== Scenario paintball ==

=== Development ===

Hanse contributed to the growth of scenario paintball through EMR's event programme.

Scenario paintball generally uses larger playing areas and longer game formats than tournament speedball.

Games may involve objectives, themed teams, fortified positions and multiple stages.

=== Destination events ===

EMR's facilities allowed participants to travel to the venue and remain for an entire weekend.

This contributed to the development of paintball events that combined organised play with camping and social activities.

=== Recreational culture ===

The park became known for an emphasis on player enjoyment and community.

Its event programme included large-scale games as well as smaller recreational sessions.

=== Pump and stock-class paintball ===

EMR was also associated with traditional paintball formats.

The Stock-Class Paintball Network listed EMR as a field supportive of pump and stock-class players.[9]

The listing described the park as offering accommodation and facilities for visiting players.
