RULES

- If a paintball breaks on any part of your body, or any equipment that you are carrying, then you are eliminated.  You must then go back to your DZ, and wait until reinsertion.

- Whenever you are eliminated, yell “HIT”, and raise your arms in the air.  Then get out of play, and put your barrel plug in your gun.

- If a bunker is hit by a “rocket launcher”, then anyone who is behind the bunker is out.

- If any paint from a grenade, landmine, etc. hits you, or any of your equipment then you are eliminated, and you must go to your DZ, and wait for reinsertion.

- The “Surrender” rule comes into play whenever one player decides that it is too close to open fire on an unsuspecting opponent.  The player who is surrendered must put in his/her barrel plug , and report back to their DZ, and wait until reinsertion.

-  Tanks can only be eliminated by “launchers”.  They must have a 2’x2’ target on each side of the tank.  If that target is hit at anytime, then the tank must report to the tank DZ, and wait for reinsertion.  All targets for the tanks must be approved by a referee.  Only Marines will be able to have tanks during this game.

- Whatever the referee’s say goes.  Do not question a ref during play.  If you disagree with a call, then wait until the referee is able to speak to you , then explain your disagreement in a calm manner.  Yelling, and screaming will not be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave without refund.

- Try not to overshoot people.  This will happen from time to time, and if you are on the receiving end it really sucks.  Just be aware that whenever your shooting at someone, to give them a chance to call themselves out. 

- BE A GOOD SPORTSMAN AT ALL TIMES -

-We are all playing this sport to have fun.  If your playing to ruin other people’s time, then you might as well not even waste your time.  If you get caught cussing someone out, being hateful, making obscene gestures, trash talking, etc.  A referee is free to give you a violation if he feels that one needs to be given. 

- CHEATERS WILL GO HOME!!!!! -

-  Cheating will not be tolerated at all!!!!  If you are caught wiping, not reporting back to your DZ, playing out of bounds, messing with the radio frequency of the opposing team, or referees.  Or any other way that you can think to play outside of the rules, YOU WILL GET A VIOLATION, OR POSSIBLY EJECTED FROM THE GAME IMMEDIATELY!!!     

- Please do not mess with any of the props.  They are for decoration only.  Anyone who gets caught messing with the props, or modifying the bases to their own personal preference will get a violation punch on their ID card.
