Why PaintballRulebook.com Exists

Paintball has grown rapidly, but rule consistency has not. League formats, online resources, and local field policies often contradict each other or are outdated. This fragmentation leads to confusion, uneven competition, and prevents the sport from reaching mainstream legitimacy.

paintballrulebook.com provides a clean, centralized location and is built to support players teams, referees, field owners, creators, and new audiences.
