Yep, everyone must be able to participate equally or it isn’t politically correct. Hubris has the right idea, the team has to help all it’s members and they have to work together.
Was in a reenactment group affiliated with a university, and yes, I swore that we took all interested as members, we had a few ground rules, and anyone could come join and participate (the national had policies about that already, phew). Well it was a long time before LGBT even hit the mainstream and we had an event, it was Plus One and one gal that had just come out brought her partner. Which was cool with us. The uni sent someone by to our day long happenings to see how well we WERE following what we’d promised, and THEY couldn’t handle that we had THAT plus-one there. Yep, it was ‘points to registered member of group’ her plus-one. We had no more Uni checkups. We had colorblind, we had a few wheelchair bound, they did everything they wanted to.
As for the truly colorblind, just have to put some sort of distinctive visual (posy in their helmet or an armband) in their team member’s garb. Peasy.
Staci: “This will only work if management is on one team, front office is on another, management gets the cannons and unlimited crates of paintballs, and the special needs group runs the food tables.”
Hubris: “Not kidding this time, right?”
Staci: “‘ll run it by HR and get back to you with your answer this afternoon.”
Wheelchair bound participants? Snipers, they stay in one place in hiding for the whole game, don’t have to move at all (in fact they do best not to move.)

They’d be cannon fodder, that’s for sure!
I was always fodder …I THINK however … those who make the most should be the fodder.
