12. MASKS
Masks must be worn at ALL times on the field and in "neutral" zones, that is, outside the safety nets. Your monitor will always indicate the circumstance and place where you can safely remove your mask.
13. SHOOTING LOCATION
DO NOT SHOOT OUTSIDE THE PLAYING AREA. If you want to test your equipment, you must ask the Monitor to direct you to a safe area to do so. It is PROHIBITED to shoot outside the field and this applies to any other area outside the nets on the playing field.

16. DISTANCE
DO NOT SHOOT FROM AT LEAST 5 METERS AWAY.
In 68 caliber markers, paintballs are fired at an average speed of about 300 km/hour and can cause serious injuries. If the distance between two players is less than 5 meters, increase the distance or choose not to shoot, asking the opposing player to surrender. Don't shoot!
17. UNNECESSARY SHOTS:
Always look at your target and don't shoot if you can't see what you're going to hit. Many players are tempted to shoot the markers without often knowing where they are hitting. These accidental shots could very well hit other players who are leaving the field or even the monitors who are monitoring the session. If you can't see where you hit, don't shoot!
18. SET LIMITS
Before any game starts, the Monitor will show the field where you are going to play, make sure you know the limits of the field and do not move or rearrange the obstacles on the field.
19. NEUTRAL ZONES
Make sure your MONITOR identifies the location of the NEUTRAL zone (or test area). The NEUTRAL zone is an area outside the field where people go after being eliminated. This is also usually where paintball equipment and extra paintballs are left between games. The neutral zone is an area that is in or near the playing area and is a safe zone where you can watch or leave your equipment ready.
20. OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME
Make sure you know and that your colleagues understand the objectives of the game. If you don't understand, ask your Monitor for help to explain again. You should not enter the field without understanding the objectives in a clear and concise way.
21. PLAYING TIME
Most games last an average of 10 minutes. We usually take a longer break between games, take advantage of this period to hydrate, clean your mask or equipment from shots during the game and recharge with extra balls if necessary.
22. TEAMS
Divide into fair teams. If you have colleagues who are new to this sport, try to pair them with more experienced players. We remember that the first objective is for everyone to have fun, even before who wins or loses the game.
23. START OF THE GAME
The game starts when both teams are fixed in their bases. The Monitor will ask each team if they are ready and blow the whistle to start. Make sure you are heard when the Monitor asks this question and that you are actually ready to start playing.
24. SHOTS
A player is hit if a paintball leaves a solid mark anywhere on the player's body or equipment. A player is out of the game if he is hit by a paintball and it breaks on him, this includes clothing, marker, mask, vest or gloves.
NEVER SHOT A REFEREE OR GAME OFFICIAL.
25. PHYSICAL CONTACT
Players must not touch another player or their equipment at any time. No physical interaction is permitted between players, even if they are on the same team.
26. SHOT CHECKS/PAINT MARKS
If you think you have been hit, but cannot be sure (shots to the back), you can and should call the referee/Monitor and question him, if there is a teammate next to you, you can also question him for a quicker check .
27. LEAVING THE FIELD AFTER BEING HIT
When a player is hit, he must place the butterfly or pipe cover on the barrel of his marker, raise the marker over his head, shout that he has been hit, and then quickly leave the field for the neutral zone. Make sure you keep your gun above your head and shout that you have been hit. An eliminated player cannot shoot while out of bounds, nor can he be hit.
28. VICTORIA
When a team completes the required objectives, all players still on the field must be notified. Do not remove the mask until the pipe covers have been placed on all markers.
