Basic Rules.

a) General Rules

1. A minimum of one person is designated as the Referee for each Paintball game. The Referee will be the one who starts the game, stops the game for paint checks, decides the issues that may arise and who ends the game. The Referee should have a whistle for signaling the start, stopping and ending of the game. As with all games, it does not pay to contradict the decisions of the referee, decisions by referees and judges are final and unarguable.

2. A player is considered out of the game if a Paintball pellet hits him and it breaks on him/her, this includes his or her clothing, gun or equipment. When a player is marked he or she is to immediately call himself "OUT ". He/she must then hold their gun over their head, continue to call out "OUT" and leave the playing field by the shortest and safest route.

3. A player is not considered out of the game if a Paintball pellet strikes him and it does not break. A player is not considered out of the game if she/he is struck by a splatter from a Paintball pellet. Splatter is considered to be the spray or fragments from a marking pellet that has broken on an object such as a tree, bush or rock etc., close to the player.

4. If two or more players mark each other simultaneously, all must be eliminated. A referee will decide who is to be eliminated when two or more players are marked

5. If there is a question as to whether a player has been marked, call for a "Paint Check", that's what the referee is for. When a Paint Check is called the game comes to a stop, all players remain where they are at until the referee clears the problem and restarts the game. Note also that during a Paint Check all players remain where they are when the Paint Check was called and by leaving that position during a Paint Check they can be called out by the referee or by a player reporting their movement to the referee.

6. Predetermine the length of the game. Most games run 20 to 30 minutes. The Referee will be the one who keeps track of the time. By setting time limits you make for a more aggressive game. If no one wins, who cares, go on to the next game and try some new strategy. Have Rest periods between games. Predetermine their length and have the referee keep track of the time. The Rest Periods allow the players to refresh themselves, to talk over the game that they have just played, to reload ammunition and Co2 gas, and to clean or repair equipment.

7. If the game is a flag game, only one player is permitted to guard the flag at the station. If the guardian gets eliminated from the game, he/s leaves the flag at the point where he/s got shot.

8. A player is not allowed to move together with the barricades.

9. "Dead Man Silent" is when a player got hit and walks out of the field. During this walk s/he is not allowed to speak to any of the players. A marked player is to walk out of the field and to report immediately to the referee for a paint check.

10. Every team has a captain. At the meeting, captains will receive any final instructions and written notice of rules. After the game, captains of both teams attend the calculation of the points done by the referee.

11. Team captains have to wave to the referee, in order for the game to begin. The referee shouts Go.Go.Go…or blows the whistle and the game commences officially.

12. Set up the Boundaries of the playing field. Be sure that all players and the referee's) understand where they're located. The rules are: During the playing of a game, any player's) caught outside of the boundaries is/are out of the current game and are to leave the play field area at once. Any and all shots fired from outside the Boundaries do not count. No leaving and returning to the playing field during a game. Once you’re outside the Boundaries your out of the game. Only the game players and the Referee(s) are allowed on the playing field during the playing of a game. If an unauthorized person enters the playing field the game is to come to an immediate stop until that person leaves the playing field. Set up the field Boundaries so that any stray flying marking pellets (paintballs) do not strike any other persons personal property, such as houses, cars, etc.

13. A team will be disqualified if any player enters or attempts to enter a playing field for a game without having signed a waiver.

4. It is forbidden to shoot from a distance under 5 meters. The Paintball pellet leaves the barrel with an average speed of 80-100 m/sec., or about 300 f/sec, and this may lead to injuries. If the distance between two rival players is less than 5 meters, the attacker should not shoot but to call ‘SURRENDER’ to the other player or the referee may judge who may have to go out.

5. If a player holds his/her gun with both hands stretched out over his/her head, none is to shoot at the player. This movement is only allowed if the player is eliminated, or in a case of emergency.
