Do spectators have to pay to watch?
ABSOLUTLY NOT! We offer fully netted fields so that you can bring all your freinds and loved ones to watch you play your best. We do ask that to remember when bringing little ones, just because there are high nets, it does not mean that the balls will magically stop at the net. Sometimes with the winds and the wear and tear from the weather elements and everything else, balls may tend to make their way through the net by small holes or they may even go over the net by bouncing on the bunkers. Just please be aware of the surroundings when it comes to young children. Spectators are also asked to not put their face against the net as well.

What do I do for paint?
If you are playing 7man or the Xball divisions, you do not need to worry about paint since it is a bring your own paint division however if you are a 7man team and do not have an outlet for paint at a good deal, please contact our offices today to see what we can do for you.
If you are a 3man or 5man team, paint is $60 and is to be pircked up at the registration table. Unfortunately 3-man and 5-man are not Bring Your Own Paint divisions, it is Event Paint Only. Also note that we do keep track of how much paint each team purchases and which type and color and if you are caught sneeking in paint, you can be disqualified - so dont risk it.

Do I need to participate in every event or can I just play in one?
You can play in one or all the events. At the end of the season, the overall winner of each division gets a large team trophy for placing first overall. In order to get to place overall, all the ranking points from each event is totalled and the highest rank is who places first. However, we award large prizes at every event so all you need to do is play one time to walk away with prizes but we guratee that you will enjoy the GPL so much that you will want to come back for more.

How do I know who I am playing at the event?
At the Captains Meeting. The reason we do this is because sometimes a team does not show up, or they callthe morning of the event and state that something has come up and they are unable to make it to the event. This way, instead of having to redo the sced, hand it out a the event and have a chance that one team is following the wrong sced, we simplfy it by just waiting until all the teams are suppose to be checked in by (7:20) and make that the cutoff. At that point, the updated and corrected sced is printed and handed out at the captains meeting. This is also our way of making sure each team has a representative at the meeting.

What and who is the Captains Meeting for?
The Captain's Meeting is the oppourtunity for the GPL Ultimate's to go over the rules to all the teams. This is for new and old tams. Rules change and are updated constantly so we do ask that even if you have been playing GPL or event paintball for many years, it is still highly suggested that someone goes to the meeting to represent your team. This meeting is for Captains of the teams however if you are player and would like to sit in to hear the rule changes and updates you are more than welcome to.

How many games do I get to play?
In the 3man, 5man and 7man Divisions, you are guranteed 8 Preliminary games. This means you will be playing 8 actual games. Once you play your 8 games, all your game score totals will be added up to come up with a sum total. This number will determine you current ranking for the day. From there, depending on how many teams participating determins how many advance to the finals/semi finals/ quarter finals. To find out how many teams will advance in your division, go to the rules. In the Xball division, you will play 5 matches over 3 event dates. The top two from each group will advance to the Semi Finals and Finals rounds. Please see the schedule HERE.

What is Overall Standings and how do I get them?
When the event is over, we take all the teams and sum of their games and rank them in order from the most points all the way down to the lowest points. The first place team receives 50 ranking points, second place gets 49, third gets 48 and so on and so on until 1 point. If there are more than 50 teams, the reamining teams will get 1 point.

Do you have an area for players to put their gear and stage?
In order to help keep costs down for the players, we do not offer a specific player staging area. Players are allowed to stag out of their vehicles or if they have tents and would like to be closer to the field, there is a open area near all the fields that you are more than welcome to set up your tents and supplies. *GPL and 357 Productions LLC is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
