1) I will read and follow the rules - staying well with in their boundaries.
2) When I feel a hit, I will cease firing and promptly check myself. If hit, I will call my self out, and quickly exit
the game as to cause minimal disruption. If possible and not disruptive to the game, I will congratulate my
opponent on his efforts if due. I will NOT wipe paint or continue playing on once I feel a hit.
3) When I shoot an opponent and see a ball break or hear a ball hit, I will immediately cease firing and
advancing, and give the person a moment to call it. After a few seconds, I will politely tell the person where
I saw the ball break (or tell him I heard it hit). If the person continues to play on I will not lower my
standards - I will simply continue to press my attack.
4) Once I am eliminated, I will clearly call my self out, hold my gun UP, and exit the area quickly and in the
least disruptive manner possible. I will then plug my gun and continue to hold it up as to signal out as I exit
the field or return to the spawn area. During this time, I will not communicate to active players on the field.
5) Under no circumstances will I intentionally overshoot an opponent or shoot as to injure as opponent (groin,
throat, temple, unprotected ear, ladies breast)
6) When I encounter an opportunity with a young, elderly or novice opponent, I will extend that player
additional courtesy. (go for surrender, hopper shot, goggle shot, pack shot, or just move on to more
challenging targets)
7) When I encounter a young, elderly or novice allied player, I will be patient with that player and inspire
them by my example.
8) If I see an unmasked player (or spectator) on the playing field, I will immediate cease all actions that may
endanger the unprotected individual. I will advise the player (or spectator) in question to PUT THEIR MASK
ON. If they immediately comply, then I play on. If not, I plug my marker, yell CEASE FIRE, try to protect
the player with my body, and then politely remove him from the playing field. The refs should take care of
these issues, but as players we occasionally MUST step in for the good of the game.
9) I will use common sense at all times.
10) In person, and online, I will avoid flaming, condescending remarks, and actions that could possibly be
construed as unsportsmanlike. Winning and losing are not excuses for poor sportsmanship. Be a gracious
winner and a good loser. HOW you play and HOW you handle yourself are far more important than the outcome.
11) If a situation degenerates into unsportsmanlike conduct, I will remove myself or otherwise avoid the situation.
12) I will not drink alcohol or use illegal drugs while playing the game as these can alter my judgment and
physical abilities.
13) I will avoid using profane language in all instances.
14) At field paint only event, I will only shoot field paint.
15) If I think my marker is spiking, I will immediately pull myself from the game and address it. Furthermore,
I will not intentionally perform actions that cause my gun to spike its velocity while playing. I will regularly
chronograph my marker at every practical opportunity.
16) I will treat my marker as if it were loaded at all times. I will NEVER aim my marker at an unmasked
player or unmasked spectator - loaded, or unloaded.
17) I will keep my markers bagged when in public and not in use.
18) I will not shoot public traffic signs, cars, pedestrians, pets, houses, lights, chronographs, buildings
etc. that are not part of a paintball field and on the field of play.
19) I will encourage new players to try the game of paintball and will treat them with respect.
20) I will not use eliminated players, spectators, or refs as physical cover.
21) I understand that as a guest of, or member of, [ team name here ], that I represent [ team name here ] in
my actions, and that I am therefore held accountable by the team.
22) I understand that paintball is a game of honor, and I will play it that way.
