LIFE TAPE
Everyone begins with a vinyl strip tied around their arm. Upon being hit, players 
must immediately pull and break their life tape band as an acknowledgement to everyone
else that they have been eliminated and are leaving the battle to go get retied.

GETTING HIT
When you are hit, immediately tear off your life tape.  Proceed to the closest medic or back to your base.  There, the medic will retie new life tape on your arm.  If you must leave for paint, air, refills, or any reason, tear off your life tape.  You are considered “eliminated” and must get new life tape when you come back.  Note: the location of your base will change from game to game.

RE-ENTERING PLAY
If you left the game for any reason, or are entering the game after starting time,  you must
first report to your base.  There, the medic will retie new life tape on your arm.

FRIENDLY FIRE
You are eliminated when hit by any paintball, even if mistakenly fired from a teammate.

MULTIPLE HITS
Shooting the same person repeatedly (3 or more times) is against the rules.  Repeat violators may be asked to leave.  However, the noise level will hinder your ability to audibly signal "out", so the use of hand gestures and body language is encouraged.  Also, due to the number of players shooting paintballs simultaneously, be advised that multiple hits may be the unintentional result of several players shooting at the same area.  In such cases the multiple hit rule cannot be enforced.

REFEREE INTERVENTION
Game officials reserve the right to halt the advance of your team if you are about to overrun
the opposing army's base.  Such calls will only be made sparingly.
