Rancid walks over to the counter to get his equipment and is handed a book of rules. Where is Yeti? He is nowhere to be found. He asks if he can take the equipment for his best man and the salesperson says that’s fine. He walks outside and there is Yeti coming towards him.
“Yeti where did you go?” asks Rancid. “I turned around to look for you and you were nowhere in sight, so here is your equipment. He also gave us the rules and we have to all look it over before we start.”
‘Rules - A minimum of one person is to be designated as the Referee for each Paintball game. The Referee will be the one who starts the game, stops the game for paint checks, decides the issues that may arise and who ends the game.
“I’ll volunteer to be the Referee and we can change later,” says Yeti. “Where did they go?”
The guys are so excited that half of them already went outside and started without listening to all the rules. Yeti walks outside as he continues to read the rules.
‘A player is out of the game if he/she is hit by a marking pellet (paintball) and it breaks on him, this includes his clothing, gun or equipment. It doesn’t matter whether the player is shot by an opposing player or a teammate (friendly fire). When a player is marked he/she is to immediately call themselves “OUT or HIT”. She/he must then hold their gun over their head, continue to call out “OUT or HIT” and leave the playing field by the shortest and safest route.
BLIND FIRING is not allowed. Do not fire if you can’t see what you are firing at. Many players are tempted to stick their guns out from behind a barricade and fire, which can lead to accidentally shooting players who are leaving the field, referees, or other things you shouldn’t shoot at.
If two or more players mark each other simultaneously, both players are eliminated. Under most conditions both players must be eliminated. If there is a question as to whether a player has been marked, call for a “Paint Check”, that’s what the Referee is for. When a Paint Check is called the game comes to a stop, all players remain where they are until the Referee clears the problem and restarts the game.
Most games run 15 to 30 minutes, with 20 minutes being the average. The Referee will be the one who keeps track of the time. By setting time limits you make for a more aggressive game. If no one wins, who cares, go on to the next game and try some new strategy. Have Rest Periods between games.’ (Source)
The guys are having so much fun. Look at all the paint on them! The half hour goes fast. What a blast! Yeti tells them that now they have to go to the sports bar to eat and watch the game.
Let’s continue - At the sports bar!
