ARMY BIRTHDAY GAME RULES
1. This Op will be Semi Tan or Brown bio-BBS required. If caught using other BBs, you will be escorted off the field. BBs will be available at the OP.
2. Airsoft is a game of HONOR. Please call YOUR OWN hits! Do NOT call opposing team players out. Calling opposing players out is poor sportsmanship and your side will be penalized. -10 points per infraction, Game Control will call into score keeper for points.
3. Players caught by Game Control attempting to cheat will incur penalty points for their side ( -
4. points per infraction) and may be ejected from the game without refund and barred from future Best of USA Marketing events. Players who attempt to steal, cause bodily harm, or
otherwise break the law will be referred to local law enforcement officers and barred from future Best of USA Marketing events.

 


3-A. Game control will be doing random hit checks as well as random on field chrono' checks throughout the the entireity of game play. If a replica does not pass an on filed chrono' test that will be considered a "cheat" and the appropiate points will be deducted from that team. That player will get a red stripe on the left arm. Once they are rechronoed and verfied by either chrono staff or game control then and only then will that player be allowed back into the game and the red stripe removed.
4. Subordinate players should observe and respect ranks such as Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders and, of course, you’re Commanding Officer. Ranking players should recognize Lion Claws is a GAME. Rank is a tool to provide structure for an enjoyable game. Have fun.
5. Eye protection with FULLY SEALED FOAM must be worn at all times while in a playing area.
NO SHOOTING GLASSES!!!
6. If a player loses his eye protection or has a medical emergency, he/she should immediately call "Blind Man." Game supervisors will immediately signal a pause in the game until the affected player pronounces "All Clear", at which point supervisors will signal the game to continue. In the absence of game supervisors, nearby players should wave their red rags in the air to indicate a blind man call. Once the affected player pronounces "All Clear", players should return their red rags to their pockets and yell "All Clear."
7. NO blind firing. You must be able to see with your own eyes where your gun is pointed. You must be looking down the sites of your weapon (Pistol/Rifle). No using mirrors or devices to shoot around obstacles!
8. At NO time should any player ever touch another player from an opposing team with his own person or any handheld object (i.e. no knife kills)
9. If a player is hit ANYWHERE: you're dead. Gun and gear hits count.
10. If a player enters a close-range situation where firing his weapon could result in unnecessary harm to an opposing player, AND he/she has the target "dead to rights," the player may call for a surrender and use the “Bang, Bang!” rule. “Bang, Bang!” is a safety call ONLY. It is NOT a way of killing someone tactically (Bang, Bang is a courtesy as a player of integrity, but is also optional). If the opposing player does not accept the surrender aim for center mass or at feet. Arguing with another player over not accepting a surrender will result in violating rule 2. When in doubt notify GAME CONTROL.
11. After being hit, all players should immediately get down on one knee, take their hands off their weapon and immediately proceed to pull out the KILL RAG to identify his/her “dead” status and remain in place for 3 minutes then proceed to his/her designated REGEN POINT.
