Safety

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

We would like you return home with the same amount of eyes as before the game. So in any circumstances DO NOT TAKE AWAY a mask when you are in the game field or in the zones where shooting is possible. 

Remember that in paintball you may shoot only those people who may shoot you; do not shoot to judges, eliminated players or spectators. Do not shoot when you are beyond the borders of the field or shooting gallery. 

Ball’s speed may not be higher that 90 meters per seconds, it is sufficient speed to make bruise if you shoot form the short distance. Therefore do not shoot if the distance is shorter that 5 meters: on short distances you can capture your adversary or, in extremis, shoot to the shoes.  

Any physical contact is prohibited on the field as paintball is not wrestling; if you prefer fighting, return your guns and go away. Plying is prohibited if persons have any other guns, are drunk or intoxicated with drugs. Abuse or unrepeatable words are not welcomed as well. Use protectors of barrel when leaving the field. It is the main requirement before you leave the field; you may take off the mask only when you are outside the borders of the field. 

ELIMINATION 

Player is eliminated from the game if: 

• - on his body or on any other part of equipment (hand, leg, body, mask, marker) there are paint spot;
• - players are beyond the borders of the field.
• - player declares himself as eliminated;
• - player is eliminated by decision of judge.  

GAMES ACTIONS

Often happens that a ball bounces without burst, therefore check carefully if it has left a spot or ask your friend or judge to check. If you are splashed by a ball burst on the shelter, ask a judge to clean paint otherwise drops will make a spot and you will be eliminated. 

If you are eliminated, leave the field despite the fact that there is no paint on you.  

Eliminated player must loudly scream “AAAAAAAAA”, raise a hand, wait for shooting stops and then leave the field using the shortest way (or a way indicated by a judge).  Eliminated player may not give his equipment nor talk: as captain Flint used to say, “dead do not bite”. 

If you faced any technical problems, contact technician; if you faced any problems during the game (your mask sweated; marker does not function, etc.), contact judge. If your balls or gas have finished, you may proclaim yourself as eliminated or continue a game. 

We would like to remind once more: DO NOT TAKE AWAY A MASK on the field or in the shooting zones.
