**Disciplinary Action will be take against any one caught removing there eye protection in the field or shooting in a non approved or in any safe zone**
Section III - Cheating
Cheating will not be condoned! In airsoft receiving hit’s is easy, having fun is not when the enemy becomes indestructible or (Super Man). In hopes to combat cheating in this hobby we have created a very simple system for eradicating cheaters. If you are caught “not calling hits”, you will be Challenged and/or ejected from the field.
CHALLENGE: If you suspect a player is not calling his/her hits do not use profanity, scream, or tell him/her that they are hit. You must ask: Are you hit? If the opposing player answers with “No” you have 2 options. The 1st is to keep shooting until a “hit is called”. The 2nd is to Call a Challenge.
HOW TO CALL A “CHALLENGE”: Raise your hand to indicate that you are (dead) & out of play. Take your Mag out of your airsoft gun, install your Barrel Cover, place the Red Rag on your head, and approach the player in question. Once you reach their position inform him/her that you are calling a CHALLENGE on him/her & that they are now out. Challenge/Call-Outs can not be rejected & must be accepted. After completion of the Challenge individual performing the Challenge must then call himself/herself out.
After the “CHALLENGE”: During a respawn game both players return to
their respawn area and then re-join the game according to the events respawn rules. During a medic game, both players should move a minimum of 100ft away and wait for their medic. And if it’s a single elimination game both players are out of that game.
•· Once the game is over both players must report the Challenge to the Airsoft field operator or referee so the Challenge can be logged.
•· You cannot Challenge groups of players.
•· Only 1 person, at a time, may be Challenged.
If you willingly choose not to Challenge a player who is “not calling hits”, in effect, you have just condoned that style of play and therefore have no right to complain about it at a later time!

When struck by any Airsoft Round yell hit until the shooter knows you have been eliminated; it’s the hit players responsibility to let All Shooter’s know he/she has been eliminated from game play; Hit Players Must (remove your Mag & install your Barrel Cover). Hold your hand & gun in the air so the individual shooting at you knows to stop, then immediately put your Red Rag on your head. Gun hits DO NOT count and neither do ricochets, all other’s are elimination hit’s.
Blind Fire: DO NOT BLIND FIRE!
Blind Firing is when a player shoots with out “looking at what he/she is shooting at”.
EXAMPLE: If you are on one side of a structure and you
think someone may be on the other side, don’t stick your gun around the
wall and fire without shouldering your Airsoft gun or looking through your “ghost sights” as you shoot.
Blind Firing is Dangerous and is not acceptable game play at Soft Air NJ. If you are caught Blind firing you will be disciplined.
