Rules to play Paint Ball

11. No Guns in the Neutral Zone
The Neutral Zone is safe because no guns are allowed inside they are left on racks outside. If you have a problem with your gun, just ask a marshal for some help and they will sort it out.
12. Getting Shot
A pellet has to hit you, break open and mark you to count as a kill. The following dont count A pellet hits an object first and paint sprays onto you. A pellets hits you and bounces off (always check yourself before you say you are out.)The following do count A direct shot that hits you anywhere on your body, gun or goggles and leaves a splat of paint counts.Being shot by your own team is very common and counts.If you do get shot (virtually everyone will get shot at some stage) you simply hold your gun up in the air and walk out to dead zone (an area outside of the playing area where you wait until the end of the game and watch how the game progresses).Dont walk through the playing area, with your arms by your side, mumbling about being shot you will get shot again.
13. Surrendering
Shooting someone in the back from point blank range will cause a lot of pain and make you very unpopular. The sporting thing to do is to ask them to surrender if they dont then shoot them.Surrendering only works when you sneak up behind a lone opponent unnoticed. If you are in a face to face fire fight they are not going to surrender and nor are you. Jumping into a wooden hut containing three opponents shouting surrender doesnt work. You will get shot at close range.
14. Neutral Player
A marshal will occasionally shout Players is Neutral. This simply means that the player they are standing by pointing at is out of the game for a short time and should not be shot at. The player may have a gun goggles problem or the marshal may need to check if they have been shot. The player may well be put back in the game, so dont assume that they are out.
15. Dead Players Dont Talk
When you have been shot, you are out of the game and you cannot talk to your team (or give false information to the opposition). Some games, such as in the Trenches, we positively encourage vocal input from the sidelines as it really adds to the atmosphere of the game. The marshals will tell you when you can give information in from the side lines.
16. Minimum Age
Eleven year olds and over can play paintball, however we generally advise 13 years and over because of the following A group of paintball players ready to start Most games are open sessions meaning several groups are mixed together. Groups tend to come from a variety of backgrounds such as stag groups, sports clubs, hen dos, birthday parties and groups of friends. If your group of 11 year olds is mixed with a group of 30 year old rugby players they may feel a bit intimidated. If you think your young ones will cope, then great they will be welcome to come along. If they are on the delicate side or may be offended by a bit of colourful language it may be better to wait a few years or come along on a Young Guns Day.

The gun is a heavy bit of kit (gun, gas bottle and hopper filled with paint pellets). Smaller children can find it difficult to carry, aim and shoot, let alone run. The pellets are fired at around 200 miles per hour. When you are hit by a pellet it can be painful, especially when shot at close range. Older children tend to be able to cope with being shot, younger slighter children can find it unpleasantly painful. The pellets may also leave a bruise that can last for a couple of weeks.Any player who is over 11 years and less than 16 years will need to bring along a letter of consent (download) from their parents to say that they have permission to play Paintball.. Alternatively if a parent drops their child off they can counter-sign the player sign-in sheet to acknowledge they have given permission.

17. Marshals Decision is Final
Marshals prepare, organise and run the Paintball day. They will take teams out to the playing areas and brief them on the objectives and rules of each game. They also act as referees during each game. As with any sport, the referees decision is final and they should not be argued with.
18. Know the story well
One flag is placed directly center of the playing field (this step is not important) this method of one flag is fun because it is much more of a challenge then Neutral Capture The flag because neither side has much of an advantage .

20. Safety Precautions
1. Paint guns must have a barrel blocking device (plug) inserted in barrel at all times, except while on the playing field. In case your gun has CO2 leakage, avoid coming into contact with the gas. CO2 has a freezing temperature (-76 C
