Face masks must be worn at all times on the playing field and in the neutral zones. Players will be given a warning on the first offense, sit out a game for the second offense. A third face mask offense will result in ejection from play for the remainder of the day. Your and everyone’s safety is our number one priority!

Markers must have barrel socks on at all times when not playing on a field. Barrel socks are not to be removed until instructed to do so on the field or in the chrony area only. DO NOT remove your barrel sock in the staging area to clean you marker. You MUST go into the chrony area wearing your mask before removing your barrel sock to clean it.

Judge's decisions are final. Players arguing with judges during a game will be ejected from the game.
•
BEING MARKED OUT: A player is marked out when a paintball breaks on him/her and leaves a mark the size of a quarter or larger anywhere on his/her body or equipment. Splatter from a paintball bursting on a barricade or any other object will count if it is a quarter or larger. Players rubbing or wiping paint during a game will be ejected from play. When a player is marked out he/she will call out loudly "I'M HIT" or "I'M OUT". Place your barrel sock on your Marker, Slowly raise your marker, and exit the playing field as quickly as possible. Other players may not shoot at hit player as he/she exits.
•
PAINT CHECK: When a player has been hit in a location that he/she cannot see, players may call a paint check. The player must call out "PAINT CHECK" and continue to play. A judge will come over to check the player for a hit while the game continues. If a judge has his hands on a player during a check, that player is neutral and may not be fired upon.
•
SURRENDER (10') RULE: Whenever you get a player in hopeless or pointblank situation (a shot within 20 feet) you MUST offer him to surrender rather than shooting at close range. The player will call "I SURRENDER" and exit the field. If the surrendering player does not surrender and or attempts to turn and fire on the person offering the surrender, they may then and only then be shot at close range and only below the waist. Players turning and firing on the person offering the surrender must also only fire below the waist or they will be removed from the field for the remainder of the day for un-sportsman like conduct. (Surrender when offered is strongly encouraged)
