What are some rules that govern paintball?
Since there are too many rules, and these rules often change among fields, it is impossible to include an accurate list. However, there are a few rules that are commonly adhered to in Paintball. If the ball hits, breaks and marks any player’s body, marker, or equipment in a complete splat the size of a dime, that player is eliminated. Points are accumulated for eliminations, flag possession, flag hangs, and sometimes for time remaining in the game. Once a player is marked, he or she must call themselves “out” and leave the field or ask a referee to assist in determining if the paint mark is large enough to warrant elimination. For safety reasons, goggles must never be removed while playing. Goggle removal usually results in penalty points or the automatic elimination of the player.
