Rules & Regulations
The Field Recreational Speedball Rules

 Decisions made by the referees/ judges are final.

We are a Semi Auto field only.  Ramping, Full Auto, Response Triggers, etc. will not be allowed at The Field.
 

Eliminations

 A player is out of the game if they are hit with a paintball and it breaks (leaving a mark).

If the paintball doesn't break or the paint on a player is found to be splatter, the player is not out of the game.  However, if the player calls themselves out they are out of the game regardless if the paintball broke or not.

Gun hits count.

If two or more players mark each other simultaneously, the referee will decide who is to be eliminated.

If a player steps out of bounds or leaves the start station early that player will be called out

If a player is wearing a Ghillie Suit and the referee sees paintballs disappearing into the suit, that player will be called out.

If a player is not sure if they've been marked, they must call for a 'paint check' from a referee.

To leave the game after elimination, the player must call themselves 'out' , hold their gun over their head, and go to the designated 'dead box' using the shortest, safest route.

Our Basic Rules of the Game

Maximum Paintball The Field runs variations of paintball games.  We cannot entertain requests from players for special activities that fall outside our paintball game description.

All players must sign a waiver or have a parent or legal guardian sign a waiver.  Players must be at least 10 years old.

There may be some target shooting in designated areas.  At no time will the 'target' be human or animal.

Standard duration of games is 10 minutes.

There is no physical interaction allowed between players.

Eliminated players are not allowed to speak or to shoot their guns.

Players must wear long pants.  Players may not wear shorts on the playing fields.  This rule is required by our insurance company.

Referees may freeze play for injury, hazard, emergency or other serious game problem.  The head ref will resume play with a 10 second countdown after notifying players of how much time is left in the game.

Players may carry a primary paintgun and a sidearm onto the fields.  A sidearm is considered to be a holster type gun holding less than 12 rounds powered by a 12 gram cartridge.

Players may carry multiple tanks onto the field as long as they remain with that player.

All games are unlimited paint unless designated by a referee.

There is no jumping on, jumping over, or moving of bunkers.

Do not shoot at the referees.

'Bunkering' (a form of up close play) will be disclosed upon entering the playing fields by the head ref of that field.  The head ref will observe the maturity and skill levels of the players beforehand in order to decide the allowance of bunkering.

Reminders!

There is no staging in the parking lot.

Trigger guards are required on paintguns.

Only referees are allowed to wipe off indirect splatter during a game.

 
Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Paintball is considered an 'honor' game.  Unfortunately, some players push the limits of good conduct so we must have the following rules in place.

Players are not allowed to discharge paintballs outside the playing area.

Anyone playing paintball without the proper wristband will be escorted out of the park and will have future playing privileges severely limited.

There is no excessive profanity or verbal abuse.

Overshooting, affectionately known as 'bonus balling' is not allowed.

'Dead Man Walks' are not allowed as this is considered a wussy move.

If a player is marked by a paintball and the referees see that person 'wipe' the hit off that player is called out of the game, warned about the infraction and the referee may call another player on that team out as well.  If a player becomes known as a 'wiper' they risk not being allowed to play at The Field.

If a player has been marked and is continuing to play, that player will be called out and warned.


 Don't leave your equipment unattended!  The Field is not responsible for lost or stolen items.  Returning rental equipment is your responsibility.  Be sure to lock your vehicle.

 

NEED A WAIVER?

WAIVER FOR ADULTS

WAIVER FOR MINORS

 

 
We highly recommend reading the manual that came with your gun so that you can make simple adjustments such as velocity changes and board settings.  Referees at The Field are not allowed to make these adjustments for you!
Prohibited Paintballs
The following paintballs are not allowed to be used at The Field:
-JT Recreational*
-JT Maxim*
-JT Elite*
-JT Tactical Assault*
-Monster Ball*
-Reaction*
-Impact*
-Demon Balls*
-Any paintballs from Walmart*
-Any paintball that has red fill**

*We have found that brands from Walmart and other cheaply made paintballs have longer than normal degradation periods.  In other words, it takes virtually forever for them to disintegrate and melt away.  This is not good for our grassy fields.  If we find other problematic paintballs, they will be added to this list.
**Paintballs with red fill are prohibited by our insurance company.


No, you can't carry two regular paintball guns out onto the playing field.  You can, however, use a sidearm such as a TPX or Kingman Chaser in addition to your standard paintgun.

Tournament Rules

Rules, Rules, and more Rules.  When we started out writing the rules for tournaments we intended it to be short and sweet.  When we started saying "What if this" and "What if that" we realized that our tournament rules would have to be more detailed.
