Editing Paintball in California (section)

=== Development of speedball ===

In 1989, SC Village introduced an early version of [[speedball]], a format using a compact playing field and artificial obstacles instead of conventional woodland terrain.

The original arena included centrally positioned scoring horns that players attempted to activate while avoiding elimination.

The format was intended to create faster games with improved visibility for spectators.[2]

SC Village subsequently developed the SC Arenas tournament facility, incorporating purpose-built playing fields and training areas.

During the 1990s, the venue helped popularise [[Hyperball]], a tournament field format using large corrugated plastic pipes as bunkers.

SC Arenas became an established training location for professional teams including the Ironmen, [[Avalanche]] and San Diego Dynasty.[3]
