CASTLE CONQUEST XXXVI
SEPTEMBER 28/29, 2013

PAINTBALL IS MY PASSION! IS IT YOURS? P.I.M.P.

The GAME: CASTLE CONQUEST consists of the LONGEST RUNNING and LARGEST ATTACK & DEFEND GAME in paintball that purely defines the words “PURE PAINTBALL INSANITY” and for the FIRST TIME will be held at FORT WAR which with the different terrain and fortifications makes this a BRAND NEW GAME. The odds of Attackers versus Defenders are 4 to 1 and will be led by HEAVY G and team FREAKS OF NATURE. The attackers reinsert every 20 minutes and will be led by Team AOD and the Defenders reinsert every 10 Minutes. We will be shooting ONLY BLUE’S CREW customized DXS BRONZE Paintballs at this event!

The CASTLE: FORT WAR is the second LARGEST, NASTIEST CASTLE that exists in paintball right behind CASTLE AAARRGH. With over 22,000 square feet of playing area within its walls, FORT WAR sports two stories of playing and a full two story 8’ to 16’ deep rampart completely encircling a courtyard of buildings, towers, and barricades. The corridors below the ramparts are full of staggered walls, windows, and doorways leading into the courtyard. With only 4 openings from the outside into the courtyard and two gang ramps from the Seige Machines onto the upper ramparts, this Castle is a fight to enter from Game On.
Facing the Castle Front Wall (Considered WALL 1) is DEUCE’S WILD, a large area set up with speedball like bunkers and buildings, To the right of the castle is WALL 2 which faces CASTLE NUMBSKULL with woods, stone fences, and barricades throughout. The back wall (WALL 3) is faced with trees and bunkers backed by a downhill sloping ridge. To the right (WALL 4) there is a mixture of trees, barricades, and buildings before hitting a downward slope.

CASTLE CONQUEST GAME RULES

CASTLE CONQUEST IS PROBABLY THE MOST EXCITING, INTENSE, ADRENALINE PUMPING PAINTBALL EVENT IN EXISTENCE. REMEMBER THAT THE OTHER GUY IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME INTENSE RUSH THAT YOU ARE! PLAY HARD! PLAY FAIR! PLAY SAFE! KEEP COOL! HAVE FUN! Listen to the REFS as they make the calls, not the players. Be courteous to your fellow players and make this a blast. PAINTBALL IS MY PASSION! IS IT YOUR? P.I.M.P.

Castle Conquest will start promptly at 11:00 am Saturday morning and end at 6:00 pm Saturday Evening. Attackers will Chrono their markers beside the Rec. Center and the Defenders will Chrono their markers at the Field Entrance beside the Museum. Upon Chronoing, your ID card will be punched to show that you have chroned. Roving Chrono Refs will be checking speeds all during the event. Chrono Speed for this event is 275 FPS. The safety speech for the Attackers will be held at the Stage beside the Picnic Pavilion and for the Defenders in the Castle Courtyard.
The game will be held on the following fields: CASTLE AAARRGH, TIPPMANN TOWN, AMBUSH ASSAULT, FORT BLUE’S CREW, BREW CREW BREWERY, IROQUOIS INVASION, and FERRYMEN’S AIRFIELD. There are 10 objectives within CASTLE AAARRGH that the attackers must retrieve and present to the insertion referee at the attackers insertion point beside the Museum to win the game. The 10 objectives are the: ROYAL PLATTER, ALE KEG, EXCALIBER SWORD, PRINCESS ZEUSS, KING’S RANSOM, ROYAL KEY to the FRONT GATE, BLUE’S CRYSTAL BALL, EMR’S COAT of ARMS, BLUE’S ROYAL STALLION, and BLUE’S ROYAL CHALICE. The attackers must remove 5 objectives within the first four hours of the game or the defenders win. If the attackers retrieve 5 objectives within the first 4 hours of the game, then the game continues until all 10 objectives have been recovered. If the game is completed in less than 4 hours, another Attack and Defend Game will be held at FORT WORR one hour after the Castle Conquest ends.
The attackers will start and reinsert into the game through 2 reinsertion points which are located beside the Museum and behind the Barn. Attackers will be able to reinsert at these points every 20 minutes. The defenders start the game within the Castle walls and reinsert from the Castle Dead Zone every 10 minutes. Defenders that are in play may leave the Castle through the 6 entrances/exits and can go anywhere on the 7 fields except past the buildings at the far end of TIPPMANN TOWN towards the barn and past the buildings on the side facing the Rec. Center. Defenders cannot go past the Tower at the edge of FERRYMEN’S AIRFIELD. Live players cannot leave the Castle from the Castle Dead Zone to enter the game.
Players may only enter the Castle using the four ground entrances and the two upper gang ramps. PLAYERS CANNOT MOVE: barricades, boards, wooden structures, screwed together stacks of barrels, or spools. Loose 55 gallon plastic barrels and two-pallet A-frames can be moved by the defenders to help build their defenses but no water may be inserted into the barrels. No entrance may be blocked entirely as a 24” wide space must be left for refs to get through. PLAYERS CANNOT: climb trees, ladders, or walls. Steps are provided with hand-rails. THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR: Explosives, Fireworks, Knives, Tools, Alcohol Use, or Drug Use during the game. NO SMOKE grenades are allowed to be used by any players.

Paint grenades are allowed as long as they are the balloon type and DO NOT contain blue paint. Paint Grenades can only be thrown by hand and not by any devices (Sling Shots, Lacrosse Sticks, LAWS, Mortars, etc.). Dead Man Walks and Barrel Tags are not allowed in this game.
A Player is marked out if a paintball hits any part of his body or equipment and breaks. He is also out if in the process of moving a barrel and the barrel is hit by a paintball that breaks. Grenade hits can mark out a player if there is an accumulation of paint that would cover a spot the size of a 50 cent piece in any color other than Blue, subject to a Ref’s Call. SPLATTER DOES NOT COUNT, no matter how much there is from paintballs, subject to a Refs Call. When hit, immediately yell OUT, put your Barrel Cover on your Barrel, raise your barrel in the air, and quickly make your way off the field. If you need help, call for a Ref.
