General Rules

1. In each game a minimum of one person is elected as the Referee. His function is starting the game, stopping the game for paint checks, deciding the issues that may arise and ending the game. The Referee should have a whistle to make signals to start, to stop and to end the game.

2. If the player is hit by a paintball (marking pellet) and it breaks on him (his clothing, gun or equipment) he must left the game. He is «dead». It doesn’t matter whether the player is shot by a opposing player or a teammate (friendly fire). When a player is hit she or he have to instantly call themselves «out or deadman». The «killed» player must hold his gun over his head, continues to call out «out or deadman» and leaves the playing field by the shortest route.

3. If the paintball didn’t break when it hit the player it is not a killing shot and the player keeps alive. The strike by a splatter from a marking pellet is not considered as hit and the player continues the game. Sometimes players think that they were shot and start to call themselves «deadman», they left the field and after they discover that they are clean — but it’s too late, they can’t return into the game.
