In every sport, there's at least one person who decides to bend their own interpretation of the rules for their own selfish and personal benefit. We have a name for these people in society; we call them Cheaters. The idea of cheating is nothing new, however, it will never fade away as long as their's mankind still in existence. But I digress.
Cheating in airsoft is unfortunately a little easier to do than in Paintball, because, unlike Paintball, Airsoft lacks a clear cut way to mark your hits like in Paintball (Which is the paint from inside the ball.) With the Pellets just bouncing off of you, ricocheting off a wall, or any number of possibilities, people can get away with cheating.
Fortunately, the recreational sport has a at least three counter measures against this. Firstly, the Honor System: If you know you get hit, you call it, then you go back to the spawn point. If that doesn't work, there's the referee to become the mediator and point out the hits and calls players out. The last resort would be to kick players off the field for whatever period of time, or at least that day.
In summery, having a little integrity and selflessness is required to play the game. If everyone decided to cheat, then we don't have a game. So if we all decide to play fair, then we can all have fun playing the sport we all love; weather it be airsofting or any other kind of sport.
