Courtesy Rules & Guidelines

• NATIONAL FOREST
  1. Do not shoot anything on public land unless it's part of the game. Do not shoot trees, signs, wild life, equipment, etc. unless it's part of the game. Remember that national forests are public land and used for many different purposes including hiking and scenery. Although you might like seeing a rainbow colored tree (tree with lots of paintball bursts and colors), another national forest user, such as a hiker, would be extremely displeased. Please be sure to adhere to this rule especially at the entrance or parking areas where it would be most visible. If you have a big urge to shoot a tree, please do it in deep forest where chances are that it'd be rained out before anyone sees it.
  2. The best rule to playing in national forest is to leave it as if you were never there. Please don't leave any garbage behind and if you spot any, please pick it up and throw it out (a player ahead of you could have dropped it accidentally).
  3. Do not damage any trees, wildlife, signs, etc. at any time.
  4. Conceal your equipment whenever possible (but not in a suspicious way), especially if you are near a road. Many people don't know what a paintball marker looks like and if you conceal it, most will pass you by without alarm. If you alarm anyone, they probably will call the police on you. After many complaints, the national forest ranger may temporarily close the area you play on. If possible, drive as far into national forest as possible. The deeper in forest your are, the less you need to conceal. (Remember that paintball in national forest is legal at the time of this writing. The purpose to concealing is only to prevent shocking and alarming any non-participants.)

• CLUB MEMBER COURTESY
  1. Treat every member well regardless of their background, age, sex, or skill.
  2. 'Old members' should introduce themselves to 'new members' without hesitation and welcome them. Remember that you need new members to keep playing and new members become old members very quickly. Without new members, you'll be home washing the dishes instead. Ignored and ill-treated newcomers will not be back! Besides, it's the nice thing to do.
  3. If you claim that you will show at a particular game, be sure to show at that game or make every effort possible to let the other players know your change in plans.
