FGF-2020-MAP

SAFETY:


Age Requirements
Children must be 12 years old or older in order to play; they must have a signed waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian, they must be able to follow the directions, rules and regulations, given by Field Marshals at all times. Any player including an adult player can be suspended or expelled from our field or our property for failing to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner at any time. 

Eye and Face Protection

  • Qualifying eye protection must be full seal ANZI Z87.1 rated eye protection with a retention strap. All eye protection must be on before entering the playing field, and at all times during game. 
  • Under 18 –  must wear a full-face paintball mask, or full seal goggles and mesh or hard plastic lower face protection. (Shemaghs, neoprene masks, and mouth guards do not qualify) 
  • Over 18+ – can wear just full seal goggles with retention; however full face protection is still recommended
  • Mesh goggles, ski goggles, shooters & gas masks are not allowed. 
  • Night vision goggles users still must be compliant with our goggle rules.
  • Do not remove or ventilate goggles during game. Notify Referees if you need to clear your goggles; so you can do so safely. If caught taking eye pro off for any reason while on the playing field you will be asked to step out of play. If the problem continues, leave.
  • If you lose your eye protection in the game; immediately place your arm over your eyes while raising your other hand over your head THEN call “CEASE FIRE”. Do not uncover your eyes for anyone other than a Ref. If you see someone in this position call “CEASE FIRE” and notify a ref.

Cease Fire
Cease fires may be called in the situation of Medical Emergency (life, limb, or eye sight), Fire, or Wildlife. When a CEASE FIRE is called all participants must
1. STOP PLAYING
2. ECHO THE COMMAND
3. DISPLAY SAFETY FLAG AND KEEP GOGGLES ON
4. REMAIN IN PLACE AND WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS FROM STAFF
Cease fire shall not be called in the situation where someone is overshooting you and you want it to stop. 

Dead Rags
All players MUST carry two dead rags on them at all times and store them in two separate locations.  This rule ensures that if one dead rag is lost the player will not create confusion being “dead” without an available dead rag for their head. We encourage attaching a dead rag to a pouch to always have one.
(Dead rags can be red, white, yellow, or blaze orange. Should also be able to cover whole head ) 

Barrel Bags 
When in the break area, mags out, guns cleared and safety’s on. Barrel blockers are required on all guns. Gloves, plastic caps, etc; do not qualify.

Permitted items
Asides from chrono’d airsoft guns. Training and foam/boffing swords are allowed and must be checked before use. Enola Gaye pea grenades and smoke grenades are also allowed. TAGinn grenades are permissible but please always check in with a Field Marshal prior to using any grenade. 

Prohibited Items
Firearms and Live Ammunition, Any blade longer than 4 inches, Mace, Pepper Spray or any other nonlethal weapon, Improvised or non approved airsoft grenades, Potato guns or any compressed air launcher. Absolutely no alcohol or illegal narcotics.

All of the following carry the penalty of expulsion from the field if violated:

  • Bringing prohibited items onto the playing field.
  • Any language that is deemed verbally aggressive I.E. threats, slurs, vulgar gestures, condescending language.
  • Any physical aggression or unwanted physical contact. I. E. striking, grabbing, shooting outside of gameplay.
  • Theft from private persons or the field.
  • Aiming or firing at wildlife
  • Do NOT climb or ram the buildings, structures or props. Damaging, spray painting, or barricading buildings is not tolerated and players seen doing so will be banned. Please report said behavior.
  • All patrons are expected to act with integrity and maturity. Anyone who becomes a danger to themselves or the field will be ejected from the facility immediately. (This can include skipping chrono) 

 

GAMEPLAY: 

Field Marshals
Field Marshals are the supreme authority on the field. They are here to give players a fun safe time. Please be respectful and comply with all requests from Marshals. Marshals must be informed of any gameplay problems and real world emergencies.

Boundaries
All boundaries are clearly marked with pink tape. Do not cross outside of or shoot through the pink caution tape. Additionally, the brook is a natural field boundary. You may walk in the brook, but may not cross for any reason (Consider it a mine field, cross that line and consider yourself dead) 

Hit Calling

  • Airsoft is an honor sport, the game hinges on the integrity of the players.
  • Call your own hits. Never call opposing participants hits.
  • Any BB strike to your body, gear, or weapon counts as a HIT. (Including friendly fire) Ricochets do not count.  Players who are being transported or medic’d count as part of your gear.
  • If two participants fire simultaneously and both are hit, BOTH participants are out.
  • When hit a player should yell “HIT” as loud as possible, raise his or her dead rag, and assume a non threatening position. Often it is difficult to hear participants over the noise of firing AEG’s and or through brush even at short distances, so do your best to let opposing participants know you have been hit otherwise they may continue to inadvertently fire at you.
    BE LOUD AS YOU CAN.
  • Dead players may not talk, or communicate in any fashion with other players.

When you shoot at another player, one of four things will occur:

  1. You hit them and they call out that they are hit. Stop shooting them.
  2. You see them, you think you hit them but in fact, you did not hit them and they don’t call their hit. (Tempting you to lose your cool when you shouldn’t.)
  3. You hit them, they honestly don’t realize they were hit and they don’t call their hit. (Further temptation to start whining and crying.)
  4. You hit them, they know they were hit but they apparently do not have the emotional capacity to call their hit. Stay calm and shoot them again. You may report to the marshals anyone you think is not calling their hit.

Medics
Medics are designated players who can heal dead friendlies back to life by tapping them for a full sixty seconds. Anyone can move a dead friendly player by maintaining physical contact. Medics may not shoot or move while healing a dead player. If a player is shot while a medic is touching them then medic is also dead.

Respawn
A respawn is a designated area that dead players can walk to, tap and come back to life. Players must go all the way to respawn. They cannot start on the way to respawn and stop for any reason before reaching their respawn point. Spawn camping, although unsportsmanlike – can happen. Players must work together to protect their spawn point from enemy players. 



WEAPONS:

Rules of Engagement
Try and aim for center mass when at all possible. Blind firing is not allowed, weapons should always be shouldered and players should have the ability to aim down the sights when firing. Crack shooting is not allowed. Please use your brain, if you cant put both your fist together through the hole do not fire through it.  All weapons must be on semi automatic inside of buildings. Full auto fire is prohibited within fifty feet. Melee weapons may be thrown under hand but never over hand. They should also never be used to jab but instead slashed. 

Gun Safety

  • When in the break area, mags out, guns cleared and safety’s on. Barrel blockers are required. While socks are a substitute gloves, plastic caps etc; do not qualify.
  • Dry firing may only be done in the break area with the barrel bag on and muzzle inside an enclosed container. ex: the trunk of a car or a gear bag.
  • All GUNS AND PISTOLS MUST BE CHRONOGRAPHED BEFORE USE IN PLAY, YOU SHOULD CHRONO ALL GUNS AFTER CHECK-IN. CHRONO TAPE SHOULD BE REMOVED AT THE END OF THE DAY. CHRONO TAPE CHANGES EVERY WEEKEND. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COLLECT THE RAINBOW.
  • If you feel anyone has a hot gun; please step out of play and identify the accused to the Ref/staff immediately so the situation can be dealt with.

Feet Per Second Limitations
All weapons must be chronographed each time they are brought to the field.  HPA and Gas rifles must be chronoed with .40 gram BB’s, and locked. This is to calculate for joule creep to remain under the joule limit. All HPA systems must also have the ability to be tournament locked.

Ammunition
We require all players to use Bio BB’s. We sell them in our store if you do not have them.
Crossman, Walmart, or other cheap BB’s such as .12 are NOT allowed.

Pistols / Rifles / Shotguns :  must be under 420 FPS w.20s or 1.64j
(0) ft MED on semi / 50 ft MED on Full)

LMGs / MMG’s : must be under 420 FPS w/.20s or 1.64j
(50 ft MED on Full) (For MILSIM OPS Machine Gunners will be required to carry a semi auto capable secondary for engagements closer than 50 feet) 

Sniper / DMRs : must be under 550 FPS w/.20s or 2.75j
(100ft MED/certified) (For MILSIM OPS Snipers will be required to carry a semi auto capable secondary for engagements closer than 100 feet) 

RATE OF FIRE:
(No weapon may shoot over 25 rounds per second, if over player will be limited to semi auto)

Grenades 

  • Grenades kill all in a single room, or anyone within 10 feet /3 meters unless behind hard coverage. Participants behind solid cover (rocks, hills, bunkers, vehicles and trees much larger than their body) with the cover between them and the point of impact of the grenade are considered alive. Grenades should always be thrown under hand, never over. Grenades can not be thrown over building walls, all buildings have simulated roofs.
    General rule of thumb =
    If it went bang or spit out BB’s –  it was grenade. 
  • 40mm’s must fire BB’s and or foam rounds. (40 mike mikes and TAGinns are allowed but have a 50 foot minimal engagement distance and should never be directly fired at people) 
  • Vehicles may be taken out by foam / nerf rockets or 40mm grenades (excluding BB showers). One (1) rocket or 40mm grenade impact equals a kill on the vehicle. 
  • Use of smoke grenades, pea grenades, TAGs Grenades, and flash grenades are authorized for participant use based on fire safety conditions at the venue on the day of the event. 
  • ONLY ENOLA GAYE SMOKE GRENADES ARE ALLOWED. PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS
  • FGF Airsoft does NOT allow black or white smoke grenades. Color smokes only. 
  • Smoke grenades are not authorized for use inside buildings and structures. 
  • If you throw a grenade you are responsible for monitoring the effects of your grenade. If a fire occurs, you are required to call cease fire. 

Melee 

  • Melee weapons can be anything from a rubber knife, a boffing/nerf sword, or just your hand.
  • A light tap or slash on any part of a players equipment is considered a hit.  
  • Melee weapons should never be “whipped” or used to “stab”. 
  • Melee weapons should never be thrown into the air. Instead, lightly thrown or tossed under hand.
  • Hard training weapons like cold steel tomahawks / swords are NOT allowed.

MILSIM RULES:

Feel Good Farms Airsoft hosts several MILSIM operations throughout the regular season. These ops are meant to push players into an immersive experience in a simulated event. All of these events have taken months of planning, have full write ups that can be located on the event page, and often have specific rules for the event. So please make sure you are familiar with all these details prior to attending. Additionally, we ask that all players show up on time, go to Check-in, chrono, be prepared for PCI, and attend the briefing.  MILSIM operations are played with points in mind. Taking objectives, completing FRAGO missions, and good team work earn you more points. While things like lack of conduct, uniform irregularities, lack of preparation, and participation will lose you the battle. So make sure you’re squared away.

Terms
MILSIM = Military Simulation
PCI = Pre Check In (All players should arrive on time for the event and attend PCI. All players who come late must wait to be checked before entering the player field. Players must meet all the requirements of the packlist or they will not be allowed onto the field)
TACSOP= An acronym commonly used by the U.S. military for TACtical Standing Operating Procedure. The TACSOP is essentially the “game-plan” that squads follow when conducting tactical operations.
(These are typically sent through email after purchasing a ticket or the days before the event)
OPORD = A planned format meant to assist subordinate units with the conduct of MILSIM OPS.
These are broken down into five easy to read paragraphs. Situation, Mission, Execution, Sustainment, and Command / Control. ( Will come with TACSOP )
FRAGO = Fragmentary order. Usually a direct order from command, not specified on OPORD.
CCP = Casualty Collection Point ( Main respawn point that does not change throughout the game) 
CP = Capture Point ( Flag objective that must be controlled by your team for points) 
FOB = Forward Operating Base ( A capturable respawn point)
= Marks the spot. Generally a capture point or objective on the event map. 

Golden Rules:
1. NEVER FORGET THIS IS A GAME!
2. KEEP YOUR EYE PROTECTION ON AT ALL TIMES
3. SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY PARTICIPANT. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING UNSAFE CALL FOR A CEASE FIRE AND ALERT THE NEAREST GAME STAFFER.
4. Wear proper protective equipment for your environment for example sturdy boots for our challenging terrain, and to pack a rain jacket that works with your faction colors (And as always pack spare socks)
5. Always respond to CEASE FIRE calls on the field. Echo the command and remain in place.
6. Be accountable for yourself. If you are having a medical or personal problem that is causing a danger to you or others don’t hesitate to tell Game Staff. If you need medical attention they can coordinate whether it be a ride back to the parking lot to return home or get medication. If you need to leave for any reason please tell Game Staff, your SL or your Team Commanders before leaving so they know that you are gone and not lying somewhere on the field with a compound stress fracture and dehydration waiting for death to come and take you.
7. Always observe and recover any pyro you throw. Make sure you are throwing on a non flammable surface, if a brush fire does start you are the first one responsible for pulling a safety flag, stomping it out and dousing the source and waiting at least 5 minutes to check for smoldering embers. All brush fires will be reported to Game Staff. Remember if you need more than 9 people to smother a brush fire call a cease fire and withdraw to a safe distance
9.) If separated from your squad, return and remain at respawn until you regroup. Should never be out on your own. Do not go on any missions to relocate your squad on your own. Stay at respawn.
10.) Treat all event participants with respect and dignity. Our events are designed around providing you with a fun experience. There is no win or lose and therefore no need to get competitive.

“Wounded” RULES:

  • Once you are hit you are now considered “wounded”.  
  • While wounded, you must remain in place until a team mate either moves you, (Drag or shoulder carry the “wounded” participant with their consent) or until a medic heals you. 
  • While waiting in place, please do not talk to teammates, reload, or test-fire your weapon or anything else other than calling for a medic* – reloading sounds and “test firing” cause a distraction for live participants in the area who may inadvertently believe you are still in-event and therefore shoot at you.
  • Medics can “heal” by bandaging a wounded player. Players may not be bandaged more than twice. If a player is hit after being healed a second time – they must drink a 8oz Water Bottle (Simulated IV) provided by a medic. If no waters are available, a player will bleed out and his squad must REDCON
  • If a Medic does not reach you in the first 5 minutes after you are hit, you will “bleed-out” and are now considered “killed” and therefore are “dead”. At this point please follow the being “KILLED” makes you “DEAD” rules. 

“Killed” Rules / REDCON:
Do not walk back to respawn on your own. Wait for your squad leaders signal to REDCON and leave the area as a group. Deploy dead rags and remain quiet about event details as you walk by players. Playes seen talking about the event details while dead will have points deducted from their team. Squad leaders should always check back with command after REDCON and all players must drink water  before reentering the game.

“Searching”
Searching participants for intel is allowed and highly encouraged. The search procedure may take place while a participant is either “Wounded” or “Dead.” This also includes stopping a “dead” participant while they are walking back to the medic or CCP. • There are two ways to search someone. First ask the participant if they authorize you to search them. Then:

1. If they say yes then they have given you consent to go hands on and check them for intel. Please be respectful of the participant being searched and do not cause physical harm. If at anytime the searched participant asks you to stop then you must immediately stop and proceed to #2 below.

2. If the participant says no, or asks you to stop after saying yes, then you need to ask them for the specific items you wish to inspect such as, radios, maps, notebook, playbooks, loose ammo, etc. The participant being asked for this information must give it up freely without resistance. The searching participant is then free to take notes or pictures of any items captured. Once complete the searching participant must return all the items to the searched participant.

 

Weapon/Class Restrictions:

Magazines 

  • Players are not allowed to reload magazines on the field or in combat. This should only be done at your spawn point / FOB. 
  • Box/drum magazines are restricted to use by LMG/MMG Gunners. This is meant to keep the playing field level and place importance on the proper emplacement, fire control measures, and use of LMG/MMGs.
  • Mid-caps, standard magazines and low-capacity magazines are the only magazines allowed for non-LMG/MMG class weapons. (there are NO restrictions in the amount of mags you can carry)

RFL

  • Riflemen / anyone who is not a Gunner is restricted to semi auto fire
  • There is a zero foot minimal engagement distance on semi auto, although surrenders are allowed they are not required. 
  • Rifleman can carry either all mid / low caps or one highcap, No exceptions. Players will be checked for this at PCI. 

GRN 

  • 9 man squads are limited to 2 Grenadier class type weapons each. 
  • If a designated Grenadier participant gets hit, his/her teammates MAY use those weapons while the “wounded” participant is awaiting to be “treated.” Always be sure to ask for consent before using any equipment that isn’t your own.
  • Rockets & 40mm Grenades must be lobbed and should never be fired straight at participants or other targets. May not be fired within 50’ of targets. 
  • Rockets & 40mm Grenades have a “kill” radius of 10’ from the point of impact. If detonated in a room or hallway every participant in that room or hallway is considered hit and “wounded”. 
  • Participants behind no cover or soft cover (Bushes, Shrubs, Grass, and Small Trees) are “wounded” and must follow “healing” procedures. 
  • Participants behind solid cover (rocks, hills, bunkers, vehicles and trees much larger than their body) with the cover between them and the point of impact of the rocket are considered alive. 
  • Vehicles may be taken out by rockets or 40mm grenades (excluding BB showers) only. 1 rocket or 40mm grenade equals a kill on the vehicle, the driver, and the TC. All passengers are considered wounded and must follow “Wounded” rules. (Chalk rounds work the same as pyro rounds on vehicles) 
  • Spud guns are banned, no exceptions. 

 

LMG / MMG
(Note this is for M240B, M60, MK48, M249, M60, MG36, RPK, PKM, MG42, Krytac LMG/Shrike only)

  • Squads are limited to 2x LMG or 1x LMG and 1x MMG class weapons each. 
  • Gunners are not allowed to reload or otherwise “Dump ammo” into their box mag out of spawn. They are however allowed to carry multiple box mags. If a gunner needs to reload and does not have a spare box mag they should head back to a spawn to reload with the rest of their squad. 
  • It’s a good practice to take over control of a LMG/MMG when the gunner gets hit. The LMG/MMG is the platoon’s greatest casualty producing weapon system and therefore it’s constant manning is highly encouraged. Once the LMG/MMG gunner is either “treated” or “healed” allow them to take back over operation of the weapon system.  
  • Always be sure to ask for consent before using any equipment that isn’t your own.

 

SNP / MRK / SCRT

  • Snipers or Marksman must have taken a FGF Sniper Certified Recon Team (SCRT) course prior to attending the event (there are no exceptions to this rule)
