Greetings Hells Infantrymen, this was sent out as an email as well

We are planning the 6th Great War for this summer at a new time, and with a new
format. The date of the game will be Saturday, August 11th, the game will start
at 10:00, and will consist of two 3 hour sessions with a break for lunch in
between that will last an hour and a half.

The game will have two different aspects going on at the same time:
-first there will be the continuous battle for territory similar to Risk, where
we will scatter static objectives across the field that can be fought over
throughout the day. These objectives will provide you will (fake)cash to be
used throughout the day.

-the second tier of the game will be a test of organization of the team, where
the commander of each team will be given missions throughout the day to be
completed for additional points to be added on to the final score. these
missions will not be revealed until the day of the game.

The commanders will be responsible for recruiting their team, providing myself
and the captain with a preliminary roster as soon as possible, and a final roster at least
a week before game day, and will also be responsible for deciding Friend/Foe
identification methods. teams will NOT be officially marked.

a player cannot be on both rosters.

The commanders will be announced in an email to follow within the week.

I have attached an official rule's set, any questions can be directed at either
myself or Trevor;

Trevor "the Captain" can be reached at: [e-mail] or
[e-mail]

Ben "the Coroner" can be reached at: [e-mail] or
[e-mail], and my cell is always on, the number is 248-390-2720.


Thanks for your time everyone! and we hope to see you there day of the game!
anyone who shows up without having been actively recruited by one of the two
commanders will have a spot found for them, EVERYONE WILL PLAY!

Ben "the Coroner" Kerby, and Trevor "the Captain" Horner

Safety

-Approved paintball safety goggle systems (including full face and ear protection) must be worn at all times while on the playfield and at the shooting range. This is critical and will be strongly enforced.
-Barrel socks\plugs must be worn\in on all guns at all times while in the dead zone and parking area. Guns must be pointed in a safe direction (up or down), with fingers OFF the triggers. No shooting or dry firing anywhere in the dead zone or parking areas.

-No climbing trees, on the roofs of buildings or any hunting stands or blinds.

-All guns must be radared and tagged by a referee. The radar maximum speed limit is 280-fps for all caliber paintball guns.

-No Knives or fireworks are allowed on the playfield.

-Do not shoot at any animals or anyone wearing hunter orange or a referee jersey.

-No physical contact between players. Do not touch another player.

-No combat may take place in or around the outboxes or outside the field boundaries all of these will be clearly marked

Shot out and the dead box
-Paintballs that break count as a hit: headshots, body-shots, equipment and gunshots. If the paintball did not break you are still in, but you must yell "No-Break" to remain in & continue play. Spray or splatter must be in sizes of a nickel or more to count. Light spray does not count.

-Once you have been eliminated, immediately put your barrel sock\plug on\in, keep your gun pointed high in the air, yell "OUT" and head for the dead zone, keeping your goggles on at all times. Repeatedly yell that you are out to let players around you know that you are no longer a valid target. Try to stay out of the middle of combat while on your way. When you are hit, immediately leave the combat area, extra hits will happen, proceed to the dead box as quickly as possible to keep them to a minimum.

-It is a rule violation to use any eliminated player or referee as cover while the game is on. Any phony gestures to simulate that you have been eliminated, such as yelling "ouch", or handling or fumbling with a barrel sock, and you are out! Walking with your gun pointed in the air, stepping out of bounds or stretching boundary lines, and you are out! Remember, no barrel sock on your gun means that you are still a target.

-When you have arrived at the outbox there will be a stop watch, if you are the first to arrive, you must start the timer. When the timer reaches 15 minutes, everyone in the dead box who is ready to leave may re-enter play. Anyone who stays must restart the timer and wait for the next spawn. Once you leave the dead box you are considered in play.

-You are not allowed to enter an opponent’s dead box unless told to by a referee. No fire may be directed into or out of the outbox.

-If you are “IN” the game but still walk into your own outbox, it is considered a voluntary surrender and you will be required to serve your 15 minutes.

-Paint grenades & paint mines use light baby blue paint. Any speck at all from these weapons will constitute a hit.

-When you hear a whistle or an air horn, stop shooting immediately. Keep your goggles on.

-Cheaters will not be tolerated. Any player that is caught playing with obvious hits on them or their equipment, will be ejected from the game.

-No verbal / physical obscenities or gestures will be tolerated.

-The referee's call is final. Never argue with a referee.

-NO tools, which can be used to modify a Guns performance, are allowed on the playfield. All work that is needed to be done on the guns must be done in the dead box.

Miscellaneous Rules

-The referees may stop the game at any time in the event of a rule clarification; medical emergency or any other problem that presents itself. All combat stops when the game stops any fire that takes place after the fact does not count.

-Do not argue with the referees their word is final. The referees have god like powers over the game, what they say goes.

-Any rules violation will result in ejection from the game, we don’t have the resources to keep track of any warnings, so anyone caught breaking a rule will be asked to leave.(this is at the discretion of the referee)
