1、Designation: F3100 15Standard Practice forLow Impact Paintball Field Operation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3100; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parent

2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis practice sets forth procedures for conducting a form of low impact paintball games through theestablishment of specific game rules and equipment r

3、equirements which serve to reduce the discomfortsometimes experienced by participants from paintball impacts in traditional paintball games. Specificpaintball markers and specific calibers of paintball may be required. The goal is to assist paintball fieldoperators in running a safe business. Like a

4、ny other physical activity, paintball presents a potential forinjury. No procedural practice can prevent all injuries, especially when paintball players do not followsafety instructions. The ultimate responsibility for preventing injury lies with the paintball player. Thispractice, however, intends

5、to promote specific game rules and equipment requirements for safe lowimpact paintball field operation through standardization of operating practice.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes minimum safety requirementsfor the operation of Low Impact Paintball Playing Fields, andprovides for certain requ
