How do I know the number of paintballs I have left on the day?

Paintballs are purchased in a pack at the start of a session and are allocated to you on a player tag. You are issued with a Pod Belt that carries the paint & a number of paintballs to start with; you then collect any remaining paint throughout the session. If you purchase any extra paintballs out on the field these are also allocated to you on the player tag. Your referee can check the tag and notify you of remaining paint if you are unsure.

It is your responsibility as the player to collect and use all of your paintballs. No refund or exchange is given for unused or forgotten paint, a basic “use it or lose it” policy applies. At the end of a session any unused paint is forfeited and legally cannot be removed from the paintball venue.

If any of these occurrences apply, the booking will have been deemed to have been cancelled and full cancellation charges will apply.
