depends on the game that is being played. usually, the host explains the rules before a game. if you have further questions, just ask someone on the team, or ask the host.

Each field has it's speed limits.
Basic rule is you're out when you're shot.
More elaborate scenarios will have specific objectives.

It's hard to hammer down specific rules since they vary so much from game to game with the different scenarios and all.

As said above there's the common rules that your gun has to adhere to the field limits. And you ALWAYS call your hits. If you're in doubt whether or not you got hit, you call yourself out anyway. The community is small, and players who repeatedly don't call their hits will get known quickly and not be allowed to games. Eye protection rules are always in effect. Generally, most fields will require either paintball or ballistic goggles. Some private games will allow ballistic glasses, but it's best to used sealed goggles.

Generally when hit, you have to put your kill rag (usually a red bandana you carry) on your head and walk back to your respawn where you can either respawn right away, after a time delay, or some other condition depending on scenario rules. If medics are allowed, then you can be healed, but those are usually governed by game-specific rules too.

Otherwise, it's pretty much dependent on the field or game scenario.

Blind shooting is a no no (well for me anyways). That is, don't hold your gun above your head like a paintballer and spray and pray. You must at least be able to see what you're shooting at and "reveal" your body mass so that you are at least able to be hit if you are returning fire or suppressing down a hallway or behind a bunker or something.

Also "crack shooting" is bad. That is, shooting through things like door cracks.
