basic rules of the Gotcha
The Gotcha is a extreme sport in which two teams have to face each other to get a common objective ... win! Depending on the game modality it will be one or the other. But to carry it out, not only must we have the necessary equipment, but also the basic rules must be respected:
- The most important guideline of all is that you never have to take off, under any circumstances, the mask during the game. This covers your face and head, so without it you could receive unfortunate shot in eyes or ears that could cause some injury.
- Although your opponent has the mask on, cannot be shot at the face ever. Although masks can support the impact of a paint ball directed at a speed of 90 m/s it is not advisable to shoot that area of the body. Don't go ready!
- Respect the safety distance, that is, never shoot with the marker at a distance lower than about 8 meters . If that limit is not respected, the impact of the ball in the body can cause some lesion, minimal, but after all injury.
- Block the Gotcha marker when you are out of the pitch. For block it , there are markers that have insurance on one of the sides, but if there are no, it is enough to cover the cannon with the pacifier, because in case of shooting the marker by accident, it would block the ball outlet.
- Take a suit that covers everything The body as well as other protection elements : gloves, vest and collar. Under the suit it is advisable to wear comfortable clothes, as possible of long pants and sleeves. Also use comfortable sports shoes to run along the pitch, we suggest some good boots or something with an anti -field sole.
- Never disparate in the neutral zone , because this place is reserved solely and exclusively to recharge the ammunition or for those who are eliminated from the game.
- When you are eliminated and you have to leave the Gotcha field salt with an arm raised upwards in warning signal. Thus your colleagues and opponents will know that you have been defeated and will not shoot you.
- If you are not sure to be eliminated, either because the ball has splashed you, or because you cannot see where the impact has been, you can consult another partner or the referee shouting " paint check " (paint test). You can also request it if you think you have given your opponent but this is not declared as eliminated.
If you follow these basic rules and you are willing to carry out a clean play, you can play with your friends in shape and you will have a great time without suffering any incident. And now, do you dare to play a good game of Gotcha?
The fight begins!
