What is Tango Down?
Tango Down is a limited paint game that will take place at a venue on the South Coast. It
will last for two days and will use a new Multi-Mission format.
Where as most paintball game designs are modelled on military confrontations (i.e. large
sides with long set piece battles) Tango Down will be modelled much more closely on Law
Enforcement type engagements. This will mean shorter sharper missions, often just with a
single person, building or object as the objective.
What can I expect?
If you are a new player, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome. If you are quite new
and are attending on your own, let us know when you register and we will place you
alongside some of the friendly and experienced teams who will show you the ropes – you’ll
feel welcome and comfortable within 10 minutes of your arrival.
This will be a nice laid back, small and interesting event with some innovative quirks.

Tango Down
When you arrive, you will be provided with a coloured ribbon as your Team ID. This is to be
tied to the rear elastic strap of your mask. This does not mean your ribbon should be tied to
your vest, your camo, your gun or anywhere else – to the rear elastic strap of your
mask.
Your faction will be given a variety of missions to conclude over the course of the weekend.
Some will be against the clock. Some will be against a large opposition. Some will be against
a single person opposition. You will be given your Mission Briefing by Game Command, you
will have a short period to devise a plan and then you will be expected to execute.
Catering
There will be onsite catering:
Lunch
Soup
Hot Dogs
Burgers/Cheese burgers
Pot Noodles
Dinner
BBQ. Help yourself to French loaf, salad, coleslaw, potato salad and comes with a steak,
chicken breast and sausage. A good healthy feed!
Hot and cold drinks and of course bacon sandwiches for breakfast.
Bring your own beer for Saturday night.
Paint & Pyro
All paint and pyro must be purchased from Shoreline. If you purchase paint on the Saturday
and wish to return with that paint on the Sunday then you must leave it with us to store for
you over night on Saturday. No FSR as this is a largely CQB game.
Flash bangs will kill in some missions or act as effects in others. Pyro via pre-order.
Firing Modes
The only mode permitted is semi automatic – one trigger pull must release one ball.
All electronic markers must have their rate of fire capped at 6 balls per second as a
maximum and be fitted with a 50 round hopper or magazine feeder.
Overshooting
As per Standard Shoreline Operating Standards, there will be a zero tolerance approach to
incidents of Overshooting. Anyone determined by event staff as being guilty of Overshooting
will be ejected from the event. No exceptions.
Wiping / General Cheating
We are fortunate that at Shoreline events we do not suffer from the same problems
regarding wiping and cheating that other events sometimes suffer from. The simple reason
for this is because the vast majority of our customers know that we mean it when we say
we will eject anyone from the event who cheats. We’ve ejected players before and we’ll
continue to do so where necessary – don’t let it be you.
All our marshalls have clear instructions and all are authorised to make the decision to eject
a player if they deem it necessary.
We do not operate a ‘three strikes rule’ or a series of second chances – if you cheat, wipe,
overshoot, shoot hot or abuse other players or staff – you will be leaving early. The rules
are clear and unambiguous and our policy crystal clear. That clarity makes for better events
for all involved as has been proven over the years at Shoreline events.
Aggressive Language
Aggressive language directed towards staff or other customers will not be accepted. Any
player screaming abuse, losing their temper or unable to maintain their self control will be
ejected from the event – not matter what the circumstances.
Marshalling
Marshalls are present to ensure player safety.
Marshalls are not present to provide game related information (i.e. scoring periods,
objectives etc) so please do not ask them as it distracts from their main role of ensuring
your safety. All the information you require to play this game is contained within this Player
Pack or the event website or issued during the safety briefing.
Marshalls are not present to ‘get stuck in’ and it is not the job of a marshall to call players
out of the game when hit. Players are responsible for calling themselves out and the
responsibility ends there.
