That's ridiculous the people there must not know how to play paintball i think you should try some place else because head shots make the game so much better.

Ya its probably the dumbest rule ever invented. The best part is hitting someone straight in the face. You should talk to the owners of the field and have them switch it.

I've never heard of that. I've heard of some games where only head shots count, but not the other way around.

Wow. Isn't that all that is showing most game? If you're leaning out of a bunker... and headshots don't even hurt!

That's amazing. I would just keep my head out the whole game and bring a towel.

That rule is absurd, I really don't know why they would do that. The only time you can get shot out is when you are running(I assume they have a marker hits don't count rule either).

I've heard of this rule but it is mostly at small rec ball fields full of renters or birthday groups. The reason is to discourage players from purposely shooting people in the neck or head since those shots can sting and discourage repeat business.

but how often do you actually aim to hit the neck? and can you imagine how hard it is to do that from across the field?

It is more a "feel good" rule than practical.

that
that rule is BS (in a funny, lol way) that totally eliminates the chance to hit someone unless there body is sticking out!!!!
isnt the head the most hit area in speedball??? from what ive seen on the nppl and mxl it is, but i an prolly wrong ive seen mostly mank shots
on the other hand you could stick your head out all you wanted and it wouldnt matter thats cool

that makes for some intresting game play since most of the shots i take are usually to the head from sticking it around a bunker.
Question do equiptment shots count if not i would find a different feild
And i thought it was a strange rule when all the feilds around here banned barrel plugs
