Basic Game and Staging Rules
No foul language or unsportsmanlike conduct allowed at any time.
Stay away from and don't touch any other player's gear
unless invited to do so.
All games are organized and officiated by a referee or designated official. These officials are to be respected.
Barrel Covers are to be on, magazines out and weapons cleared
before entering staging area after games. A paintball barrel cover (can be purchased here) must be on gun and remain on gun in staging unless the
following is disconnected, removed, or void:
1) Magazines and bolts (if applicable)
2) Bb's
3) Gas is removed or void
4) Safety on
5) Electronics disconnected
Face protective gear must be on before leaving staging area onto field and are not to be removed until back in the staging area. Seal
always remain on
eyes at all times (100%) along with supporting required face
protection.
Never "blind fire" (sticking your gun and shooting
without looking) anywhere.
If you are hit anywhere, including any equipment, during game play, you are out
and must yell "HIT" and raise your arm with weapon. There is the
exception of gun hits or ricochets. You must yell "GUN HIT!"
immediately but can continue play. Note: Please do not call others
hit. Summon referee if necessary.
All players are asked to have a red shop rag or other brightly colored marker or brightly colored barrel cover to put on when you are out. Once it is safe to move, place a barrel
cover or marker on your weapon and move to the regeneration/hospital or staging area as designated by type of game. It is advisable to keep your gun up. Remember, dead players don't talk,
move or provide info/intelligence in any way.
Grenades have a 10' "kill" radius and are effective
through soft cover. Grenade must detonate to "kill". Inside
structures, a grenade only affects players within
the room it was detonated, not all rooms within building.
Airsoft is a game of honor, and as players we must take faith in the fact that other players will play honestly and call themselves out when hit. Please alert the referee of
the specific person suspected of cheating.
If you are 20 feet or closer to an opposing player or players, you must offer them surrender. Yell "SURRENDER" If they say "I surrender", they are out. If they make any move as to
engage in battle, during or after your offer, you may shoot them. Aim for equipment, if possible, to minimize injury. The moment opponent(s) or you are hit, stop shooting. Surrendering is optional
for the receiving player and they may shoot at any time upon aggression provided the aggressor has knowledge of their presence. SURRENDER RULE DOES NOT APPLY INSIDE A BUILDING. Caution:
Do not enter buildings if this is not for you.
You cannot "fake" being dead.
"Barrel Tagging" is also a legal way of getting someone out. If
you get within arm's reach of someone, do not shoot them, tag them
instead. A tag is as good as a hit. Anyone tagged is out. It is also known as a knife kill.
You must carry all of your ammo, and propellant gas on your person with you into the game. Unless designated in game briefing as a regeneration game, returning to a staging area after
game begins is considered calling yourself out.
"Cease Fire" yelled (or a second horn or whistle) after game begins is the code to stop all play immediately. It may be the end of game or an emergency situation. Please stop play, make gun safe
(including barrel cover) and stay in your position in case game resumes. Play will resume when an organizer blows the whistle, horn, or calls “game on”. If it is the end
of the game, no additional firing of weapons is allowed.
"EMERGENCY!" should be announced by players if
there is any
injured player and should be passed (parrot or echo) among
the other players until a referee is aware. Freeze play and
make weapons safe. You may help only those injured who can move
under their own power and ask to be helped. All others are
not to be touched except by formally medically trained
personnel.
Any violation of any rule may result in immediate and/or permanent removal from the facility
without refund.
NOTE: THESE RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PLEASE CHECK RULES
OFTEN. THANK YOU.
