Here are some of the basic rules for paintballs games at Fun On The Run Paintball Park
Safety First
Two of the most important rules of any paintball games are the Goggle On Rule and the Barrel Safety Cover.
Goggle On
Always, ALWAYS keep your goggles on while not in a protected area. Paintball is an inherently safe sport as long as the required safety equipment is worn during play. Virtually the only way a paintball can injure you is if you are hit in the eyes. We require that everyone not in a protected area keep his or her goggles on AT ALL TIMES. All of our rental goggles also include complete ear and face protection. If your goggles fog up, you are not allowed to remove them to clean them. You must keep your goggles on at all times. If you need assistance, call for a referee. Players removing goggles on the field will be pulled from the game and could result in ejection from the park.
Barrel Bags/ Barrel Covers
Barrel Covers MUST be in the barrel of your paint marker AT ALL TIMES when you are not playing a game or are in a safe zone. This is a safety measure to prevent accidental discharge of paintballs in an area where players are without eye protection.
Elimination from the game
You are eliminated from the game if you are hit by a paintball on any part of your body (including the marker, packs, harnesses or goggles), and the hit leaves a mark the size of a quarter or larger. Splatter and marks smaller than a quarter (as well as bounces) do not count as elimination, but if splatter accumulates to an elimination-sized mark, you are eliminated from that game.
If you are eliminated from play, immediately signal the referees and opposing players by yelling "HIT!" or "OUT!" and raising your hand above your head. Opposing players should immediately cease fire on that player. Once you can safely exit the field of play, move toward the field exit and place your barrel plug in your marker. Point your marker in the air and one hand over your head as you exit the field. Players still alive MUST NOT fire on any player exhibiting the above signs of elimination.
Any player exhibiting the signs of elimination IS ELIMINATED. You cannot say "I'm hit" and then after you realize it didn't break, turn around and keep playing. Once you say you're hit, players will stop shooting at you and move on. If you are suddenly back in the game, it's not fair to them because they may now be in a bad spot. Once you say you're out, you are out. There will be other games.
Once you are out of the game, you are not allowed to signal or talk to any active player or otherwise relay any information about the ongoing game, including positions of players, number of players, positions or status of flag stations, etc. "ELIMINATED PLAYER’S DON'T TALK" is the key phrase here.
20 Foot Rule
To avoid having player's fire at each other from close range, we prefer everyone use the 20 foot rule
This means:
If you are within 20 feet of an opposing player and have an obvious elimination shot, ask them to surrender.
If you are within 20 feet of an opposing player who asks you to surrender, please do so. You will have lots of other chances to play.
However, a player who is asked to surrender does have the choice to continue playing.
Park Staff /Judges
Judges are on the field to enforce rules of play, start and stop games, assist guests with equipment, and help the players in any way possible. Judges have the final ruling in elimination's and rule enforcement. Judges will instruct players at the beginning of each session as to the rules.(which may change from time to time) Paintball is just a game but it's not a fun game when people break the rules. Please refrain from playing after you're hit, wiping off paint, shooting at close range, etc. You will be eliminated from the game for breaking rules. You may be asked to leave if it becomes a habit. Always follow the judges' instructions both on and off the field - they are there for your safety. Anyone found intentionally shooting a field judge would be ejected for the rest of the day.
Do I have Bad Manners?
If so this is probably not the right sport for you. We are a family establishment, So leave your bad manners and bad language at home. You can and will be removed from a game if you cannot control your language. You can be asked to leave if it is a severe problem. There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for any player physically hitting, fighting, grabbing, or "lighting up" another player on the field. Any player acting in this manner will immediately be removed from the field and told to leave without a refund. Please remember that paintball is just a game. Please inform the staff of any players who break the rules. Absolutely NO ALCOHOL will be allowed on the premises. Anyone found consuming alcohol or found to be intoxicated would be denied further play. Paintball and Alcohol do not mix.
