All fields that carry "paintball specific" Insurance have to follow similar guidelines to maintain coverage.

I've never seen those rules before, either, though that's not surprising since they are intended for field owners.

The places I play follow those rules quite closely. I've played in two US states and five Canadian provinces and I would not go back to anywhere that didn't put a high priority on my safety.

The indoor field near me, Planet Paintball in Lawrence, Mass, has the worst chrono procedure...ever. The chrono is behind the counter, and you give your gun to them before you play your first game and they chrono it and punch your ticket and you're good for the day and never have to chrono again. Anyone can just turn up their velocity at any time and the refs wouldn't know the difference.

easiest answer ever.


Only 1 group can circumvent all the others.
this group can instantly kill or create this game.

thats the players.

Well that seems to be the problem in most cases.

i think one of the biggest influences is the PB magazines. Thats where many credit card kids get their first look at speedball. And I'm sure the fact that they magazines are packed full of advertisements with "faster = better" guns really influences the crowds.
