Paintball is the latest craze with stressed out techies who want to bond over the weekend. The sport is fast catching on in Bangalore

Getting yourself covered with large blobs of paint is some people's idea of fun and in Sarjapur yesterday, they were taking it very seriously.

The scene at the 4th Open Paintball Championship 2009 organised by the Indian Paintball League this Sunday was charged, with a total of 10 teams participating.

Armed with paintguns, the catchily named Loose Cannons, Maniacs, Splat, Max Pain, The Brats and others battled it out on the field. With five players in each team, divided into forwards, midfielders and background, their aim was to capture the flag from the opponent's base in just five minutes.

After a fierce duel, the Maniacs triumphed, while IYD (I'm Your Daddy) came a cool second.
