Field Info
Riverside Renegades is THE largest outdoor field in western Pennsylvania.
Located just minutes from the Homestead Waterfront entertainment complex, Oakland, and 10
just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and much more. Be prepared to enjoy yourself
on the field. Field offers sheltered picnic area. Two styles of play, Mega and
Capture the flag. We've got a varied field in terms of terrain. Everything
from flat areas with man made cover(bunkers), two story buildings, hillsides, cliff faces,
etc. Capture the flag is for smaller groups where you split into two teams with
forts. The object of the game is to "capture" the opponents flag and
return it to your fort. When we get a large number of players, roughly 30, we offer
the ability to play "MEGA" style of play. This style of play is
non-stop. The game begins with a fort for each team, and the object of the game is
to capture the fort, and HOLD it from enemy forces. The fun begins with the fact
that every half hour on the half hour, all "dead" players are re-entered on the
playing field. This produces a non-stop adrenaline pumping game for all people, with
only a break for lunch!

Directions
We are located near the Homestead Greys (High-Level) bridge. Take i376 to the
Squirrel Hill exit. Follow the signs to Homestead. You will drive for about 1
mile and come to an intersection with a gas station on your right. Continue straight
through this light. Go through one light, notice the Wendy's on your left.
Take a right at your next light (about 200 feet), this is Imogene Road. Travel for
about half a mile and the road will "Y", take a left and park the car.
There is a trail leading back to the staging area located on your right here. If you
would like more detailed instructions click the map below, or don't hesitate to call us.

What to bring
If you have never played before, here are some basic tips which will make life easier.
- Wear clothes that you don't mind if they get dirty. While we're at
it, wear long pants, and preferably, long sleeve shirt also. This helps cut the
sting from getting hit with a paintball (which will be explained shortly), and it also
helps prevent scratches from bushes while running, and even sunburn if you stay out in the
sun too long. If you want to be really prepared, bring an extra pair of shorts and
a shirt for your ride home, just in case you end up getting dirtier then you
expected. Remember you'll also be in a wooded area, some camouflage can help, stay
away from bright colors if at all possible. White shows up pretty easily in the
woods, darker colors work better.
- Wear shoes that can handle getting around in the dirt and mud. Cleats are
ok, but on varied terrain, ankle support is best. A good pair of boots can make getting
around on our hills a bit easier, possibly give you an edge in the game!
- Bring some water, or something to drink. Water is available, but it
never hurts to have some extra. People often forget that when running around they
can become dehydrated, this could put a serious crimp in your fun.
- Getting hit with a paintball. We're not going to lie and say you
won't feel it. It stings a bit when you get hit This is why you MUST wear a
face mask at all times on the field, and why we suggest clothes that cover all your skin.

Rules
- Safety Comes First.
- Always listen to the referee.
- If you missed the safety briefing, please ask for it before you go on the
field.
- Never remove your face mask when you are on the field, never remove the
barrel plug of your gun in the safety area. Make sure you have both on/in before
entering the staging area.
- All non-rental guns must be chronographed to or below the field limit by
a referee or other official. No Exceptions!
- No physical contact among opposing teams on the field.
- If you are hit by a paintball and it breaks, you are "out",
please yell "OUT" or "HIT", please leave the field, and go back
to the staging area. To leave the field, put your gun ABOVE YOUR HEAD and slowly
come out from behind cover so the players shooting at you know not to shoot you
anymore. If you have a barrel plug on you, please insert it as you walk off the
field. If you left it at the entrance, put it in the gun before walking into the
staging area.
- If your GUN is hit, and you are not, then you are not "out",
continue playing. If you wish yell out, "GUN BREAK".
- If you are hit, and it bounces, or otherwise doesn't break, yell "NO
BREAK", and continue playing. This allows your opponent to know that you
checked to see if the ball broke on you.
- If you are hit and call yourself "out", but discover that the
paintball did not break, you are still "out". The act of telling other
players that you are "OUT" means that you are. This is very
important. Always check yourself before calling out
- If you come within 10 feet of another player, you have the OPTION of
asking them to surrender. If they agree, they must call themselves out and walk off
the field. They have the option of trying to shoot you, but most rational players
will surrender. :)
- Do not overshoot players, do not shoot "out" players who are
walking off the field, and do not shoot the Refs. These are common sense
rules. No one likes to be hit a lot, and no one likes to be hit when they are
"out".
