GENERAL RULES
Eye Protection:
Fully enclosed
Goggles must be worn at all times while on the field. Mesh Goggles and Safety
Glasses are NOT permitted.
Keep your goggles on regardless of the game being over until all players
are accounted for and all guns are made safe. Goggles must be ANSI Z87.1
or better rated and be able to withstand a direct hit (1") from a .20g
BB at 350fps or higher. The staff reserves the right to test all goggles
before use. Goggles determined to be unsafe will not be allowed to be used.
Velocity Limits:
All AEGs, Spring & Gas Pistols/Shotguns must chronograph below 400 fps.
All single-shot/semi-auto sniper rifles must chronograph below 500 fps
All FPS limits are with .20g BB's.
Minimum Engagement Range (MER):
AEGs firing at 350 FPS or less have a minimum engagement range of 10 ft.
AEGs firing over 350 FPS have a minimum engagement range of 20 ft.
Sniper rifles shooting over 400 fps are not allowed to shoot at opponents closer than 100 feet from the shooter.
Players are allowed to make a "safety kill" under 20 feet by tapping out the structure the opponent is in or verbally making the opposing player surrender rather than shooting the opposing player.
Eliminations:
A player struck anywhere on their person, including any equipment they are caring on them (web gear, canteens, ammo pouches, hat, etc.) is considered hit. Gun hits and BBs that ricochet of nearby objects do not count as eliminations (If a BB hits a small twig in front of you and is deflected only a few millimeters and still hits you it is not considered a ricochet and you are eliminated. Please use good judgment).
When you are hit, call out hit and pull out your "dead rag" (red rag you should be carrying with you). You have to remain in place for 5 minutes. During this time you may scream for a medic, scream in "pain" or just about anything else but you MAY NOT give out tactical information on enemy locations etc. After waiting 5 minutes to "bleed out" you may then proceed to your respawn point.
On your way to the respawn point please do not talk to teammates or opponents. It is a good idea to keep a hand up or hold your dead rag to signal that you are eliminated and call out "hit" before you walk around a blind spot that an ambush could be coming from.
Shooting:
Players are allowed to shoot their guns in the designated shooting areas only. The designated shooting areas are the chronograph/target station and the playing field. DO NOT shoot any guns in the parking area, staging area or camping area.
Guns are not allowed in the safety/staging areas while magazines are inserted.
REMOVE THE MAGAZINE FROM ALL GUNS, FIRE 3 CLEARING SHOTS, AND ENGAGE THE GUN'S SAFETY BEFORE LEAVING THE SHOOTING AREAS.
Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction while in the staging area with the magazine removed and KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
Make sure barrel covers are always in place when outside of designated shooting areas.
NO BLIND SHOOTING: You need to see your target. Do not blind shoot over or around bunkers without seeing what you are shooting at.
WILDLIFE, PEOPLE NOT PLAYING, SIGNS, CARS, ETC. ARE NOT TARGETS: If you shoot at these objects/persons on purpose you will be escorted off the premises without a refund.
REFEREES AND ELIMINATED PLAYERS ARE NOT TANKS: Do not hide behind or use them for cover. If you do so you will be eliminated from the game.
Pyrotechnics:
Any and all pyrotechnics and/or smoke need to be approved for use by staff. If pyrotechnics or smoke not approved by staff areused on the field you will be directed to leave the premisis with no refund.
Weapons:
Knives are not allowed on the playing fields. Firearms, aka "real steal", are not allowed on the premises.
Boundaries:
The outer boundary is marked by either fences, boundary tape or water.
Your Surroundings:
We strive to make the fields as safe as possible but you must remember you are still in the woods. Stay on the trails as much as possible and if you leave the trails remember there are briars, roots, sink holes and other natural hazards that are present in any woods. Do not climb trees/bunkers except for the towers.
Safety:
If you are hurt, see someone get hurt or see a dangerous situation, immediately yell out "SAFETY", cease fire, follow the field staff"s directions and keep your eye protection on.
Language:
We do not tolerate abusive language or profanity directed at another player so do not do it.
NO Alcohol or Drugs!:
Intoxicated guests will not be allowed to play and will be escorted from the premises.
NO FIGHTING:
The authorities will be called and charges will be pressed.
