And then your read footnote 40
Rules can be downloaded from here.
Any comments from the big guy? (note this is tounge in cheek - but it made me smile)

This actually refers to the 'Rage' incident in Miami where I had a five on one (me being the poor little one) situation and I ain't talking about paintball.
This rule implies that I could have gotten my ass outa there and as such, because I stayed in that environment it could have been interpreted as escalating the problem and therefore had no legitimate defence when it came to penalties being dished out afterwards.

I suppose I got no real problem with that because it makes sense but this situation flash-pointed within a few seconds and maybe I could have got me ass off that field but it would have meant me running away like a little girl.
Some people may say that with five guys bearing down on me that perhaps sticking on a dress and getting outa there might have seemed like a good idea, but that wasn’t the decision I made at the time and if standing my ground means I am gonna get punished, then so be it, I weren’t gonna run anywhere.
The first guy was dealt with and then it got a bit hectic from then on but do I regret it?
I regret that it happened of course, things like that should never happen in paintball.
Do I regret not running away?
Not in the least, I couldn’t have lived with myself afterwards if I had ran.
There were damage reports on both sides of that scuffle and all of us involved learnt a harsh lesson in what can happen.
We live on … but I have to say, reading it did make me snigger.
