    ***banned from our field***

    After reading Wicked Ways thread about him being kicked from a field, I thought I would post about a recent experience at our field...

    Okay so like 2 weeks ago I was playing at our field Rush Paintball (www.RUSH-Paintball.com) and everything was fine all day long except for some newbies shooting me when i was already out but thats not a big deal andnot what I'm here to talk about. But it was the last game of the day and we decided to play an airball game. I work at this field and my bestfriends family owns it... but since everyone was leaving except for a few people 2 refs decided to play along with us. One of the refs being my bestfriends brother. The teams were 4 on 5, me 2 refs and one other kid being the 4 and some other kids being the 5. But okay the game starts, and this one moron runs out onto the field using the ref shield. No one saw him with it before the game started so there was no way of us stopping him. But anyways we saw him run to a bunker in front of me off the break. Caleb (my friends brother the ref), stopped in the middle of playing and walked up to the kid and said "what do you think you're doing? give me the shield now!". And the kid started giving him crap and wouldnt give it to him, and Caleb told the kid get off the field! but the kid wouldnt get off but Caleb finally stole the shield from him and turned to walk off the field to put the shield back, thats when the kid turned and lit caleb up in the back 3 times. Caleb turned and shot him the same amount of times and was screaming at him to get off the field and he was banned from playing there. The kid just ignored him and kept playing, so I said screw this, and i went and bunkered the kid in the back and ran off to bunker 2 more kids that were left. The douchebag turned and shot me in the back after he was out and then started running his mouth, so i turned and shot him in the leg. He pointed the gun at me and i stopped and said "DO IT!" and caleb stepped in and said "Do it and see what happens!"

    The kid walked off the field and we told him he was banned from playing at Rush again and to leave immediately. He did as it was the end of the day anyways. Caleb had 3 welts on his back fromt he kid and I had one big bloody one on my shoulderblade. We went home everything was fine.
    I changed clothes and got ready for my sisters softball game when the owner (Calebs mom and dad) called and said I need to come down there because the cops were there. SoI had to go back to the field and talk to them. Turns out the kids DADDY didn't like that he had a welt on his back from me bunkering him and he came down there wanting to fight someone. So the owners called the Cops and they came down to talk to everyone. I told them the story along with everyone else that watched what went on. The kids dad is wanting to sue Rush Paintball! On what terms I don't really know because the cops said he would haveno case because nothing wrong was done except by the acts of his kid.

    Thruout the course of all this, no one cussed at him or threatned him, we just told him to get his stuff and leave and never come back. The kid had been warned before for acting up but nothing harsh. He is only the 3rd person we've had to ban. I mean he is only complaining because he got a welt from me and he got banned. Hell... I have cancer right now, my welt was bleeding his wasnt, and I never complained once. Welts are part of paintball, if u dont like it DONT PLAY!!!

    Ive played at Rush, nice place. People seemed pretty nice there too.

    Sucks that that happened, but most people who say they want to sue dont end up doing it. If he does I think it would be pretty hard to get around it, as the kid had to sign a waiver to play.

      thanks man, you oughta come play soon... we just redid the airfield, we moved it to a bigger area and its now big enough and designed for tourneys. we're actually having a 3 man young guns tourney tomorrow.

      But yeah I doubt he'll sue, he has nothing to go against. And we could always counter-sue if it came to that.

            I don't have much experience with lawyers, but I do know here in the US anybody can sue just about anybody else for anything. Does that mean he'll win, no. Could he be a pain in the rear, yes.

              Hope your field's waivers are up to date and well written.

              You had an employee shoot a customer outside the context of the game.

              Smartest thing your field owner could do is fire your friend right now.

                  I'm talking about the ref who walked off the field, got shot, then shot the player three times.

                  He should fire the ref as it indicates the ref was acting outside the bounds of field policy.

                  Of course, IANAL, so the field owner should really ask a lawyer what the best thing to do is and start saving up to pay the settlement.

                          In situations like this, that is what waivers are for. Especially #4 on their webpage.

                              Was there a ref for this game?
                              (if the refs were playing they should know when someone is pulling a ref shield that it is not allowed)
                              The ref that retaliated to the kid should not have shot him and by doing so undermined the respect that ref should have. Everyone's got to play by the rules. That kid should have known best of all since his parents owned the field.

                              My opinion of appropriate action on this would have been to walk my team off the field grab an active ref and had the kid sat down for grabbing the ref shield.

                              But then again I was not in the situation.
