Carnage Paintball Field Rules

1. NO ALCOHOL or illegal drugs allowed. This prevents injuries that could happen to yourself and or others.

2. No Profanity is allowed (on the field or in the staging area, this is a family field)

3. All players must remain within boundaries to remain in play. If a player goes out of bounds, they will be eliminated from the game. 

4. Barriers and obstacles are not to be moved or modified in any way. 

5. If for any reason your marker is not working and you are not sure of the problem alert a referee and they will assist you. 

6. Once on the field leave barrel plugs in until judge tells you to take them off. 

7. Do not pick up paintballs off the ground, once on the ground they sometimes pick up debris that could ruin the markers and DO NOT over fill you ammo loader. This may cause for problems in feeding. 

8. A player is eliminated when a paintball breaks and leaves a paint mark at least a nickel size or larger anywhere on the player or their equipment. 

9. If the paintball hits you and or your equipment and does not break, there is no elimination.

10. If a player is unsure if the ball broke or can not see where the paintball hit, he may yell for a “paint check”. “Paint check” allows a judge to come look the player over while the player continues to play. Once the judge gets to the player that has yelled for a “paint check”, if need be, the judge will call player neutral. At this point no body may shoot at, move up or around to get a better advantage on this player until judge calls player clean and game will resume with those players. Again never yell hit just because the paintball hit you, it may not have broken and you might still be able to play on. Always yell “Paint check”.

11. If you hit a player and he has yelled “HIT”, QUIT SHOOTING at this player. Excessive shooting will result in you being ejected from the game. If you are the player that has yelled “HIT”, please put marker in air with barrel plug in end of marker, other hand on head and leave field as quickly as possible while saying “Hit” leaving the field. 

12. When hit and leaving the field, remember that dead people don’t talk. You are only allowed to say “I’m hit” or “I’m out”. Anything besides this phrase after being eliminated will result in ejection from the next game. 

13. If you are caught wiping paint while in the game to avoid being called out or any other cheating you will be ejected from the game and so will the 2 closest players too you on your team. If you are caught doing it a second time you will be asked to leave. CHEATERS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! 

14. Whenever you feel like you are in a hopeless situation (i.e.; you are 20 feet or less from a person who has no idea that you are there) you should offer the player a chance to surrender rather than shoot them at close range. NO HEAD SHOTS or OVERSHOOTING ALLOWED AT THIS POINT! One shot should be enough at that range. 

15. In being asked to surrender, if defending player does not accept the “surrender”, he/she has the right to return fire. 

16. To surrender a player may use a positive response to acknowledge his/her surrender. “I’m hit”, “I’m out”, “I surrender”, “I give”. 

17. Understand that the player being asked to “Surrender” may not have heard you so you may want to ask more than once but also be aware on both attacker and defenders parts that even being asked to surrender ….. you may be in for a fire fight. 

18. The judges on the field have the right to go anywhere they want with out being a hassle to the players. Please be courteous to them and they will be the same in return. 

19. All decisions made by a judge are final. A player may be ejected from the field for arguing or disagreeing with a judge. If a dispute does occur between a player and a judge it should be brought off the field and taken to the head judge or owner. 

20. Items that are prohibited on the paintball field are items that the field owners fell make for unsafe conditions, unfair, or change the concept of the game, will not be allowed onto the field.
