Safety Rules :
All players and spectators MUST follow all safety and game rules
without exception. Any violation of the rules will result in that
player or spectator being ejected for the field of play and/or
premises. Greenwood Lake Sports offers no refund for those ejected for
failure to follow the rules, so be forewarned.
Greenwood Lake Sports reserves the right to refuse admisson to any person deemed to be a risk to others or themselves or for any other reason as determined by the staff or owners.
Prior to the start of play, all players are given a comprehensive
orientation by one of our highly trained paintball referees. All
rules will be thoroughly explained and any questions answered.
Each player renting equipment will be shown how to properly and
safely operate that equipment.
An outline of the rules is listed
below:
- Approved Full Face Mask/Goggle Systems must be worn at all
times past the neutral area or when testing or chronoing your
marker at the target range. Players may not remove their goggles
at any time unless instructed by a referee. Any violation is
grounds for immediate ejection from the premises. Players ejected for violating the goggle rule are not eligible for refunds or readmission.
- No shooting into or out of the registration area, picnic area,
neutral zones, or parking areas. All guns must have barrel blocking
devices (barrel plug or barrel cover) in place while
in these areas. If you do not have a barrel cover, one can be purchased in the store.
- Do not shoot the wildlife, automobiles, store, trailers, etc.
- No climbing of trees or on top of structures.
- No physical contact with any other player or referee. Fighting
with other players or staff will result in the police being called
and the offending persons arrested.
- No potentially dangerous gear. Players may not bring any form
of tools onto the playing field. No types of firearms, pyrotechnics,
or explosives are allowed. If you want to shoot or blow things
up, the military is always looks for bodies. The game site operator
must approve all personal equipment and can ban anything they
deem necessary.
- No alcohol or illegal drugs are allowed on the premises during
play.
- No verbal abuse of other players or staff is allowed.
- Do not attempt to remove the power sources or any parts from
the rental guns. If your gun malfunctions, please notify a referee
immediately and they will ensure you get a new one.
- All players are required to check the velocity of their personal paintball markers
to ensure that they are not shooting above the field limit of
280 FPS. Players are not permitted to make any adjustment of
the velocity of their guns while on the playing field. Any gun
shooting over the field limit will not be permitted on the playing
fields.
- Judges decisions are final. Any argument with a judge will
result in a player being ejected from the playing field.
- Spectators must wear a paintball goggle and face mask
unless they are behind a safety netting that has passed safety
tests. The spectators must be 2 feet back from the netting and
not be leaning against it.
- All guns must be set in semi-auto mode only on the field of
play. Turbo, burst, full-auto, and zip modes
are prohibited. Tippmann Response Triggers are permitted for use.
- Eliminated players must raise their hands above their head,
place their barrel blocking device on thier guns, and immediately
exit the playing field. Players may also yell out "I'm Hit" or "I'm
Out" so that others are aware of their elimination and will
not consider them a live target.
- No player may fire upon a player once they have been eliminated
and have expressed the elimination by placing their hands above
their head and/or signal "I'm Hit" or "I'm Out".
- Any player who continues to play on with an obvious hit (ie:
cheats) will be removed from the game and forced to sit out the
following game.
- Players may request "paintchecks" on other players
or themselves if they believe they are hit. Referees will make
the call as to whether the player is eliminated or not.
- Fields are marked with boundary tape. Any player who goes outside
the boundary of the playing field is eliminated for that game.
- Players may not fire point blank at another player. At close
range, the opposing player should be given the option to surrender.
