C. ELIMINATION!

1. A direct hit on any part of the player’s body constitutes a “kill” or elimination. This includes hits on the person’s clothing, headgear, and equipment attached to his/her body that would be in the direct path or trajectory of the BB to the targets body. We aren’t shooting each other on the field, we are shooting targets unless we are doing supervised tactical training in the CQB house.

2. Ricochets will not be considered direct hits, intentional, or otherwise. Penetrating shots are those passing through grass, bush, leaves, or thin material used for cover. They are not considered ricochets even if their trajectories may be somewhat deflected. Instead, they are to be considered as direct hits if they make contact with the targets on the other side.

3. A hit from a player’s own teammate, or “Friendly Fire”, also counts as elimination. We aren’t shooting each other on the field. We are shooting targets. Only time we may be firing at each other is in the CQB house doing tactical training under supervision.

4. Hit players are to confirm their elimination by shouting aloud the word(s) DEAD or HIT, and furthermore, should hold their weapon above their head and proceed to the dead zone. Any player resuming play, or firing a weapon at an opponent while “Faking Elimination” will be considered cheating and be removed.

5. No Holding or Grappling! a. Physical contact between players is not permitted. This is to include excessive shooting of a player and or a game Referee. If a player is caught shooting a referee on purpose or supposed accident, the offending player will be removed from game play. No fighting on the obstacle course.

b. Holding on to an opponent, his/her gun, or equipment (Grappling) is not allowed.

c. Exception, however, would be light taps on any part of the opponent’s body, gun, and/or equipment. Such action will be considered as silent elimination or “Knife Kill” of a particular opponent.

6. Avoid Inflicting Unnecessary Pain! a. Point-blank shooting is NOT ALLOWED. Players who encounter opponents at point-blank range (less than 10 feet away) must first demand their opponents SURRENDER. The opponent may choose to not surrender and try to escape, at which point the player is allowed to shoot at point-blank range SEMI AUTO ONLY.

b. Player should immediately stop shooting at opponents that have signified elimination or surrender. eliminated players should make sure their elimination is made clearly obvious to avoid getting shot further, or repeatedly.

7. Knives a. Real knives are banned fromBlue Collar Farm Airsoft Games. DO NOT bring them. You will be asked to return them to your vehicle for the duration of the game.

8. Dead Men Tell No Tales! a. Eliminated players must refrain from giving hints, clues, or instructions to other players, still active in an on-going game, which may affect the outcome of an engagement or a game – particularly during a tournament or competition.

b. Referees and observers should likewise refrain from passing information, unless the game in progress is being run as training or learning exercise.

9. No Time Out! a. Once game is in play, no call for a time out will be entertained except in cases of extreme emergency such as serious injury or dispute pertinent to game play.

b. Players, who cannot continue in the game or obstacle’s for any reason must necessarily eliminate him or herself from the game. They should hold their gun above their head and walk back to the safe area.

c. Those who suffer from equipment breakdown, shortage of ammunition and/or air supply, but desire to remain in the game, must necessarily remedy their situation. The player must exit from the field in order to repair or re-supply, and then return back in at their appropriate point.

10. Referee Decision is Final! Rightly or wrongly, the referees’ call is final. His/her responsibility is to oversee the general conduct and safety of the game, player and obstacles adherence to the rules and smooth flow of game action unhampered by time wasting arguments. Officially assigned referees will be wearing specific staff/ referee shirts, anybody else making field calls without the proper marking will be considered a casual observer.

11. Observe Proper Conduct At All Times! a. Show respect for all other players, referees, and other officials.

b. Foul language is strictly forbidden. Repeated offenses may lead to elimination from the current scenario or from Blue Collar Farm.

Blue Collar Farm is a family environment and rude or inappropriate behavior is not encouraged or permitted.

c. Respect and follow the rules, as outlined. These have been set down to give the best possible considerations for safety, realism, playability, and fairness to all players and observers.
