The Rules
NEVER REMOVE YOUR MASK DURING A GAME!
You may only remove your mask if:
1.You are in a HOSPITAL AREA.
2.You are told to do so by a Das Spiel Marshall, AFTER a game has been ended.
SHOOTING.
It takes only ONE shot to take someone out of the mission and NOT a whole magazine. This is deemed as against the spirit of the game and a warning will be issued.
At 'Point blank' range if you must shoot please aim for the body, remember what goes around, comes around!
DECLARING A HIT.
If you are hit anywhere on your body, head, weapon, clothing, rucksack, webbing, helmet, goggles, mask, hat, shoelace, personal body aura, etc, YOU ARE HIT!
When you are hit you should: -
Shout, "HIT" loudly
Hold your weapon above your head
Make your way out of the field of play taking care to avoid other players still taking part.
"Dead men tell no tales!"
A 'Hit' Player may not talk to other players still involved in the Game. Unitl after they have reached the Hospital
HOSPITALS.
Hospitals are classed as non-playing areas i.e. there is NO SHOOTING allowed in them, at them or near them. Therefore you DO NOT shoot at them or out of them under ANY circumstances.
They are also not to be used as protection during a game by players.
The Hospitals in use for a game will be announced by the Marshall's, during the mission briefing.

HOSPITAL - SAFETY DRILL
When you are hit, your weapon is to be placed on SAFE and follow these steps BEFORE entering a HOSPITAL AREA.
Setting the selector to SAFE
Removing the Magazine and placing it in a pocket.
Pointing the weapon in a SAFE direction.
Setting the selector to SINGLE shot.
Fire the weapon 3 times in a SAFE direction.
Set the selector back to SAFE.
DO NOT re-insert the magazine in to the Weapon.
The Weapon is now SAFE.
ONLY when this process is complete you may enter the HOSPITAL zone.

The magazine may ONLY be put back into the weapon AFTER leaving the HOSPITAL AREA
CHEATING.
I.e. NOT leaving the field of play immediately once hit or ignoring a valid hit.
This will NOT be tolerated. The guilty party or parties will be asked to leave the site immediately.
No refunds will be given.
BOUNDS.
The boundaries of the site are clearly marked, on the site as well as the maps, and must be adhered to at ALL times. Failure to do so will result in ejection from the site without refund.
MARSHALLS.
Should anyone require assistance during a game, they should raise 1 hand clearly and shout "MARSHALL!", so that a member of the Das Spiel crew can come to assist them. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR MASK. Just because you have a Marshall near by you are not safe from stray BB's
ONLY an officially sanctioned Das Spiel Marshall my start and end a mission.
Their word is final. Should a Marshall be called to adjudicate a situation, the Marshall's decision is Final!
Das Spiel Marshall's are there to make sure that the game is kept clean, and will watch all players, novice and regular!
GAMES
Games will be STARTED with a SINGLE air horn/whistle blast and the words "GAME ON", and FINISHED with 2 air horn/whistle blasts and the words "GAME OVER".
On hearing 3 blasts of the air horn, ALL weapons must be set to SAFETY and the magazine REMOVED. Players will then make their way back to the Village Centre for further information.
GAME TYPES.
HOSPITAL RULES.
This is when you are hit by one or more bb's, you are also classed as a casualty, but must return to your teams HOSPITAL point for a short timed period (2 - 3 minutes) in order to be "resurrected" and re -enter the current mission.
GOLDEN GUN.
This is when you are hit by one or more bb's; you are classed as a casualty and are out of the mission until the beginning of the next mission.

MISSION BRIEFINGS.
A Das Spiel Marshall will brief all players of each individual mission objective(s) before the start of that mission.
Any special rules that are in play will also be explained (e.g. Special boundaries etc.) These special rules are only in play for that specific mission.
EXPLOSIVES.
During some missions, dummy 'Explosive' devices will be issued to teams or placed for teams to find in order to achieve the mission objective. These devices have to be placed within the target bunker and not simply placed around the outside. They may be thrown or dropped through an open doorway or window, but it may cause damage to the device and prevent 'destroying the target'.
