What is Paintball?


What is Paintball?

The first known game of paintball was played on June 27, 1981.  The first commercial paintball field followed shortly afterward, in April of 1982.  Since then, paintball has grown to become one of the top extreme sports, with over 9.8 million participants annually in the U.S. alone, as well as millions of players in over 40 countries worldwide.  The primary objective in the game of paintball is to mark players from the opposing team by shooting them with a small paintball capsule which leaves a bright biodegradable mark.

The Game of Paintball

The GAME of paintball is a fun-filled game played by both new and experienced players.  While the primary objective mentioned above never changes, the format of the game varies with your imagination.  The most common format is “capture the flag”, in which there is either a flag in the middle of the field which must be advanced to the opposing end of the field, or a flag at each end of the field.  The objective is to capture the flag from your opponent’s end of the field and return it to your end, while protecting your flag from the opposing team.  Other games referred to as theme games, give teams specific objectives, such as defending a fortified location from attacking forces.  We provide a fun filled environment for recreational players who want to have a good time and always separate the more aggressive tournament style players from the true recreational players. 


Field Rules

We are a Field Paint Only establishment.  Check our EVENTS page for BYOP opportunities.

Safety Rules

Masks:

Players must wear their masks at all times on any playing field.   Masks must remain on until the player completely exits the playing field through the designated gate in the netting.   If a player’s mask comes off during play, the player should cover his/her eyes with the bend of his/her elbow and yell “Blind man!” The referees will stop the game and help the player put his/her mask back on properly.

Barrel Covers:

 Barrel covers are mandatory for ALL paintball markers off the playing field at ALL times.  We permit the use of barrel plugs, but not squeegees, barrel swabs, sticks, socks or removing the barrel.   Barrel covers must be put on the paintball gun securely with the elastic band adjusted so that the barrel cover is firmly over the end of the barrel and not loose or dangling.     Players must employ barrel covers in all staging areas, safe areas, parking areas and when bringing their rental equipment to the front desk for service or to turn in.   Players who need to clean or work on their own equipment must visibly remove or disable any air system on their paintball marker before removing the barrel cover or barrel.

Mask & Barrel Cover Warnings:

 Players are given a total of two warnings for violating either the Mask or Barrel Cover safety rules. We strictly enforce these rules for ALL players.

- First violations of either the mask or barrel cover rules results in a verbal warning and a notice given to the front desk.

-- Second violation of either rule results in a verbal warning, notice given to the front desk and the player sitting out the next game, even if the next game is the last game of the day.

--  Third violation of either rule results in the player being eliminated from further play for the day.

  

On the Field

Out:

Players are considered “out” in these games under the following four circumstances:

 A paintball breaks anywhere on the player or his/her equipment.   A referee calls the player out for any reason.   A player calls “Hit!”, “Out!” or surrenders to another player regardless of whether a paintball broke on the player.  A player walks through the field with his/her marker pointed above his/her head regardless of  whether a paintball broke on the player

When a player is hit:

When a player gets hit by a paintball:

Get to a safe place where you won’t get hit again such as behind the "dead box" or tree. Check for broken paint.  If the paintball didn’t break, you are still a live player.  Keep playing. Call for a referee “Paint Check” if you cannot determine if a paintball broke on you.  If the paintball broke...Call loudly “Out!” or “Hit!”Put your barrel cover on and secure the elastic strap so that the cover is not loose or dangling. Walk off the field with your marker pointed above your head. Remember "Dead Men Don’t Talk"  – you may not talk to other players or give away positions as you leave the field or from the sidelines.

  No Blind-Fire:

A player who is “blind-firing” – that is shooting from behind a bunker without directly observing his/her target – may be called out by the referee. Blind fire may injure players, referees or spectators who may be in the target field and are not the intended targets. You must always look at  your target when you shoot.

 
 Equipment:
Rental Equipment:

Do not work on any rental equipment.  Bring any malfunctioning rental equipment to the front counter or a referee on the field and we will fix it or replace it.

We do not allow our rental equpment to be used with anything other than "Field Paint Only".
