THE RULES OF PAINTBALL

The Game Rules
Below are the basic rules of paintball based on the professional rule book. A detailed briefing about the rules will be given before the games.

* When you are hit and marked by a paintball, you announce that you are hit and leave the field directly. If you fail to do that, your team receives penalty points.
* If the paintball mark on you is smaller than a quarter-sized splat, it is an invalid shot. If a splat spreads on you from a different place (for example when you kneel on a painted trench) it is called "spray". In both situations, the ref may call you "out" by looking at the quantity of the paint on you.
* If a player, whom you think you have hit, continues to play, you may make him checked by showing this opponent to the judge and saying "paintcheck".
* You may ask for help from the nearest judge if you have a problem (such as your CO2 gas is over) during the game by saying "control".
* In both "paintcheck" and "control" situations, the player who is being checked is "neutral". During being checked, nobody can shoot this player; this player cannot shoot anyone neither. The hits which are made during these situations are invalid.
* If the game stops for whatever reason, no player can change his location.
* During the game, players can exchange all kinds of paintball gear, however, they cannot take materials from an eliminated player.
* The players cannot pass across the field boundries. They are eliminated if they do so.
* Eliminated players cannot reveal the opponent team’s movements or intents verbally or by movements.
* Alcohol is prohibited before or during the game.

The Safety Rules

* Taking goggles off in the field is not permitted.
* Players must lock in the safety locks of their markers outside the playing field.
* All kinds of physical contact with opponents such as pushing/pulling is prohibited.
* It is not permitted to shoot a player with a barrel leaned against him.
* It is not permitted to shoot players who are eliminated, surrendered, being checked by the judges. It is also prohibited to shoot towards people in the safety zone.
* When your CO2 gas is over or there is a problem about the gas - which is actually a small possibility - ask for help from judges. Since CO2 is a freezing gas, it can cause local freezing in the area that it contacts for a long time.
* You should play paintball with the clothes which cover your whole body that Paintsign provides you.

NOVARAFT RAFTING

Filed under: WATER SPORTS

Antalya - Turkey

Our base is Antalya Köprülü Canyon National Park. The natural and geological structure of the area is suitable for many outdoor sports. This richness of variety is the reason why Köprülü Canyon is the centre of our combined tours as well.

Including the ancient city of Selge and a part of Köprüçay river, Köprülü Canyon National Park is spread upon 36 thousand hectares land. The National Park is renowned as it is the biggest Mediterranean Cypress forest of the Mediterranean Region and the Middle East.

Novaraft base camp is the biggest and the most beautiful facility of the region. With our hot water showers, clean toilets, a well-cleaned industrial kitchen, resting lodges, volleyball courts, a restaurant and a bar; we offer you the warmth and the comfort of your house out in the woods. In our multi-purposed facility, there are also sites for tents and camping.

People have always thought of rafting as a branch of sports which can be done only by professionals. However, no previous knowledge is required for it. You don’t need to have taken a course or private lessons previously. Nevertheless, before you begin the tour you will be provided with the necessary information by your guide on how to paddle, how to sit in the boat and how to follow the commands briefly.

You have made up your mind. You want to paddle through the waves, get wet, and have fun, but how? Here, we provide you with different choices. You can participate in the rafting groups of 6, 8 and 10 people or you can try duckies of 2 people which you control yourself.

We provide you with choices to raft on beginner, intermediate or advanced level rivers depending on what kind action you look for.

RIVERS

Aksu River
Aksu river rafting course, taking place in the 35th kilometer of Antalya- Isparta highway has a difficulty level of 1. This course which we offer companies as an alternative of combined tours in our High Rope Course Park is ideal for families and student groups as well. The course, which can also be named as panoramic rafting, provides a unique taste of view while you are passing through the high walls and interesting rock formations.

Köprüçay River
Arising from the Taurus and passing through the canyons which are natural beauties, Kцprьзay falls into the Mediterranean from the south of Serik. Köprüçay river, feeding on the subterranean waters of the high-walled canyons standing on both sides, is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas of Turkey. Besides that, Selge city, possessing a rich archeological heritage such as historical castles, aqueducts, bridges and roads from the Roman era, is also entitled as the most popular rafting course of Turkey. It hosts thousands of local and foreign tourists as it is close to the touristic sites like Alanya, Side, Belek and Kemer as well. The tour taking place between the historical Oluk bridge and Karabük bridge has the difficulty level of about 2-3. It also provides the visitors with breathtaking natural views and the opportunity to watch the Taurus Mountains as it flows through the National Park.

Alara River
Passing through the border of Alanya, Alara river has the difficulty level of about 3-4. Starting form the down part of Gündoğmuş village, the course is about 25 kilometer long and ends in the outskirts of Alarhan, the castle that dates back to the Seljukians. The river, flowing ebulliently especially in the spring, provides technical passages which require a high maneuver ability due to the difficulties caused by the irregular rock blocks. With this special feature, the river sustains adrenalin to the participants.
