Carolina Sabers Player's Code of Conduct
1) I will read and follow the rules - staying well with in their boundaries.
2) When I feel a hit, I will cease firing and promptly check myself. If hit, I will call my self out, and quickly exit the game as to cause minimal disruption. If possible and not disruptive to the game, I will congratulate my opponent on hit efforts if due. I will NOT wipe paint or continue playing on once I feel a hit.
3) When I shoot an opponent and see a ball break or hear a ball hit, I will immediately cease firing and advancing, and give the gentleman a moment to call it. After a few seconds, I will politely tell the gentleman where I saw the ball break (or tell him I heard it hit). If the gentleman continues to play on I will not lower my standards - I will simply continue to press my attack.
4) Once I am eliminated, I will clearly call my self out, hold my gun UP, and exit the area quickly and in the least disruptive manner possible. I will then plug my gun and continue to hold it up as to signal out as I exit the field or return to the spawn area. During this time, I will not communicate to active players on the field.
5) Under no circumstances will I intentionally overshoot an opponent or shoot as to injure as opponent (groin, throat, temple, unprotected ear, ladies breast)
6) When I encounter an opportunity with a young, elderly or novice opponent, I will extend that player additional courtesy. (go for surrender, hopper shot, goggle shot, pack shot, or just move on to more challenging targets)
7) When I encounter a young, elderly or novice allied player, I will be patient with that player and inspire them by my example.
8) If I see an unmasked player or spectator, I will immediate cease all actions that may endanger the unprotected individual.
9) I will use common sense at all times.
10) In person, and online, I will avoid flaming, condescending remarks, and actions that could possibly be construed as unsportsmanlike. Winning and loosing are not excuses for poor sportsmanship. Be a gracious winner and a good looser. HOW you play and HOW you handle yourself are far more important than the outcome.
11) If a situation degenerates into unsportsmanlike conduct, I will remove myself or otherwise avoid the situation.
12) I will not drink alcohol or use illegal drugs while playing the game as these can alter my judgment and physical abilities.
13) I will avoid using profane language in all instances.
14) At field paint only event, I will only shoot field paint.
15) If I think my marker is spiking, I will immediately pull myself from the game and address it. Furthermore, I will not intentionally perform actions that cause my gun to spike its velocity while playing. I will regularly chronograph my marker at every practical opportunity.
16) I will treat my marker as if it were loaded at all times. I will NEVER aim my marker at an unmasked player or unmasked spectator - loaded, or unloaded.
17) I will keep my markers bagged when in public and not in use.
18) I will not shoot public traffic signs, cars, pedestrians, pets, houses, lights, chronographs, buildings etc that are not part of a paintball field and on the field of play.
19) I will encourage new players to try the game of paintball and will treat them with respect.
20) I will not use eliminated players or refs as physical cover.
21) I understand that as a guest of, or member of the Carolina Sabers, that I represent the Carolina Sabers in my actions, and that I am therefore held accountable by the team.
22) I understand that paintball is a game of honor, and I will play it that way.
