AIRSOFT RULES

PAINTBALL RULES (below)

1. Keep your mask on when in the field of play. If you take your mask off before a game ends or before the all clear signal is given you are endangering yourself. Paintballs can cause serious injuries including blindness and death. Taking your mask off when your not allowed to will result in sitting out a game, second offense you’re done for the day. If you take your mask off while your being shot at you will be sat out for the rest of the day.
2. No arguing with the ref. If you have grievence talk to the head ref after the game, send us an email or give us call later on. We listen to feed back and care about what you think. However during a game a ref does not have time to debate a call with a player.
3. Only shoot in designated areas. You should only shoot your gun at the chrono area or during a game. At no time should anyone be shooting their gun in the dead box, parking area, or in some random area between games. In order to keep people safe we have to strictly control when and where guns can be fired. If you violate this rule you may be asked to leave the field without any warning.
4. Keep your barrel plug in at all times. Every gun must a barrel plug/bag covering the barrel. The cover should only be removed for game play or chrono. Anytime masks are off barrel plugs/bags should be on the gun 100% of the time. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not have a barrel sleeve the cost is $5. If you have a barrel plug it must fit your gun barrel snug.
5. No foul language. We are a Christian based company. We believe in treating others with respect on and off the field. You do not have to be a Christian to attend our events, but you do have to respect what we believe.
6. No alcohol, smoking, or drugs. You won’t play very good paintball if your drunk, can’t breath, or your high. Your also a risk to everyone else around you.
7. When you get shot, yell “I’m out” multiple times, VERY, VERY LOUD! Then put your barrel plug in, and hold your gun above your head as you get off the field as quickly as possible. When possible go around people engaged in a shootout, so you don’t get caught in the crossfire. DO NOT complain about being over shot if you do not precisely follow this rule.
8. No littering. Please be respectful and pick up after yourself. Please break down paintball boxes before throwing them away and place cans in the recycling trash can.
9. No stealing. If you find something laying around it probably belongs to someone. If one of your friends leaves something at the field talk with one of our staff before taking it home. If you leave the field with something that is not yours and that person accuses you of stealing, your the one that goes to JAIL!
10. Dead people don’t talk. If you get out you can’t tell your buddy where everybody is at. After your shoot, if you give anyone on your team additional information they out and you may be asked to sit the next game. Please do not stand in the dead box and coach players on your team, this is also prohibited.
11. No shooting the ref. Our refs play paintball and they understand the sometimes in the course of a game they will get hit. However our refs have the right to pull you if they deem shot them on purpose or out of carelessness.
12. No Cheating. Players caught wiping paintball marks off or playing through hits will be perminatly banned from the field. Using the defence “I didn’t feel it” or “I didn’t know I was hit” only works once or twice. We know that sometimes you don’t see and/or feel the hit, but if it’s happening all the time then your just cheating. Have integrity, don’t cheat the other player.
13. Check First. If you get hit by a paintball your expected to check yourself before you shoot another ball. If you stop shooting the moment you get hit, then if the other person is hit you may be permitted to stay in the game because you probably got the other person first. This is at a ref discretion. If a ref calls you clean the ref will also wipe the hit. Players should never wipe a hit off themselves.
14. 300 Feet Per Second. We spot check on a regular basis and there’s nothing wrong with calling for a chrono check on a player you think is shooting hot. If we catch you turning your velocity up in the middle of the game to above 300 FPS you’ll most likely be banned from our fields for life.
15. No hiding props. You can’t stuff a flag down your pants, in a pod pack, or underneath your shirt. Unless specifically given permission you cannot move an object that your are defending (i.e. cover it with leaves, put it in the corner). Nobody wants to touch a prop that has been in direct contact with part of sweaty body.
16. Bonus Balling. Because guns shoot up to 15 paintballs in a second, when a player is eliminated during a game they are usually hit 2-3 times or more. Bonus balling is shooting someone more then what is necessary. This is usually obvious when it happens and is at the ref’s discretion to call. If we think you’re bonus balling someone on purpose, you’ll be permanently banned from our fields. Players generally don’t want to shoot or even aim at people that are already out. It is the eliminated players job to make sure the opposing team know that they are not an active player.
17. Sportsmanship. We are a Christian based company and we ask that you respect what we believe in your attitude towards others. Additionally if you act threaten or rude towards other players you’ll be asked to leave.
18. Players must leave the field with all the equipment they brought on the field. If you leave paintballs or equipment on the field of play Big Pearl Paintball is not responsible for an lose or damage.
19. Players are not allowed to bring other players anything during a game.
20. You CANNOT physically tackle/hold/trip an opposing player.
21. A barrel tap is considered a knife kill and is done by gently touching an opposing player with the end of your barrel to eliminate them. You cannot barrel tap someone on the head or neck because it raises the risk of knocking of their mask. Barrels can be taken off a gun in order to barrel tap.
22. 15 Balls Per Second (BPS) limit. We do not allow full auto. Limiting the rate of fire (ROF) is one way to ensure safer game play. The higher ROF/BPS the more expensive it is to play.
23. No Climbing on the outside of buildings.
24. No claiming to be a ref. If you indicate that your a ref in order to gain a competitive advantage you will be band from our fields.
25. No blocking. Players cannot use other players to block paintballs. This is a tricky rule because often players run in a group when charging a position. We are more specifically talking about players using refs or players that have clearly been eliminated to block in coming paintballs. This is cheating and players caught blocking for other players or using players/refs to block opposing players shots will be asked to leave the field.
26. Paintball grenades are allowed as well as rocket launchers. All launchers by be chrono’d before use. Rocket launchers should never be fired directly at an oppossing player. Any non-standard paint grenade or any paintball landmine must be inspected by the head ref.
27. No smoke grenades unless they are specifically approved by the head ref. No fire based grenades will be allowed due to the danger of a forest fire.
28. No firecrackers.
29. No knifes longer then 3 inches are permitted at the field.
30. No real firearms, unless you are law inforcement or staff.
31. No open fires.
32. No camping at the field unless given specific written permission.
