PARK SAFETY RULES
All players must read and follow these important guidelines. The purpose of these rules is to ensure safe play and sustain the level of organization and sportsmanship necessary to keep paintball a positive, enjoyable activity. Participants will be restricted from play and may be made to exit the premises for violating any of these safety rules. Park rules include, but are not limited to:
- Listen to and follow the field staff. Do not argue a referee’s decision; do not distract his or her attention from the game.
- Eye Protection: All "goggles-on" areas are identified by "goggles-on" signs. While in these areas, Approved Eye Protection (designed for paintball) MUST be worn by all persons at ALL times. Approved eye protection shall meet or exceed the ASTM guidelines and require .06 lexan lenses positively secured within frames, secured to the head with a head band, and fully enclosing the eye cavity. Both the goggle and the mask must me unmodified. No cut-outs, cutaways, no compromises, no excuses. Rolling up flexible masks is unacceptable. Ear protection is required. All original pins, screws, clips, etc. must be in place. No cracked, painted, or otherwise modified lenses. All the same standards apply to spectators and everyone with access to a “goggles-on” area. Players are not permitted to remove goggles when leaving the playing field. Goggles must remain on until players reach a “safe-zone” (marked by a “Safe Zone" sign). If your mask comes off in a goggles-on zone immediately cover your eyes and yell, “Blind Man!” until the game is stopped by a referee. If you hear “Blind Man!” being called immediately put your marker down and repeat the call over and over until the game has been stopped by a referee.
- Smoking is not allowed in, on, or around the paintball course. There will be no smoke grenades, smoke bombs, or any other smoke or heating generating devices allowed on the premises.
- No shooting into or out of the parking area, staging area and neutral zones, or at any objects outside of the Paintball Park. Approved barrel blocking device use is mandatory in these areas. Plugs, squeegees, sticks, stuffed animals/toys, rags, etc. are not proper barrel blocking devices and are not permitted.
- Shooting is permitted only during games when on the field, or in a designated area i.e. target range, chronograph. Do not shoot at wildlife on the field.
- Do not litter, vandalize or behave in an unsafe manner. Do not “blind fire,” do not climb trees, do not move, tamper, or climb in/on field structures. Do not encourage unsafe play.
- Person(s) who engage in confrontational arguing, use abusive language, and/or threaten physical violence will be asked to leave the premises with no refund.
- Potentially dangerous gear (such as firearms, pyrotechnics and explosives) is prohibited. Personal paintball equipment must be approved by the game site operator or his/her representative.
- Illegal drugs, Marijuana, and Alcohol are not allowed on the premises. Participants that are believed to have consumed alcohol or drugs before arriving to the facility will not be allowed to participate and will be asked to leave without refund.
- Making aggressive physical contact, arguing/fighting with another player, staff, or participant poses a safety hazard and will not be tolerated.
- Pump and semi-automatic markers only. Ramping, 3-Round Burst, and Fully Auto are prohibited. All markers must be locked in the semi-auto position. Markers may not exceed the maximum limit of 300 FPS (feet per second).
- Manually adjustable velocity regulators (any system not requiring a tool for adjustment) are prohibited. Markers may not exceed the maximum limit of 300 FPS (feet per second). No tools are allowed on the field during play with the exception of barrel squeegees.
- Do not attempt to remove the power source or other parts from rental markers, and do not tamper with the rental goggle/face mask system.
- Paintball “hits” are indicated when a player receives a “mark” of paint from one shot. “Splatter” marks do not constitute a hit. The ball must hit and break on the player. If you are unsure judgment will be determined by a referee. Other signs of elimination include: Yelling the word “hit”, or lifting your marker and/or free hand over your head. Once eliminated you must install your barrel blocking device and proceed in a quick manner to the staging area, holding your marker straight up into the air and yelling: “Hit”, “I’m out”, “I have been eliminated”, and/or, “Dead man coming through”.
- Field boundaries are clearly marked and will be briefed prior to the start of play. Crossing boundaries is not permitted and if determined to be the case, will eliminate the player from the game.
- First Aid – A first aid kit is available at the Registration Counter. If you are injured notify the official immediately and proceed to the Counter.
- Youth ages 5-17 must have an adult sign the consent waiver and rules forms here.
- Paint Policy: You may use your own paint as long it’s on the approved paint list. Approved brands are GI Sportz, Empire, Valken, HK Army, and D3fy. Failure to comply with these rules will result in being asked to leave the premises for the remainder of the day and will receive no refund.
- Open-play hours are subject to change without prior notice and/or refund.
VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THESE RULES CAN RESULT IN YOUR REMOVAL FROM THE GAME AND/OR THE PREMISES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME DETERMINED BY THE PARK OWNER OR HIS/HER REPRESENTATIVE.
