Paintball Rules

In addition to the General Rules these are specific to Paintball.

  • You must be at least 10 years old to play paintball.

  • For games like paintball we suggest the commonly known "20 foot rule." If you are within 20 feet of another player, ask them to surrender. If they do, allow them to plug their barrel and leave the area.

  • If you are close enough to another player to touch them with the muzzle of your marker DO NOT shoot. Let them move to a safe distance or ask them to surrender.

  • When a player is eliminated, either by surrender or by a hit, that player is to put their marker on "Safe" and immediately plug or cover the barrel and proceed to a pre-determined safe zone until the game ends. To avoid being shot during this process we strongly suggest the gun be pointed upward in a non-threatening manner.

  • A player can be eliminated by a couple of different methods. If the player is struck by a paintball and the ball breaks on either the player or their equipment, that player is out. If the ball does not break, the play continues. If a player is hit and calls themselves out, regardless of if the ball breaks or not, that player is eliminated. If a player surrenders or leaves the playing area that player is eliminated.

  • When you are not on the playing field or in the chronograph area your marker should be "Safe" and the barrel should be plugged or bagged.

  • In any case the Referees ruling is final.

  • And most importantly of all:

KEEP YOUR MASK ON WHEN PLAYING!

Always use common sense when playing. Never put yourself in a position of responsibility for another person's injury.
