Field Safety
Please note that masks are required when not on the playing field.
Proper field attire will enhance your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the game. We recommend the following:
- Long sleeves & long pants
- Dark or camouflage clothing
- Shoes or boots you can run in
- Gloves
- Bandana (neck protection)
- A baseball cap, worn backwards will protect the top and back of your head as well as the back of your neck
- The same personal protection that you would wear during gym class (cup, etc.)
- A positive attitude
While our vegetable-based paintballs are washable, some discoloration may remain on light-coloured clothing, and dirt & grass are always a factor on outdoor fields. Come prepared to have fun and get dirty!
A change of clothes/shoes and a towel to clean up afterwards is a great idea. However, we have disposable coverall for sale in different sizes. Your car will thank you!
We have a shaded area with picnic tables where non-participants can sit with drinks and snacks. There is also a shaded viewing area outside of the field. Bring a lawn chair if you want to sit and watch.
Alcohol/drugs are not permitted. Judgement Day Paintball is a family-friendly facility and sportsman-like behaviour is expected at all times.
Paintball-approved eye protection is essential:
- Never remove your mask/goggles on the field or in elimination zones at any time during play
- Never fire your marker when you (or someone nearby) is not wearing proper paintball-approved eye protection
Using a Paintball Marker:
- Do not handle a paintball marker while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Never shoot at someone with intent to harm them. Never shoot at animals
- On the field, try to minimize the amount of time you spend out in the open. Obstacles can provide cover should you need a break or the chance to reload
- Paintball velocities on the field are regulated. If you choose to bring your own marker the speed will have to be verified by chronograph before you can take it on the field.
- When you are eliminated, raise your hands, call "OUT" as loud as you can and walk off the field
- Do not remove your mask/goggles until you are back in the safe zone
- Keep your marker safety switch in the "safe" position when not in play
- If your marker has a power feed, keep it in the "off" position when not in play
- In designated safe zones, ALWAYS cover the barrel of your marker with an approved barrel sleeve/socks (barrel plugs are not permitted)
- Remove all power sources prior to disassembling your paintball marker
- In many cases, markers can fire even after the pressure cylinder (HPA or C02) has been removed. Always wear goggles when working on your marker.
- Do not attempt to alter pressure cylinders or valves
- Discharge and unload your marker prior to storage and transportation
- Only pressurize your marker when you are ready to use it
- Do not shoot anything from your marker other than water-soluble paintballs
- Paintball paint can discolour or damage finished surfaces. Do not shoot cars, homes or items with finished surfaces
Field Rules
- Every player MUST "Sign In" before play begins and "Sign Out" when they are finished for the day.
- Masks MUST be worn at all times when on the playing field.
- If you lose your mask coverage, call "MASK". Play will stop & then resume when the mask is again in place.
- Barrel socks MUST be in place when not on the playing field.
- No "First Strike" ammo is allowed on this field.
- No weaponry over 280fps. Personal markers must be adjusted to this specification by the owner before being allowed on the field.
- All markers must be chronographed on the day of play.
- Due to environmental concerns ONLY FIELD PAINT purchased on the day of play at our field store is allowed to be used on our field. No reimbursements for unused paintballs. You can take as much paint on the field as you wish, but you cannot get more once the game has started.
- For safety reasons there is NO scavenging paintballs from the ground allowed. A stone picked up and mixed in by mistake could cause an injury.
- Referee decisions are FINAL.
- No crossing out of the marked play area.
- No shooting at buildings, signs, vehicles, compound or anything in the compound. This is grounds for ejection.
- No shooting at referees or time keepers.
- No shooting at "Dead" players (anyone with their arms in the air exiting the field).
- Any player hit must exit the field. A player is out of the game if he/she is hit by a paintball that breaks on clothing, marker or equipment - no matter whether by an opposing player or a teammate (friendly fire). Call "HIT", hold your marker over your head and leave the playing field by the shortest and safest route.
- The "Walking Dead" don't talk!
- Any unsportsmanlike conduct is grounds for ejection.
- No drugs or alcohol on the property. Intoxicated players will not be allowed on the field.
- This is a family field. Please keep your language civil.
