Locking Tournament caps are devices used to lock down or prevent on field adjustments.

15. Marked with Paint

(1) A player is marked with paint if a paintball shot out of a paintball marker by any live player, including members of the opposing team or a player’s own team strikes that player or anything he or she is wearing or carrying and the paintball breaks upon the object struck and leaves a paint mark.
(2) If a Referee does not see a paintball shot by a live member of the opposing team or the player’s own team strike that player or anything he or she is wearing or carrying, but that player or that player’s equipment is marked with paint, then such player will be eliminated. Generally, if the paint marking is reasonably solid and the size of a quarter, it will be considered a valid hit. If the referee witnesses the ball hit and break and leaves less than a quarter size it will be considered a valid hit. If a player is marked by rubbing against a bunker or kneeling on a ball it is the players responsability to notify refs of said hit. Refs will assume all quarter sized marks are hits unless imediatly notified by the player at time of paint transfer and the ref is able to see the origonal sorce of paint.
(3) Conversely, a player will not be eliminated if a player is hit and marked by a paintball shot by an eliminated member of the opposing team or if a paintball strikes the player or anything he is wearing or carrying but does not break or if a paintball strikes another object first and breaks upon that object before marking a player or anything he/she is wearing or carrying.
(4) Referees will wipe splatter or non-valid hits off a player at the time they are inspected. Players playing with paint that is considered non-valid will do so at their own risk, until it is wiped clean by a Referee. Players seen wiping non-valid hits themselfs will be assessed the same penalty as if they had wiped a valid hit.
(5) Players who are in motion while hit in obvious locations, which are easily verifiable, will immediately turn their motion away from the opposition, and stop. If two opposing players are hit and marked, as provided in this Rule simultaneously, or if the Referee cannot determine which player was hit and marked first, both players will be eliminated.
15.02 Obvious Hits. Obvious hits are those which impact and break on observable places on the body or equipment and in such a way that the player acknowledges the hit in any way or hits to lenses or such that the player can not reasonably be ignorant of the hit. Players who are hit in an obvious location are expected to immediately signal their elimination by announcing “HIT” or “OUT” at the time of such elimination. Such players must then remove their armbands, and go straight to elimination box.
15.03 Obvious, but not Easily Verifiable while wearing goggles. Players with obvious hits in areas which are not easily verifiable, such as the back must immediately call on a teammate who can easily verify whether or not the paintball broke to indicate whether or not such player was eliminated. The teammate must respond immediately, and if the hit player was eliminated, he must cease play, signal his elimination and exit the field. Failure to call on such teammate for verification or failure of such teammate to respond immediately constitutes playing on by the hit player. If no such teammate is available for verification, such player must immediately call for a paint check by a Field Ref. Failure to call for such a paint check immediately will constitute playing on by such player.
15.04 Unobvious Hits. Unobvious hits are those which impact and break on player’s harnesses & tubes located on players back. Or which the player may reasonably be ignorant of. Players with un-obvious hits will be eliminated but will not be penalized. Should a player with an un-obvious hit become aware, through his/her own actions or through information provided by teammates that he/she has been validly marked, such hit at such time shall then be deemed to constitute an obvious hit.

16. Field Exit
