=====GAME RULES=====
SAFETY
SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERYONE AT ALL TIMES! NO EXCEPTIONS!
Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Read ALL of the rules and obey them at all times. Any player found conducting themselves in a manner that a reasonable person would deem unsafe will be subject to correction and sanction based on the severity of the incident. If you’re in doubt as to whether an action is unsafe, always ask any of the Referees. Obey their decisions, and any further objections should be brought up to Admins.
OP VALOUR Referees and Admins will inspect all items used on the field and their decision is final. Players caught with items taken on the field without inspection are in violation of safety. All airsoft guns are tested and tagged prior to gameplay and are subject to spot-checks at the staffs discretion.
WEAPONS
Chronograph checks (.30g) shall be performed on all weapons before field entry. Bring an empty magazine to the chronograph station for certification and tagging.
Semi/Full Auto Weapons – MAX 1.64J // MAX 25RPS
Bolt-Action Rifles – MAX 2.28J
There are no ammo limits.
FACE/EYE PROTECTION
ANSI Z87.1 (or better) EYE PROTECTION must be worn at all times in the field. Players 10 to 17 MUST wear full face protection. Do not remove face/eye protection for any reason. Ask any Referee or Admin for assistance if required. Wire, mesh, shop, and ski goggles are not permitted.
PLAYER CONDUCT
Players are expected to conduct themselves in a mature, responsible and respectful manner both on and off the field. Threatening language and verbal threats, slurs against race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Players will display respect for all others as well as the gear, equipment, props and property of other players and OP VALOUR staff with utmost care and regard. Acts of vandalism will be prosecuted.
PHYSICAL CONTACT
Physically abusive or threatening behavior of any nature is strictly prohibited. Violations will be addressed accordingly.
Players are not permitted to make physical contact with another player unless signifying a melee kill (e.g. a light shoulder tap).
CHEATING
Cheating and intentional rule violations will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the game and/or a ban from all future events.
To report someone for cheating or rule violations, report the individual immediately to an OP VALOUR Referee. Do not confront the player directly during a game.
Ensure you can positively identify the individual. Give the Referee or Admin as much detail as possible, or don your kill rag and stay in visual contact with the individual.
Players observed cheating by an Admin or Referee may be ejected from the game on the spot.
MINIMUM ENGAGEMENT DISTANCES
Be courteous! Limit yourself to center mass, gear, or lower limbs when engaging at close range. The “MERCY RULE” is a courtesy.
* Players will NOT use sniper / bolt action rifles at distances less than 50ft.
* No full-auto fire at distances less than 50ft.
HITS, GUN HITS, DOWN AND DEAD RULES (“BUDDY HELP”)
Ricochets do not count from guns.
You begin as a LIVE player. Being struck by an airsoft BB anywhere on your person or gear is a HIT. You are DOWN; take a knee or lay prone, and can only call “MEDIC.” You can be dragged/carried by another player as long as it does not interfere with your eye/face protection.
You may be revived by any player by having a “bandage” tied onto your left arm and you are now WOUNDED. Play as normal. The bandage must stay on until you return to spawn. If you are HIT while WOUNDED, you are DOWN AGAIN and must be revived by any player tying a bandage on your right arm. You are now considered CRITICAL and may play as normal. If you are HIT while CRITICAL, you are DEAD and and must return to spawn.
Simple Breakdown of Hit Rules
1. LIVE – hasn’t been hit, everything is good!
2. DOWN – you’ve been hit! Call for buddy help!
3. WOUNDED – you are wearing a bandage and can play as normal!
4. DOWN AGAIN – you’re hit! Call for buddy help again!
5. CRITICAL – you are wearing two bandages and can play as normal!
6. DEAD – you’re hit while wearing two bandages and are DEAD! Return to spawn.
DOWN or DEAD players may not speak regarding strategic or tactical details until they have respawned or have been revived.
DOWN or DEAD players cannot be used as cover.
Do not pretend to be a DEAD player when you are not dead.
If your weapon in your hand is struck, it is disabled for ONE minute. If your holstered or slung weapon is struck, that is a HIT and you are DOWN or DEAD.
You may consider yourself DEAD at any time.
If you are hit by a melee attack, you are instantly DEAD, regardless if you are a LIVE player, DOWN player, or WOUNDED player.
BLIND FIRING
Blind firing is defined as firing without identifying what you are shooting at first. Blind firing includes, but is not limited to, firing around corners without aiming, or ducking under a window while firing through it.
Blind firing is a severe safety violation.
Shooting through a crack or hole (in a building or prop structure) smaller than a clenched fist is not allowed.
SPAWN CAMPING – MAIN BASE
Spawn camping is defined as a player or players who take up shooting positions outside respawn points for the sole purpose of shooting players as they return to the game. Obviously, don’t do this.
RADIO FREQUENCIES
All frequencies used are FRS frequencies, please ensure you have radios that are programmed with FRS 1-14. Channels 1 and 2 are restricted from player use and shall not be monitored by players.
Passive surveillance on enemy channels is permitted.
Jamming frequencies is not permitted.
SMOKE
YELLOW – Airstrike only. Issued and used by Admins and Referees. Players may NOT bring their own YELLOW smoke.
BLACK – Prevents a vehicle from passing through.
All other colours permitted.
Players who are within 30ft of an active yellow smoke grenade are considered HIT.
VEHICLES
OP VALOUR vehicles are used as part ofthe game scenario and are not affiliated with any one team. DO NOT throw grenades or fire RPGs at the vehicles as all vehicles are considered armoured. These vehicles are privately owned and add to the game play, please be courteous.
DO NOT LAY IN ROAD WAYS. Some vehicles have limited vision, if you hear a vehicle, clear the road! Vehicles have the right of way!
Players may not enter or climb on vehicles!

Rogue CIA Agent
The Rogue CIA Agent (CIA) is an OP VALOUR Staff Member. Several key scenario rules exist regarding the CIA:
1. The CIA can only carry one item of “DRUGS” or “MONEY” at a time. Anything in the possession of the CIA is out of play.
2. The CIA has direct authority over JIATF-N through “higher echelon”. He cannot issue orders locally, but can communicate orders to JIATF-N Commander. (If JIATF is camping the CIA, they’ll get sudden orders to go elsewhere.)
3. The CIA can temporarily delay airstrikes on his location.
4. The CIA is not subject to hit rules and must not be shot. Anyone caught doing so will lose points for their team.
=====SCENARIO FUNCTIONS=====
Items
A live player may only carry one scenario item at a time. (e.g. “MONEY” or “DRUGS”)
Do not throw any scenario items.
If you are HIT while carrying a scenario item, you must place it on the ground in a visible location. (Do not try to hide it.)
Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)
To establish a FOB, place the issued main flagstaff at a point in the ground and raise your flag. Walk 35m back towards your MAIN BASE and place the short “SPAWN” sign in the ground in a location visible to the flagstaff.
While the flag on the main flagstaff is raised, you may spawn at the short SPAWN sign. You may spawn only at your own FOB.
To destroy the FOB, lower the flag on the main flagstaff or knock the flagstaff down.
The FOB may not be moved by anyone except OP VALOUR staff.
A FOB must be placed a minimum of 150m away from the enemy MAIN BASE and any BCP.
Radio Truck
The Radio Truck may be captured by raising your flag on its flagstaff. When held, it provides a five minute warning to your team commander when the enemy requests an airstrike on a position. The truck may be stopped by a black smoke grenade thrown in its path.
Do not approach or attempt to touch the vehicle while it is in motion.
Border Control Points (BCPs)
The border between BLUE TERRITORY and CARTEL TERRITORY is porous to all players; however, “DRUGS” must be tagged by passing through a BCP before being accepted by the CIA. “MONEY” does not have to pass through a BCP.
