• Any hit to any part of the body counts as a kill (including camel baks, etc).

• Hits to your gun also count as a kill.

• Friendly fire also counts! If you are hit by your teammate, you are dead.

• Ricochets do not count.

When you are hit:

• Immediately yell "hit" as loud as you can while raising your hands/gun and RUN off the playing field. It is highly recommended to have a red rag that you can place on your head as you leave the field to indicate you are dead.

• DO NOT stand in the middle of the field when you are dead! 

Field Conduct

• Do not walk into a game that is already in progress. If you were not ready by the time a game starts, wait for the next one.

• Don't shoot at the players in the field from the sideline.

• Do not intentionally block or provide cover for teamates after being hit.

• Dead men do not talk. That includes communication via the radio.

Supervisors

In order to help alleviate any potential problems, it is in the best interest to implement "Supervisors" into our SOCAL games. The Supervisors are players just like anyone else, they are there just to make sure that certain things happen and get done. This includes enforcing the rules that are dictated by SOCAL and the individual fields we play at. For example, there is no reason anyone should come to Jungle Island without a full mask or Tombstone without a barrel plug. These types of rules have always been clearly stated in the Airsoft emails, egroups emails, and on the egroups calendars. But, for some reason, these rules are sometimes not followed. Therefore, the supervisors will actively make sure that these rules are met.

Other than making sure the field and SOCAL rules are met, one of the main reasons for having the Supervisors is to help prevent unsportsmanlike situations. If there is ever any type of problem, suggestion, or whatever, any player should feel free to come up to any one of the Supervisors and tell them whatever is on their mind. If you have a problem with a certain situation, player, questions about SOCAL or field rules, or anything at all, do not hesitate to let them know what is on your mind. For example, if there is a situation where a player is yelling/swearing at another player on the field because they thought they hit them (please see Sportsmanship section), the Supervisors will work for both parties in a situation like this.

• There will be no reason for the yeller to yell because he can now approach a Supervisor about the situation so that it can be worked out. 

• Yellee can also approach a Supervisor to let them know of the unsportsmanlike attitude of the other player.

The Supervisors are, as follows: Brett "Luck" O'Connel, Tim Salazar, Helmut Fritz, Etc These people are players just like everyone else, they have simply opted to take an active role in making sure the aforementioned guidelines are met on a consistent basis.

Sportsmanship:

Airsoft is a game of honor, and as players we must take faith in the fact that other players will play honestly and call themselves out when hit. If there is ever an occurrence when you feel you have hit someone and they do not call it, DO NOT yell and swear at them in the middle of the field (or off the field for that matter). If you have a problem, civilly talk to that player and indicate your side of the story (I saw it hit your tac vest, helmet, etc.). Maybe the player didn't feel it; maybe you didn't hit them. Who knows? It's only a game. Call yourself out and wait for the next round to begin.

If a player is proven to act in an unsportsmanlike manner (yelling/cursing/acting immaturely on the field), it is up to the Supervisors if the situation is great enough to impose a month suspension from playing in SOCAL games on that player.

Fighting

Any form of physical altercation (i.e. fighting) is not tolerated whatsoever. If a player is ever involved in a fight, he/she must agree to not play at any SOCAL game for a minimum of two (2) months. If that same player is ever involved with a second fighting occurrence, that member will no longer be allowed to play at ANY SOCAL game- EVER.
