field breakdown, It is FREE for everyone to enjoy and there will be a followup breakdown for members only next week with key bounce shots and detailed game plans for everyone.
Right now, we must focus on getting familiar with the 2021 NXL WORLD CUP layout and dial in some game plans. As we all know, preparation is key, and it is a crucial element in your team’s, as well as your own, success. Be prepared to fight against your opponents by taking every necessary step. Taking these steps goes far beyond just the hours on the practice field. You may have heard me say before that you need to control all of the variables that you can. This is a great example of that preparation and this is a great step to controlling one of those variables. As some of the teams who I coach will agree, game planning is one of their major keys to success. With that said, our fearless leader and coach extraordinaire, Rusty Glaze has made some adjustments to the normal field layout map that everyone should be familiar with at this point and therefore should be a staple in everyone’s field planning. I would recommend following his lead, as it has paid serious dividends to Dynasty and to other local teams that we coach! The BKI Team have also added a FIELD BREAKDOWN FREE for everyone to enjoy. This is just a preliminary walkthrough. There will a full GAME PLAN REVIEW with several BREAKOUTS along with a detailed description on how to execute those plans coming out for WEEKEND TWO!

The gridded field map is great for setting up the layout at your local field. However, it is not the best when it comes to game planning. As a result, I am sharing with you, how coach Rusty Glaze lays out Dynasty’s field maps. The gridded field plans can make game plans cluttered and all the lines can cause confusion. Therefore, these maps have been cleaned up to allow you to create a clearer, more efficient game plan. We generally print out about 10 maps for each member of the team. A couple for each guy to come up with their own game plan and then a few extras for scouting reports of other teams and when the guys “misplace” them here and there. We also keep a large cache of the maps ready to keep track of wins and losses throughout our practice weekends.
“It may seem nonchalant and trivial to get rid of all the lines, but as I always say when I am teaching my clinics, we are trying to be as effective and efficient on the field as possible. With that, there goes the saying, ‘Trim the fat.’ “
The idea behind cleaning up the maps is to get a concise plan that is easy to view (See image to the left for a “worst case scenario” of what a spider web of confusion may look like). As many players know, there is enough to worry about in the pits, during and before games. It may seem nonchalant and trivial to get rid of all the lines, but as I always say when I am teaching my clinics, we are trying to be as effective and efficient on the field as possible. With that, there goes the saying, “Trim the fat.” Anyone who has taken a clinic with me has more than likely heard me use that phrase. Think of the clutter on the map as fat, where any little bit to make you more efficient will help you become a better weapon on the field.
So, please enjoy and use either or both of these field layouts with your team and GOOD LUCK!!
