Certification

The United Paintball Referee Association (UPRA) certification program is designed to ensure that referees possess the knowledge, judgment, and on-field professionalism required to uphold fair play and safety standards in competitive and recreational paintball. Through structured training modules, candidates learn key rules, game formats, communication protocols, and safety procedures, followed by practical assessments that evaluate decision-making and conflict-resolution skills under game conditions. UPRA certification promotes consistency across events, elevates the quality of officiating, and provides referees with recognized credentials that support advancement within leagues, tournaments, and fields nationwide.
