Taking Off | Cheating in Paintball
Taking off is when you get hit and immediately make a move down the field either to get a hit or cause a distraction. Taking off is a dirty move and is definitely considered cheating. Anyone with experience in the game of paintball has kept playing on in a game, not knowing that they were hit in the shoes or maybe the hopper. This is an accident that is accepted by the referees, who will kindly point out the hit and ask them to leave the field. But when a player is taking off, they deliberately stay in the game when they know they should leave the field. After a person takes off, they may continue shooting at a player as if they are still in the game, or they may get in the way of the opposition to shield their own teammate. No matter what this dubious player does after getting hit, any interference in the game will get him penalized.
Just because the referee didn't see you get hit, that doesn't give you a ticket to stay in the game. In most tournaments, a player who is hit in the back or an area where he felt the impact, he is expected to call a paintcheck to inspect for splatter. And if the player is struck by a paintball, and someone else calls a paintcheck, the player must not hinder the referee's job, and must not try to conceal any part of his body where he might have been hit.
Listed below are some other examples of cheating, as defined by the 2006 NPPL Rule Book, online at www.nappltv.
What to do when you are eliminated
When you are eliminated, you must put your barrel plug over your gun level, remove your armband, and proceed directly to the dead box closest to the team flag station. The player must then remain in the dead box until the end of the game, or until the referee says otherwise. Eliminated players must take all the equipment off of the field that they took onto the field, and move in the most direct route towards the dead box. Illegal reentry into the game from the dead box could result in a suspension. Shooting from the dead box could result in a suspension.
Shooting at a player after he has been eliminated is against the rules. Overshooting at another player with intent to hurt or harm is a violation of the rules.

While spirited play and showing emotion is encouraged at NPPL tournaments, cursing, verbal abuse, or verbally abusing another player is not.
Physical outbursts that involve throwing your equipment is explicitly prohibited. Though you might get excited or maybe a little angry during a match, you are expected to control your outbursts, and not throw any of your equipment.
