Preface
This booklet has been a long, long time in the coming. When K2 and I originally devised the
CSPO infrastructure in December 2006, we had anticipated, and hoped for, growth, but it is
difficult to visualize the kind of scale of growth which we have had looking forward rather than
backward.
It is due to CSPO Officers like yourself that the CSPO as an organization has grown this far and
wide across this great country of Canada. When CSPO was originally devised over a bottle of
rum in my office in my basement we visualized an officer corps of people all on the same page,
all working together to grow this organization.
We had never visualized the hazards of handing power over to such a wide variety of people in
such a wide variety of locales. The recent re-organization where all of the regions got their own
General who were responsible for CSPO, and where administrative access to the website itself
was handed over to people in charge of each region, while a necessity due to our growth, was
quite a scary venture.
Typically, common sense prevailed as CSPO grew through from a small 10 man operation to the
1200 person organization it is today. The hazards that we never foresaw were that individual
officers would attempt to leverage their position within CSPO for their own personal and
business objectives. While this is not a widespread phenomenon, it has happened enough times
in enough different locales that such a policy booklet is a requirement, rather than an optional
project now.
CSPO operates more like a paramilitary network than a corporate or community venture.
Sometimes the lines become blurred between community, corporate, and the more paramilitary
adventures on-field. This guide book will hopefully provide our officers with guidance on not
only what to do in particular situations, but also provide guidance on what to expect and what is
expected of them as this organization grows and prospers.
CSPO is already the premiere paintball tournament, club, and team across the country of
Canada, the geographic diversity of CSPO is literally colossal. However like any organization
which is holding the top spot, CSPO must protect itself from becoming used as a springboard, or
marketing engine for competitors and splinter-cell type groups.
2009 has been a challenging year for CSPO as we have seen several of these misadventures
already, just as we are attempting to break out and become the NHL-class organization
within the sport of paintball for Canada. Hopefully you, officer, will lock in and be part of this
adventure, while we create the strongest paintball organization in our country, Canada.

Basic Code of Conduct for all Officers
The basic code of conduct contained herein which applies to all officers, regardless of rank, is to
protect the image of CSPO and to ensure growth. In the organization of CSPO, our brand and
our name are our most valuable assets.
Failure to comply with this basic code of conduct is reasonable grounds for an immediate
dishonorable discharge or demotion within CSPO. It must be understood by everyone, and
most especially officers, that certain standards must be upheld in order to protect the
reputation of our organization.
Conduct at the field
1)
CSPO members must understand that the safety guidelines, rules, and requirements ofthe particular field they are operating at must be followed, whether they are standard,
or non-standard, and that such referees, or employees of the paintball field at which
they are operating are effectively the law on their premises. Any rules which are put
forth by such field operator will take precedence over any CSPO rule or guideline, unless
such rule is unsafe, unsportsmanlike, or violates a law in the jurisdiction in which said
field operates. This is to be enforced by all CSPO officers.
a. Exception to this would be outlaw fields. While operators of some outlaw fieldsmay not require it, barrel blocking devices such as barrel condoms or plugs must
be used at all times in the neutral zone by all CSPO members, even where rules
do not require it. This is to be enforced by all CSPO officers.
2) CSPO officers, regardless of the size of their group, will not demand special discounts,special attention or pricing due to their position, rank, or standing within CSPO. Such
negotiations should ALWAYS take place in private with the manager or owner of such
paintball field, and NEVER should be demanded in public of such field in front of other
paintball players who may or may not be CSPO members or squad members. In the
case of dispute of a pre-arranged discount which may or may not be honored, the field
manager or owner should be contacted or the matter discussed in private, away from
the other players.
3) CSPO officers should minimize the use of vulgar language both on-field and off-fieldwhile dealing with squads, recruits, potential recruits, and non-members of CSPO. A
CSPO officer should be a role-model at the field; and not offend other players and or
young children who may be present.
4) Use of drugs or alcohol at the field by CSPO members of any rank will not be tolerated.Any verifiable complaint of such activity will result in an immediate dishonorable
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
4/15
discharge for said member. A CSPO member should be a role-model at the field, young
children may look up to the CSPO member, and said member should ensure that there
are no activities which would make the parents of the child feel wary of looking up to
such members activities. This will be enforced by all CSPO officers. This excludes social
time amongst adults.5) Vandalism of any kind at the paintball field, or of the paintball fields property, will not
be tolerated. It is the operators premises, and regardless of the situation, any
vandalism other than shooting paintballs within the playing area is grounds for
immediate dishonorable discharge.
6) CSPO officers are expected to wear their CSPO patch in a visible fashion at all timeswhen at the paintball field. A rank patch is not required but is highly recommended in
order to reduce confusion as to who is the commanding officer.
7) At any particular field, all recruits must be directed to a SSGT-R who operates at thathome field for processing, regardless of the rank of the original person recruiting. In the
case of multiple SSGT-Rs at a particular home field, said SSGT-Rs and the individual
players will determine which SSGT-R is most appropriate for them to be dealing with,
any disputes will be settled by the LT in charge. LTs or higher may not directly add
recruits to a roster for a SSGT-R without the SSGT-R giving final approval for adding or
removing a member of said SSGT-Rs squad.
8) CSPO officers must not conduct marketing activities for any field other than the fieldthey currently playing at. Officers may advertise CSPO special events to CSPO squad
members and web members at the field in a overt fashion only after clearing such
materials past the field owner or manager (or highest ranking on-site staff). Any non-
CSPO special events, such as events taking place at paintball fields other than the
current field, must be limited to basic word of mouth only unless cleared in advance by
the current field operator.
9) CSPO officers must NOT use their position and rank within CSPO to leverage their ownbusiness interests outside of CSPO. Evidence of this activity will result in an immediate
dishonorable discharge. Some specific examples of this type of activity:
a. Starting a website forum outside of CSPO and requiring any or all membersunder such officers command to register a username, email, and password on
such website forum, CMS engine, or other community portal site outside of the
domain ofwww.canadianscenariopaintball.com
b. Collecting e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, instant message accounts, orgenerating other lists of personal contact information outside of what is
available on the CSPO website which is stored outside of CSPO internet
properties. The CSPO website offers many numerous ways to distribute
information to officers charges, and requiring any outside means or ways
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
5/15
outside of the CSPO network of communicating such information is prohibited.
Exceptions to this would be:
i. Provision of telephone numbers for the purpose of sharing rides or foremergency contact information
ii.
Provision of telephone numbers in the case of minors whos parents maynot be present and require the contact information of an adult placed in
direct supervision of such minor
iii. The required exchange of information in the case of a purchase or sale ofequipment through the CSPO website for shipping or payment
information
10)No CSPO officer, regardless of rank, will require any amount of membership dues ofany organization, squad, platoon, section, or unit of CSPO for any reason or purpose
whatsoever, as a requirement for neither membership, nor as a requirement for special
placement within such squad, platoon, section, or unit of CSPO. Donations are
allowed, provided that such donations are fully optional and that a CSPO squad
member, web member, or junior officer will not be penalized nor receive special
treatment for such donation. Any donation must have a clear and specific purpose,
and a clear and specific dollar amount of funds which are to be raised for such purpose.
Once the specific dollar amount has been reached, such purchase must be made
immediately, and any excess funds should be returned immediately to the donors. In
the case that the dollar value is not reached, all donations should be immediately
returned upon dissolution of such fundraising objectives to their respective donors
within a reasonable amount of time. The only exception to this policy would be squad
patches; that any member in good standing may be requested to pay for such patch to
represent such squad. However, such squad patch may not be requested to be returned
if said member was required to purchase such squad patch. Any request for donations
should be approved and monitored by said officers commanding officer.
11)Any and all work, graphic design, recruitment activities, or names, are property of thesquad, group, or section, and in the case of any dispute, discharge, demotion, or
transfer, such work will remain the property of the majority of such squad, group, or
section within CSPO.
a. The only exception to this rule is in the case of grandfathering, where a pre-existing squad was integrated into CSPO, and the majority of such squad is now
removing themselves from CSPO; in such case the departing group may continue
to retain ownership of such names and squad patches as were designed prior to
such groups entry into the CSPO organization.
12)Grandstanding or soap-boxing by any CSPO officer on the CSPO website forums willnot be tolerated and are grounds for immediate dishonorable discharge. This includes
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
6/15
any act of insubordination, public accusation, public questioning of CSPO policies or
procedures, or any other type of soap-boxing or grandstanding as deemed by an
officer of Captain or higher rank within CSPO.
13)All officers are granted access to the Officer Class section within CSPO. Any questions,or concerns about CSPO procedures will take place in this restricted forum, not in public.This area is provided for officers to discuss CSPO issues amongst themselves in order to
not involve the general public or potential recruits. Should a post be moved from a
public area to the private officer class area, the officer is expected to respect such
decision to keep this discussion in private amongst officers. Any attempts to thrash it
out in public will be grounds for immediate dishonorable discharge and potentially an
IP or site block from the CSPO website.
14)All officers understand that the CSPO website www.canadianscenariopaintball.comandthe CSPO mark are properties of CSPO and not in the public domain, nor a public
service.
15)All officers are expected to follow the chain of command. For new initiatives, they areexpected to request approval from their immediate commanding officer, and any
commanding officer who receives such request, should they be aware that it is outside
of the scope of their authority, will pass such requests for approval up the chain of
command until it reaches someone who has the authority to approve or reject such
proposal. The initiator is expected to await approval or rejection of such initiative prior
to proceeding with the initiative. This is especially the case for the following:
a. The planning of a CSPO or non-CSPO paintball event requiring ticket purchases tobe paid to a CSPO officer, or paid to an organization which is partly controlled by
a CSPO officer;
b. The implementation of any new policies or procedures which are not by theirnature standard to the sport of paintball as a requirement to those under their
command.

Special Guidelines for SSGT-Rs
16)The SSGT-R must be the ultimate leader of their own squad and be in charge of any andall recruitment, squad practice training of their respective squad. The local acting LT
MAY NOT take over operations of these duties for said SSGT-R with exception to
standing in the case of a leave of absence due to vacation, sickness, financial difficulties,
or family issues, and that the local acting LT is NOT the person in command of such
SSGT-Rs squad.
17)SSGT-Rs must note that when their squad reaches sufficient size, they may be offered apromotion to the role of LT. Accepting such role brings new and additional
responsibilities, and the acceptance of such role also comes with it the de-facto
understanding that control of their previous squad must then be fully relinquished and
given to the new SSGT-R in command of such squad. This includes any squad names,
patch designs, ownership or any recruits or individuals within the squad, squad training
practices, or procedures, or anything else developed for or by the squad while such
SSGT-R was leader of that squad.
18)SSGT-Rs are expected, and required, to inform their recruits, squad members, andpotential recruits at the field of major CSPO operational objectives in the area as passed
down from their LT or higher up the chain of command.
19)SSGT-Rs are expected to act as the de-facto liason between their squad and the fieldoperator. SSGT-Rs are expected to represent their squad members to the field
operator.
20)SSGT-Rs are expected to represent their squad members to their acting LT, bringing anyconcerns or questions which may arise within their squad to their acting LT in private
conversation, private message on CSPO, or otherwise bring such concerns or questions
to their acting LT. Individual squad members should not feel that they need to bring
matters directly up to such LT unless such topics include complaints about the
performance of their SSGT-R directly.
21)SSGT-Rs are expected to speak to their commanding officer (LT) on the telephone,electronically, or in person at least once per month and advise them on the status of
their squad. Participation in a conference call where this party is present suffices for
this requirement.

Special Guidelines for LTs
22)LTs must work directly with the SSGT-Rs under their command and under nocircumstances should they be directly engaging in recruitment activities recruits directly
to the roster of any of the squads under their command. Only SSGT-Rs (squad leaders)
may accept or reject a member to enter their squad, or evaluate such recruit to be fit to
join such squad. In the case where a SSGT-R is absent, said LT may encourage recruits to
contact one or multiple SSGT-Rs who operate at that particular home field. In the case
of website recruits, such recruits must be directed FIRST to PM the local squad leaders
who may fit that particular recruit best.
23)LTs may not book or schedule squad meetings or practices. Part of the LT role is togroom, train, encourage and mentor new leaders in the SSGT-Rs under their command.
If a squad leader is not performing their duties, it is the LTs role to first encourage the
correct performance, and if this performance is not achieved then to re-evaluate the
SSGT-Rs fitness to lead this particular squad. Exception to this would be when the LT is
covering for a SSGT-R who is not able to fulfill their duties for a temporary amount of
time.
24)LTs are encouraged to book or schedule platoon meets, practices, and inter-platoonchallenges. All of these activities must be equally available to all squads and members
within their platoon, and such meets, practices, or challenges must be organized in such
a fashion so that it is equally convenient, or equally inconvenient to all members of the
platoon under their charge.
25)LTs are not permitted to favor their prior squad within the platoon. Intentionallydirecting recruits to their former squad when they may be better directed elsewhere is
expressly prohibited. Creating multiple squads under a single name with the
conventions of A, B, C, or Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or other sequential naming conventions
are expressly prohibited except in the case of an initial squad split as it grows into a
platoon. Any new squads coming online under the guidance of an active LT are required
to pick their own squad name, logo, and imagery to represent the new squad, and such
is the prevue of the SSGT-R who will be commanding such squad. LTs are also in such
role to encourage the squads as a result of such splits to concoct their own identities
after the split, in order to change the sequential naming convention as part of the new
SSGT-Rs taking over ownership and command of the new squad within a reasonabletimeframe designated by the area Captain or General.
26)LTs are expected to identify new potential SSGT-Rs within their assigned catchment areaand territory. Occasionally this may require that they bring a squad or platoon with
them to a new paintball field not yet explored by or where no existing CSPO SSGT-R
exists. The first recruit an LT is expected to source would be prospective SSGT-Rs who
may lead a squad there, and any other recruitment production from this exercise are to
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
9/15
be referred to the new SSGT-R who may have been selected at that home field. Under
no circumstances are new recruits from a new third field to be encouraged to join up
with a squad which does not regularly play at the field at which the recruits were
recruited. This is a clear violation of CSPO policy.
27)LTs are expected to inform the use and advantage of any and all programs offered byCSPO to their respective SSGT-Rs, including the patch system, sponsorship
opportunities, website program, and any other offering to squads under the CSPO
banner.
28)Any efforts by a current LT, other than grandfathered efforts made prior to joiningCSPO, to launch or take control of a community portal website, forum, or other CSPO-
like organization are grounds for a dishonorable discharge and stripping of command.
Such conflicts of interest are not to be tolerated at the LT level, unless they are
expressly approved in advance of such efforts by someone up the chain of command
with authority to approve such venture.
29)LTs may under no circumstances transfer recruits from one platoon into their platoon,without approval from someone up the chain of command with the authority to make
such approval. Cases where this approval is not required are limited and as follows:
a. In the case where a player has moved their private residence and it is now moreconvenient for them to switch home fields
b. In the case where the SSGT-R whos squad the recruit was enrolled has alreadyprocessed a delistement from the squad more than 30 days prior to the transfer,
so they are in effect no longer part of such platoon
30)LTs are expected to speak with their SSGT-Rs under their command at least once permonth via telephone, electronically, or at the field. They are expected to speak with
their commanding officer on the telephone, electronically, or in person, at least once
per month as well. Participation in a conference call where these people are present
suffices to fulfill this requirement.

10/15
Special Guidelines for CPTs
31)Someone promoted to the role of Captain must acknowledge that they are acting as asenior commander, role model, and decision maker within their assigned territory for
CSPOs activities in that region. Anyone in the role of Captain must declare any
potential conflicts of interest directly, through their respective General or directly to
national HQ, immediately upon knowing of such potential conflict of interest, and must
adhere to any restrictions, conventions, special policies or procedures, to ensure that
such conflict of interest does not harm CSPO either financially, by reputation, or
confusion of members under the command of said Captain. If such restrictions are
unpalatable to said captain, then such captain may request an honorable demotion
from their role, rights, and responsibilities of the role of Captain to their area General or
national HQ.
32)Captains are held to a higher standard of conduct than SSGT-Rs or LTs. The violation ofany policy or procedure in this guide may result in a demotion, dishonorable discharge,
IP block on CSPO or other disciplinary action decided by those higher up the chain of
command within CSPO. Captains are expected to know and refer to this policy guide
prior to any action or reaction.
33)Captains are granted administrative privileges on the CSPO website, and may not use orabuse such privileges for their own purposes. Any event, article, or other submission to
CSPO which requires approval made by a Captain must be approved by another officer
with administrative privileges prior to becoming publicly viewable on the website.
34)Captains, acting with the authorization of their area general and national HQ, mayorganize special events under the CSPO banner, flag, and name provided they follow the
standard CSPO rules, operational guidelines, and principles of such games, and may take
personal profit from such activities in reward for their time and efforts. Captains
undertaking the organization of such events with authorization must understand that
full accounting of financials of such events afterwards must be submitted via their area
general to national HQ and that 10% of the net profits of such ventures must be paid
back to CSPO HQ for use of the CSPO brand.
35)Captains may not participate directly in any squad recruitment activities. Wherecaptains may be assisting web recruits, they are expected to refer any prospective
recruits to the LT responsible for that particular catchment area to which a particular LTwas assigned. In the case where there is no LT assigned to that catchment area, they
are authorized to expand or except this rule in order to promote a new SSGT-R who is
attempting to build up a squad in that particular area.
36)Captains, with the co-authorization of their area General, are authorized to delete oredit posts made by junior officers under their command for the following reasons:
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
11/15
a. To prevent the reduction of troop morale due to personal attacks, defamatory orinflammatory statements, incorrect statements or outright lies
b. To stop competitive practices which run counter to CSPOs objectives as anorganization including events which are in direct competition to CSPO events in
their assigned territories. Competing events would include:i. Events which are very similar in scope to an event or series which is run
by CSPO (copied or stolen ideas)
ii. Tournament series which directly compete with CSPOs nationaltournament series or which may interfere with CSPOs ideology of
becoming the premiere scenario paintball tournament provider in the
country of Canada (direct competition to CSPO as an organization)
iii. Major events which take place on or near the same dates as plannedCSPO events in the region (direct competition to a CSPO event)
37)Captains are authorized to make promotions, demotions, and the resulting changes tosecurity clearance on the CSPO website that go with such promotions or demotions, to
ranks below the rank of Captain, provided that:
a. All CSPO policies and guidelines are followedb. That their area general is made aware of such promotion or demotionc. That said member who is being promoted has read and agrees to the policies
and procedures of this booklet
d. Said member agrees to such promotion or their area General expressly approvewith such demotion
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
12/15
Special Guidelines for Generals
38)Generals are the highest regional authority for CSPO and are expressly accountable fornot only following all the guidelines contained herein but also for enforcing that they
are followed within their region.
39)Generals are expected to maintain an active presence on the CSPO website and aregranted all of the powers and express authorities within their region to act upon any of
the privileges or requirements contained within this manual.
40)Generals are expected to ensure compliance with these procedures, and tocommunicate with national HQ on a regular basis.
41)Generals may request that certain provisions be added or removed from this manual tonational HQ.
42)Generals are responsible for providing any financials for any CSPO branded events whichtake profit within their region and are personally responsible for ensuring that any 10%
of net profit for use of the CSPO brand within their region makes it to national HQ less
any applicable transfer fees.
43)Generals are authorized to use the CSPO mark, in its unaltered form, on any print mediawhich they see fit, provided that such print media has been reviewed prior to publishing
by their area captain or someone in national HQ.
44)Generals as the ultimate authority are expected to not only follow all procedurescontained in this manual but also to extrapolate the spirit as they interpret in the case of
a potential violation of the spirit of this document which does not violate this
document literally. These rules and guidelines are mostly common sense and in the
case of someone violating the spirit of the document but not violating the guidelines
literally they may opt to dishonorably discharge that individual, squad, platoon, or group
of individuals for the reason of gaming the system as they see fit.
45)Generals understand that the activities of their Unit under their command rest withintheir own personal responsibility.
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final
13/15
Violation of these guidelines
46)Any clear and proven violation of these guidelines contained in this booklet may cause acommanding officer to invoke a warning, dishonorable discharge, IP ban, or demotion as
that commanding officer sees fit without warning.
47)Within CSPO, the chain of command is the ultimate authority in the interpretation ofthese guidelines. If the officer immediately up the chain of command has interpreted
that there has been a violation of these guidelines, but that there is a dispute as to that
interpretation, then the violator may request an appeal via their area General and
Captain. There will only be a single appeal, if this appeal is rejected then that officer will
be removed without prejudice.
48)Violation of the spirit of these guidelines or gaming the system will be taken to animmediate dishonorable discharge from CSPO. As CSPO is largely volunteer run, our
officers do not have time to split hairs or debate the finer points of one word to the next
within this document.
49)This is not a legal document, but a policy and procedures document describing what isexpected of CSPO officers nationwide. As a CSPO officer, every one of these guidelines
APPLIES TO YOU. This standard may not be flexed, bent, altered or re-shaped in any
way to apply to regional or personal sensitivities for any reason. Any officer
communicating that any provision of this document does not apply for any reason to
any junior officer is incorrect and may be up for a dishonorable discharge themselves.
50)The creation of this document is not to create new rules, but rather to define and clarifycommon sense, and to operate as a written testament and standard for which officers
and members can fall back on when planning and operating their respective activities.
Other points of note
51)Command Guards, SSGT-Is, and other special officer ranks within CSPO should followthe guidelines in this document as a SSGT-R, and hold themselves to the same standards
as a SSGT-R would be expected to follow.
52)Under no circumstances, should any CSPO member, officer, squad member, leader, ornon-CSPO member alter or modify the CSPO mark, by changing its color, design,proportion or otherwise. Acceptable uses of the mark include:
a. The mark with a white background, red CSPO, red half-maple leaf, with Blackmarker
b. The mark with a white background, and all other marks on the mark being blackor grayscale
8/7/2019 Cpso Officers Code of Conduct Final

*** CSPO Officers Code of Conduct and Policy Agreement ***
I, ______________________________________, hereby certify and agree to the points
relevant to my promotion to the role as ___________________________________, withinCSPO (www.canadianscenariopaintball.com ) of the preceding 14 pages, and have reviewed all
(53) fifty-three policy points contained therein.
I understand that violation of either the spirit or the letter of any of these points as applicable to my role
within CSPO may result in my immediate discharge and dismissal, and the promotion of someone in
CSPO to fill my role.
Especially with regards to points 1-15, I understand the basics of taking command and becoming a
leader within CSPO.
Also as an officer within CSPO, I understand that the CSPO website is an internet property run by the
collective officers weighed by the Chain of Command within CSPO, and that such internet property is not
and will not be a public domain or provided free public service other than to further CSPOs own
interests and to enhance CSPO recruitment activities for the benefit first and foremost of CSPO.
I understand also that in the case of a conflict between the interests of CSPO, and the interests of
myself, my associates, friends, business interests, any other paintball group, organization, field, league,
or club, that the interests of CSPO as an organization will take precedent without delay.
If I am a minor under the age of 19, I also understand that I must have my parent or guardian witness my
signature of this document and ensure that I am aware of the points to which I am agreeing. I also
understand that this document may not be signed under duress or my agreement is made null and void;

Also in signing this document, I waive any legal liability which I may believe or interpret now or in the
future to be held by CSPO (www.canadianscenariopaintball.com), except in the case where a law in my
jurisdiction may have been violated by an officer above me in the chain of command. I understand that
in conducting my CSPO duties, that I am responsible for following all applicable laws in my jurisdiction
and that any violation of such laws by myself are my own responsibility and not the responsibility of
CSPO or www.canadianscenariopaintball.com.
