Boundaries of the field are approximately 10 feet from the tree lines and are marked by flags. Fences can not be crossed. The first team to capture their opponents flag and bring it back and place it in their own flagpole, without getting tagged out, wins. If you are carrying a team flag you must drop it. Failure to acknowledge a direct hit or wiping off paint will get you banned from the field for that day.
Cheaters ruin everyone's fun.
Splatter and bouncing balls do not send you out of the game. The judge, at his own discretion, will check the player for paint and may declare the player neutral. A neutral player can not shoot or be shot at and is in effect an inactive player. A judge will decide if the neutral player will continue to play or is out. The overuse of calling a paint-check to assist you in strategy will get you called out.
