=== Competition rules and administration ===

The original Second Division information sheet contained detailed rules governing team registration and tournament participation.[3]

The league adopted rules derived from the Australian Paintball Players League (APPL).

Teams were required to field at least four players in each game, with additional reserve players permitted.

Games used an elimination format and were played on speedball fields operated by the participating commercial venues.

The rules did not impose a limit on the number of paintballs used during a game.

Team captains were responsible for player conduct, understanding competition rules and raising disputes with the head marshal.

Only the captain was authorised to discuss disputes with the head marshal.

The use of consistent competition procedures supported the objectives set out in Southern's introductory letter.
