Editing World Classic Paintball League (section)

== Competition formats ==
The WCPL's published programme covers woodland, [[Hyperball]] and earth-mound fields. Under its standard ten-player rules, each team starts with a flag station. A team scores two points for each opponent eliminated, one for each of its own players remaining, twenty for the first opposing flag pull and fifty for hanging the opposing flag. The rulebook provides for adjusted scoring in five-player and seven-player games.[6][9]

The general competition guide describes twelve-minute games and eight preliminary games per team. Event listings can specify different limits, including the ten-minute games advertised at the 2023 Montressor Classic.[5][10]

The league promotes mechanical markers. Its general guidance permits electronic markers capped at 5.5 balls per second and allows magazine-fed markers subject to the equipment rules. First Strike projectiles are prohibited under that guidance. Individual events can set stricter conditions, as at the 2026 Hate City Open, which used mechanical markers.[5][11]
