Importance of Paintball Rules

Hi this is Robert Stewart with Hil13.com. The next thing we're going to talk about is something we talked about at the very beginning, and it's the rules. But it's not the letter of the rules that we're necessarily focused on here, it's the spirit of the rules. The rules are built in such a way, that they fundamentally depend upon every player going out with the idea that he is going to play with honor. That means you don't wipe paint off when you've been hit, you don't call for paint checks just to get a peer focus on where a person is located behind a bunker. You have to remember that the rules apply to everyone, and you need to be just as zealous in keeping the rules in play at all times, as the referee. After all, if you're going to cut corners on the rules, why have have rules at all. And if you're not going to have rules at all, how can you call it a sport. So a little bit or a lot, you need to make sure that you're just not following the letter of the law, but you're following the spirit of the law as well. This ensures that everybody has a fair chance in the game.
