Rules

If you want to play, we must get one of the following form from you:

DMZ Airsoft Liability Form - Although we enforce safety for every airsoft player at DMZ, we must take the extra step of protecting ourselves as much as possible. A signed DMZ Airsoft Liability form is your acknowledgment that you are fully aware of the risks associated with airsoft. Once we have your liability form on file, you won't have to do one again.

DMZ Airsoft Parental Consent - (READ this MINORS)
Verifiable proof means, the waiver is signed, and a phone number where we can contact the parent before the child plays. If we call and can not get ahold of the parent, the child will not play. NOTE: If the Player is 16 and up current laws and insurance allow for the player to play with just a copy of their ID and a signed waiver.

HERE ARE THE FORMS:

Airsoft is meant to be a fun game. Rules are designed not to restrict but protect the safety of its participants and ensure each player has a good time. In developing these rules, we tried to cover realism, game play and safety. We must also keep in mind we have minors playing and that makes adhering to the rules even more important. Please monitor language and the use of force when engaging a minor. Please ensure you lock your vehicle and secure all your belongings. If there are issues among players they are encouraged to settle them amongst themselves. DMZ Airsoft Tribunal will not baby sit players. If the players cannot solve the issue on their own and become a distraction to others players, both players will be asked to leave. If police or any other law enforcement official appears on the field, place weapons on the ground and one-person approach to find out what the situation is.


Field Ejection Rules- A two warning system- you will get asked to leave for breaking any field rules, charged with cheating by two different people not on the same team, during two separate games. First time you are caught cheating you will get a warning. Second time you will be barred for the day. Any unsafe or rude behavior not covered by field rules will be at the discretion of DMZ Airsoft representatives. Anything that is illegal off the field is illegal on the field. DMZ AIRSOFT reserves the right to change rules as needed to ensure a safe and secure environment.

Behavior that will result in a day/permanent ban and or the police being called out:

Repeatedly not calling your hits

Disrespect to another player or players (example-you angrily yell and curse at another player. That player or another player asks you to stop, but you continue)

Stealing

Fighting

Illegal drug use

Drinking alcohol AT ANY TIME

Property damage

Explosives

Real firearms

Staging Area
While in the DMZ Staging Area, NO WEAPONS WILL BE FIRED or raised in a position that may be perceived as being fired. Weapons will not be fired near others. Only aim and shoot in the direction of the Chrono set up while in staging area (for safety).

Field cleanliness.
All trash must be picked up prior to leaving. Smokers please strip your butts and throw them in the trash.

All player weapons will be chronoed. There will be no exception. If a player shows up during a game, they must wait until the game is finished to play. A .2-gram BB will be used during chrono. An orange piece of tape will be placed on weapons barrel as they are checked to signify it meets safety limits.

Velocity Limits
350 fps limit with .2 gram BB for all indoor CQB style games

Personal Protection
Goggles REQUIRED. Impact rated (meets or exceeds ANSI standards) fully sealed goggles must be worn at all times on the game fields, or wraps that meet ANSI or Z-87 ratings (baklava/headscarf)
Standard eyewear is not acceptable (regular eyeglasses/sunglasses)
Full-face protection is required.

Surrender Rule
In outdoor, or non-CQB situations, an order to surrender can only be given within 10 feet. All players ordered to surrender MUST COMPLY. It is conceivable that a player can sneak up to within 10 feet of a group of players and order all of them to surrender. Please use common sense when using this rule. This rule is about safety. We understand things happen in the heat of battle. If you are surrounded and pinned down by a group of players and you know there is no other alternative except getting shot, you might want to surrender on your own.

Eliminations

Any hit from a BB anywhere on your body is an elimination (unless stated otherwise prior to playing).

Gun hits do not count.
Ricochets do not count. Any hit from a BB ricocheting off an object close to you (wall, tree, your gun, etc.) don’t count.
Friendly fire (hits from teammates) counts.

In the event of elimination, the eliminated player must yell, "HIT!” No false calls. Put on your "DEAD HAT/RAG" or simply raise your arms with your weapon above your head.
If the area is clear, the eliminated player immediately exits the playing area in the most direct route possible. If necessary, call out "HIT!" numerous times to prevent from being shot again.
If the area is "hot", the eliminated player(s) lie down on the ground and wait. It may be necessary to keep yelling, "HIT!” When the area clears, exit as described above.
While exiting, the only word from an eliminated player must be "HIT" and nothing else. Dead men tell no tales.
Eliminated players may leave equipment at the spot of elimination for use of the "surviving" members. This is at the discretion of the eliminated player. Equipment must be retrieved at the spot where the player was eliminated.
Eliminated players will not fire their weapon while leaving the battlefield.

A note on identifying hits:
When you THINK you may have gotten hit by a BB you should declare yourself hit and walk off the field. Sometimes it is VERY hard to tell if you have been hit. However, if someone fires a full-auto burst at you and you have nothing but soft cover (i.e. bushes, tall grass, etc) you probably got hit and could not tell. About the only exception is if you are lying prone on the ground and facing your attacker. Since about the only thing you have exposed is your head feeling a BB hit is MUCH easier and much less debatable. Before you accuse someone of cheating ensure you are aware of your surroundings. Is the person behind a tree, bush, or in a hole? Please also keep in mind what the person has on. Depending on the amount of gear they have on the player may simply not have felt it.

Variations (rule variations will be announced prior to game start)
Nashville Rules: Only hits to the head and torso count. Hits to the limbs DO NOT count. All other rules apply.

Medic Rules:
Instead of exiting the playing field, the 'wounded' player lies down, stays where he/she is, and calls "MEDIC!" The team's designated medic must get to the player to reactivate the player.
The wounded player cannot fire.
The wounded player may talk to teammates regarding enemy positions, etc.
The wounded player may move to a new location only if escorted by live players.

Pyro/Grenades
No paint grenades allowed. No Smoke grenades allowed. No fireworks allowed. Absolutely No pyrotechnics of any kind allowed. Use of unauthorized devices is subject to immediate dismissal and disbarment from future events.

NOTE: If the Player is 16 and up current laws and insurance allow for the player to play with just a copy of their ID and a signed waiver.
