Sounds like you played near the back......the rewards(and risks) are far greater near the front line where virtually point blank shots can be inflicted(and suffered)

I've always thought it would be fun to create a playground sized to adults.

20' tall swings and that sort of thing...

Our school eliminated that tactic with a variation. Once you were out, you were sent to a box behind the other team's side where you could continue to pelt your opponents. You could still hide, but it would require running back and forth after every throw, no one could maintain that for very long.
