SAFETY FIRST!
Medic/Respawn/Elimination Rules
If a player is shot anywhere on his/her person (gun hits do not count), he/she must stop play, don a red kill rag and sit down. The player is now considered to be “injured.”
An “injured” player may move themselves a minimum distance if their presence is interfering with play or they are being shot repeatedly. If you are in the way or represent a safety hazard, MOVE! An “injured” player can be moved by another playing making physical contact with the player and walking the player out of harm’s way.
Each team will have a limited number of medics. Each medic will be provided with 1 roll of tape each. To heal an “injured” player, a medic must wrap tape around the player’s upper arm completely. Once the “injured” player has been wrapped, he/she is back in play. “Injured” players may be “healed” by their team medic ONCE. If a previously injured player is shot for a second time they are considered “dead” and must return to their re-spawn.
DEAD PLAYERS DO NOT TALK.
A medic who is “injured” can only be healed by another medic. A “healed” medic who is shot for a second time is considered “dead” and must return to his/her re-spawn.
Respawns will take place for players within the designated respawn area for their team.
Players may return to the game:
Every 15 minutes on the hour (1:00PM, 1:15PM, 1:3OPM, 1:45PM, 2:00PM, etc). Respawn times subject to change as deemed necessary.
OR
Once the re-spawn is filled with 10 or more players. Whichever comes first.
These respawns will be monitored and players must be within the designated respawn area in order to respawn.
Radio Channels
Channel 1: Administration. Only use this channel in case of emergencies.
Channels 2-6: Green Team
Channels 7-11: Tan Team
Gameplay
The Throwdown will be packed with non-stop, all day action consisting of numerous time sensitive objectives, as well as all day objectives. Teams will complete objectives to earn points. Each objective will be valued differently and all objectives are on a pass/fail basis. The team that secures the most points by the end of the event wins. All objectives will be secret until they are released to the COs of each team during gameplay via radio or in person.
Example: An event host or ref will radio to the CO of the Green Team at 2:05pm informing them that the Tan Team has planted a bomb in a van within the combat city. Green Team will have 30 minutes to locate and diffuse the bomb. This objective is worth 50 points and the objective timer starts now.
At the same time, an event host or ref will radio to the CO of the Tan Team: Plant a bomb in the van [location given] within the combat city and protect it until it detonates in 30 minutes. This objective is worth 50 points and the objective timer starts now.
Once an objective has been completed, another objective of a different variety will begin shortly thereafter elsewhere on the field. Some objectives will pit both teams against each other, while others may send teams off in opposite directions. Each team CO will be responsible for coordinating squads to accomplish objectives in addition to managing the team effectively throughout the entire day in order to earn the most points. In addition to the time sensitive events which may range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, there will be ongoing objectives to keep each team busy all day. These ongoing objectives will yield the same amount of points hourly.
Deuce and a Half
TC Paintball is supplying a Deuce and a Half truck for the event. The D1/2 will be used by the team with the furthest walking distance. It can be used to pick up dead players and to drop them off at respawn. It will also be used to tactically insert players anywhere on the field.
Players MAY NOT shoot from the D1/2.
Players MAY NOT shoot at the D1/2 for any reason.
Once players have unloaded from the D1/2, they are in play. Use your best judgement when shooting at players near the D1/2 and, as always, know your target!
