BARREL TAG RULE: Once a player touches you with a barrel and says “barrel tag,” you are eliminated and MUST take the walk. Do not HIT a player with your barrel! A gentle tap will do! A barrel tag must be made on one player at a time, with the words “barrel tag” being said each time by the attacker. Once you have been barrel tagged you must leave the area immediately without talking or showing any indication that you have been barrel tagged to give away the players position. Failure to do so will result in a judge punch on your player card. Barrels must be attached to a marker or you may use a pistol as well.

COMMANDERS: Each side will have a Commander that will be in charge of building his/her own leadership group. They have complete control of their side. The Commander may go anywhere on the field that they choose to. They may be required to lead missions, to hold meetings, or to sacrifice their life for the good of the cause. The only time Commanders are worth points will be when they are included in a mission.

COMMAND POST: If you are wearing your tape and are within 50 ft of your Command Post you are safe from elimination by any player wearing the same color as you are. You may only be eliminated by a player wearing the enemy tape. At no time are you allowed in the enemies Command Post.

COMMUNICATION: Dead men do not talk!!!! If you have been eliminated you must wait until you are in the dead box to either talk or use your radio.

Spectators are not to yell to players on field.

FINAL: Final battle will be one-half hour long, with constant insert. There will be zero tolerance for players shooting at an unreasonable fps during the final battle. Refs will be spot checking during the final battle with handheld virtue chronos and have final say over what is deemed shooting at an unreasonable fps. If you are found shooting hot you will be done for the day. If at any time during game play you hear referees yelling stand down, put your markers on the ground, hands off the trigger, and take a knee.

If you lose your ID badge you must see the game producer before you will be allowed back on the field.

GAME PLAY: 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 2 pm on Sunday, with the final battle starting at 2:45.

GENERAL SCENARIO GAME RULES: Game rules made for a specific game will take precedence over the General Game Rules

HIGH SEAS BATTLE: Any good pirate knows they have to control the high seas. Throughout the weekend you will receive missions to report to the high seas (the speedball field). The number or type of players will be indicated on the mission cards when received. It is an elimination battle, last player standing wins 2 the points for their side. You must arrive by quarter after the top of the hour, the battle will start at 20 minutes after the hour with whoever is ready to go. If one side is there on time and the other side does not show the side that is present will be awarded the points for the high seas battle for that hour. Winner of the high seas battle earns an extra “shot” to Sink the Armada.

HPA FILLS: High Pressure Nitrogen fills (4500psi) will be available during the entire course of play. There will be no facilities to recharge constant air bottles on the field of play, nor in the parking lot. Due to insurance regulations, no outside fill stations (CO2 / Nitrogen) will be allowed on event property. All constant air bottles must meet hydrostat requirements. No bottles will be filled that are out of date PERIOD. It is the player’s responsibility to make sure their tanks are not out of date. All bottles MUST have all stickers (non-factory) removed from them to allow fill station operators to INSPECT the bottle for hidden damage. Bottles with stickers (non-factory) will not be filled. Bottles that event management deems damaged will not be filled, PERIOD… No exceptions.

INSERTIONS: This game is constant insertion. When inserting you must touch your base before you are a live player and then you may remove your barrel sock. You may only insert from your insertion point. Inserting anywhere other than at your insertion point will be considered cheating and is grounds for immediate expulsion from the game with no refund. There will be a designated zone around the insertion points marked with orange that an opposing player cannot enter. A hot insert may be utilized at producer’s discretion. A referee will accompany the players being inserted and “release” them at once. The insertion point will be located at the far west end of the field. Like the regular insert, there will be a “no go” zone (only in play during a hot insert, not at any other time) where you can shoot into the insert but you cannot cross the line designating the zone. The players hot inserted will have 5 minutes where they can re-insert by touching the cone provided. After that time players must return to their normal insertion point. **Remember to switch bases at the start of Sunday**

MISSIONS: The commanders are in charge of making sure they report to the game producers tent each hour to receive their missions. If both commanders are there 5 minutes before the hour the missions will be handed out early. If only one is there that commander must wait until the top of the hour to receive their mission packet and the other commander will get theirs when they report. Your side has one hour from the receipt of the mission card to finish said mission (unless stated otherwise). Failure to do so will result in mission failure. Timed missions do not start until the mission card is signed off by a referee that the mission has started. The timed mission is not completed unless signed off by a referee as well. You cannot lose a mission card if you are eliminated.

TYPES OF MISSIONS: Assault: Means you must either shoot the objective more than once with a marker or clear the objective. If there is a time period of the assault you must then continue to assault for that length of time. 3 Clearing: You will have a specific mission where you need to clear a building. It must be cleared using a prop grenade (provided to your commander by game staff) thrown underhand at the objective. Prop grenades can only be used once. A referee MUST have a visual to confirm completion. Defend: You must keep the objective out of the enemy’s hands for a length of time. Patrol: You must be actively patrolling from one objective or point to another objective or point to complete this mission. You may only have to do it once or it may be for a specified time. Sweep and Clear: You must go to the objective and clear out the entire enemy in the area. Take and Hold: You must go to the objective, clear out the enemy and hold the objective for a specified time. Recon and Report: You must physically view what is going on. You will need a referee to verify the information you will report back to your base. Retrieve: You must go to the objective, find the object and bring it to where you are instructed to bring it. Treasure Hunt: You will receive a mission card and will have to follow directions like on a treasure map to retrieve your objective. If you have to dig for said treasure, only event approved items can be used for such purpose.

ON FIELD SAFETY: Goggles must be ASTM full face approved with ear protection. You must wear your goggles on your face at all times on the field unless you are in a designated dead box. Netted dead boxes will be set up behind your insertion where you may take your goggles off and clean them. This is the only place you may remove your goggles! No paintball markers are allowed in this area and must be left outside the netted area. You must wear your goggles while in the chronograph station. Barrel socks/condoms must be used for both markers and Laws while off field. Barrel plugs are not allowed.

PETS: No pets are allowed period (other than possible field owner’s pets).

PLAYER REFS: There will be player refs on the field. These players will be chosen by the game producer.

Player refs cannot sign off on any mission. 4

PROHIBITED BEHAVIOR: Physical contact with another player is strictly forbidden. Any such behavior may get you ejected from the game with no refund. PROPS: There will be several props on the field for you to collect for points. Any props on the field that are mission specific will be marked as such with a blue or red band. All other props are fair game and must be returned to the producer for points. If you remove a prop that is mission specific and not your color points will be deducted.

RADIOS: No one is allowed to monitor, jam or talk on the referee channel. Anyone caught monitoring; jamming or talking on the referee channel will be ejected from the game immediately with no refund.

REGISTRATION: Pre-registration is very important for the event producers to know how much paint and supplies to order. Once you arrive at the field, proceed to the registration area to sign in and pick up your player’s packet and any paint you may wish to purchase.

SINK THE ARMADA: Each side will be attempting to sink the other side’s armada (think Battleship). Each commander will place their ships before game on and give to producer who will have the master sheet and indicate whether there is a hit or miss when shots are fired.

There will also be opportunities for each side through mission completion to earn additional “moves.” Each commander will place their ships (there will be a 2 shot ship, two 3 shot ships, one 4 shot and one 5 shot). Sinking each ship will result in 10 points for each shot it takes to sink that ship. The first one to sink the other side’s entire armada will be awarded an additional 100 points.
