A device specifically designed for blocking the ball if the marker is accidentally fired, at all times other than while in game areas, target range, or at the chronograph area. This includes driving on and off of the property. Barrel plugs are not acceptable.
Paintballs
Vintage Paintball is a FPO, “Field Paint Only” facility. Paintballs must be purchased on site. Players are NOT allowed to bring their own paint. Anyone caught using outside paint will be asked to leave without refund and banned from the facility for one year! No exceptions!

Radio Communication
Radio communication is allowed. Any type of Jammer is prohibited. Channel 8 is the default Channel for Staff and Emergency. Eliminated players, players in the staging area, parking lot or anyone not on the playing field may not communicate with live players on the field and vice versa.
Paintball Markers
All markers/guns must chronograph under 280 FPS. Players should check their guns several times a day to make sure they do not shoot over 280 FPS at any time. Firing modes and BPS for the Vintage BIG Game are open with no limit or cap. No shooting or dry firing in the staging area and parking area. All players are responsible for their own gear. Please be responsible.
Staging & Entry
Staging Areas will be clearly marked and easily identifiable. No shooting in the staging area is allowed. There will be two entry points with controlled access. Only the proper team may check in at their entry point. Wristband required.
Eliminations
A player is eliminated from the game when a mark (the size of a nickel or bigger) is left on them or any of their equipment. If you call yourself out without a break, you’re still out. When eliminated, shout “Hit!” loud enough for those in your vicinity to clearly hear you, raise your marker in the air, as if you were surrendering and make your way off the field keeping your marker in the air. Before you leave the field make sure your barrel cover is on your marker. A player can surrender at anytime. You do not have to wait to be hit. To surrender shout “Surrender”, “Hit” or “Out” and put your gun up over your head to show you are out. Eliminated players should head back to the respawn, or staging area. Eliminated players are not allowed to talk to or signal to live players, “Dead men tell no tales.” An eliminated player cannot shoot while exiting the field, nor are they to be shot at. After the game be sure to wipe off any old hits. Players can be eliminated for old hits. Re-Spawns for the Vintage Big Game are unlimited!
Start & Respawn
Start stations and respawn areas are clearly labeled on the Big game map. These start positions will switch at half time. The Vintage BIG Game has unlimited respawns, but you must go back to your spawn area and visit the ref, show your wristband, wipe your old hits, and chrono your marker. All eliminated players must use their barrel bag when walking back to respawn! NO RESPAWN in the final battle! Please review the Vintage Big Game map to see the overall boundaries. Players are not allowed on opposing team spawn maps at any time. Failure to comply will result in said player being eliminated.
Wristbands & Armbands
Wristbands are proof that you paid admission for the game. Wristbands will be checked every time you go on the field and respawn. Please wear them outside your equipment. Failure to produce a wristband when checked will result in dismissal from the game. Armbands will be provided to gold team players. At any point if a player loses his armband or is caught without one, that player is eliminated. If your armband falls off during the game referee discretion is to be used. All players will have an armband on their LEFT arm.
Spec Ops
The Spec Ops team is a set of five elite players that are hand picked by the general prior to the start of the game or half. These players have a huge advantage as they are allowed to start the game in their home castle. Spec Ops players must hold their castle and are not allowed to leave it until relieved by their general. When eliminated Spec Ops players respawn as normal. If you want to play this role, approach your general prior to game start!
Lone Sniper
The Lone Sniper is a single player that is hand picked by the general prior to the start of the game or half. This player has a huge advantage as they are allowed to start in their color castle.

That means when the clock turns from 11:59 to Noon, whatever team color is showing scores one point! The second way to score points is by eliminating the general. Eliminate the general and you score 1 point! The last way to score is by winning the final battle. The final battle is worth 2 points!
