Basic Rules of Tournament Paintball

So you've tried explaining the rules of tournament paintball to a friend only to get a blank response back. I made this video with the help of my wife who has only played paintball once so as to make something that would make sense to everyone. So share this with your friends, family, or even your dog!

Running in our first local 3 man tourney next weekend. This helped me a lot.

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Have fun!

[@itsjustcaz]

Super helpful brother. I’d love to play my first tournament one day

[@odenmax227]

Hey If somebody gets a major penalty and they pull two a "2 for 1" how do they determine witch additional players to pull? Thanks for this video by the way!

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Usually it is whoever are the next two closest players. Good question!

[@cbelsh2585]

Hey Greg! Ive been watching your videos lately because im interested in getting into tournament paintball. Just wanted to show my support, and congratulate you on your in depth videos that cover a plethora of information. The only suggestion I have is updating your "about" tab on your you-tube channel. I would love to see a video on your complete personal history with the sport. Keep on crushing it my guy!!!

[@TheWafel9]

Cheers dude. Finally someone explained what is mercy rule.

[@howtoplaypaintball]

It’s fun to do to someone but not so much when it happens to you lol

[@theadventuresofpaintball5595]

Best tutorial ive ever. Hitted all important points

[@mcpaintball1510]

Is ramping allowed at 10.2 and if your on the right side of the field, say there’s a bunker at the 50, and you run to the right of it, is it out of bounds?

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Yep ramping is allowed! As for out of bounds it depends where the actual tape is at. Usually there is some space between the out of bounds and the bunker.

[@Forbeszy1]

I guess that's like a general rule of thumb when it comes to penalties.

[@ThaiNguyen-yp2tn]

What does the towel mean I’ve heard this in the middle of matches and I don’t know what it means

[@howtoplaypaintball]

You concede the point to allow the clock to not run out.

[@thepdails]

@@howtoplaypaintball I can only think of one scenario: concede a tie, with a chance to win on the next point. Are there other scenarios where a team would concede to push the game to an additional point?

[@GreenOutdoorsPNW]

thepdails when a team is down bodies and instead of dragging out a lost point they concede to give them more time. If you watch NXL matches the announcers talk about it.

[@thepap000]

This is so weird because I'm a commercial paintball marshal and the rules in tournament are so much more lax.

[@witchblades6979]

what? not at all

[@tbocprod.9411]

Great video thnk you very for that!

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Glad you like it!

[@mon0theist_tv]

Can you hit the buzzer without first fully eliminating the opposing team?

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Yep! I’ve done it before. It just makes it easier to hit the buzzer when you shot everyone.

[@kevinblack8512]

Are players aloud to yell “hit” when they are hit?

[@howtoplaypaintball]

In the NXL they are not but other local leagues might allow it.

[@mon0theist_tv]

@@howtoplaypaintball why is that?

[@Duulio]

@@mon0theist_tv I think its to make it harder for the team that shot them out but i might be wrong

[@naturallybeautiful2027]

I’m so confused. It’s not cause he didn’t do a good job at explaining it. He did a very good job I just don’t get.

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Haha! My wife has been around it for a while and is still confused. Something I can help explain more though?

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

I am still confused 😐

[@howtoplaypaintball]

I’ll give you a tutorial at Cup then :P

[@konkem2358]

WIFE?

[@howtoplaypaintball]

Yep! Somehow I got a wife haha!
