Game Mode Rules

During our standard monthly airsoft meetings, we usually play a verity of game modes such as VIP, point capture, Capture the Hill, and standard Team Death Match. These modes all have specific rules to keep the games fair and moving smoothly. Before each game, the teams will be briefed on game rules to avoid any possible misunderstanding.

Very Important Person (VIP)

The game VIP has two teams, these two teams consist of a defending team, and a VIP team. In most cases the VIP team outnumbers the defending team 3 to 1. The defending team will have a few minutes to hide along the main road known as the highway or in the flats. The goal of the game is for the VIP and his team to safely escort an ammo can to the end of the highway or flats. The defending teams goal is to eliminate all players, however the defending team can also win by capturing the ammo can before it reaches the end of the Highway. If the player carring the ammo can is killed the ammo can stays where the player was killed for another player to pick up and continue on with.

Rules:

Every player has one life, after being killed players may chose to lay dead or return to home base.

The VIP team and defenders must stay within the smaller boundaries' set before the game

The VIP must stay with the rest of the VIP team at all times.

Full auto is allowed, however blind fire and overshooting will not be tolerated.

This is a fast paced game, if the game continues too long, rules may change to push players along.

Team Death Match

Team Death Match is a battle to the death by two even teams. Teams start on either side of the map and utilize team tactics in able to eliminate enemy players. When a player is eliminated, they return to their spawn point and wait 30 seconds before joining back in the fight. The game ends when the referee calls game over after specific time amount. There is no clear victorious team, however, modifications with one life and medics have been used in the past. This is a slower maneuver based game, respawn times may change to push players along in case of uneven teams. Team Death match may also be separated into more smaller teams, such as more teams of two or three.

Capture the Hill

Capture the Hill requires two teams, A larger invading team and a much smaller defending team. The defending team sets up positions at the top of a hill (hills may change). The defending teams goal is to defend the hill by killing the entirety of the enemy team. the invading team has the privilege of starting at the bottom of the hill. Their mission is to charge the long often flat distance and eliminate all defending players. Which ever team is left standing is considered the winner. Please note that this game mode is for fun and is often not the most fair game mode. All participants are allowed to use full auto within an acceptable range. This is an extremely fast paced game, the invading team must always be moving not staying still for more then a minute. Game boundaries, and team size will be communicated at the game debrief.

Point Capture

Point capture games utilize two even teams. These two teams battle to capture and hold 3 predetermined points on the field. points are captured by raising the team colors over the captured point. Players that have been hit can respawn at team respawns allowing them to keep playing. The game will run for a set time, whoever holds the most points at the end of the time wins the game.
