Shetland paintball club game rules 2005/2006
General Concept and Format.
The game is played between two teams consisting of no more than 7 players on each team. The objective of the game is to score points by eliminating opposition team players from the game by shooting them clearly with a paintball, anywhere on the body or equipment and by hanging the flag in the designated end zone. The field of play will be set out prior to the match and its boundaries must be adhered to during the match.
The objectives of capture the flag -game #1 –with no dead zone-
At the start of every came each team will start the match with an equal number of players (maximum 5 per team), if not a penalty will be brought onto the team with the short team. The match will begin when the marshals are happy that all safety requirements are met and both teams are ready. At the start of each game all players must have contact with the starting post with either there foot or hand and upon hearing the start signal will disperse into the area of play.
The objective is for each team to advance towards the flag and capture it, points will be given to the 1st team to capture the flag, once it has been captured your next objective is to raise it in your own end zone, if you have the flag and are shot you must drop it immediately, the flag cannot be thrown or taken to someone when you are dead, both will result in a penalty, the team without the flag must re capture it and return it to there own end zone. If you are shot you must stop firing and return to your end zone before you can re enter the game, failure to do so will result in disqualification from the match. The match will end when either the flag has been raised or the time limit has been reached (different points exist for this type of game and is only applicable if playing a timed game), or when the marshal sounds the stop signal.
The objectives of capture the flag -game #2 –with a dead zone-
The objectives are as of game #1 but the flag must be raised in your opponent’s end zone. And once shot you are out of the game and must go to the dead zone and remain inactive there till the end of the game.
The objectives of capture the base –game #3 –with no dead zone (timed)-
The match will begin when the marshals are happy that all safety requirements are met and both teams are ready. At the start of each game the attacking players must have contact with the starting post with either there foot or hand and upon hearing the start signal will disperse into the area of play.
The objective is for the attacking team to eliminate all players in the base within the time limit, once shot the players in the base will remain no combatant and may leave the base for the dead zone if practical. Attacking players if shot must return to the end zone to return back into the match. The game will end when the base has been captured, the time limit has been reached or on the marshals stop signal.
Hot shot range – game #4 Individual pistol event-
This game is for individuals and is played with pistols each player has 10 shots to hit the targets, the player with most hits wins, and in the event of a tie a play off will be played.
