Registration page here (link will be active when registration opens)
Welcome to the rules for Redacted – the objective for both factions is the same – recover and extract the necessary equipment that is located in the area of operations by any means necessary. Squads will be allowed to register up to 3 players at a time (registration will allow for individual registrations as well). The goal is simple – Find, recover and extract for points and perks to your faction.
Clothing:
TRUENORTH operatives are to be dressed in green based camoflauge – this includes M81, MC Tropic, CADPAT, DPM, Solid Colour Green is also acceptable, including OD and Ranger Green.
Rothman Group operatives are to be dressed in tan based camoflauge – this includes Multicam, CADPAT Arid, Desert Camo, Solid colour Tan is also acceptable, including Coyote Tan or brown.
Helmets/Load bearing equipment are not restricted, any colour/camos can be worn by any faction – other than primarily red/orange or fluorescent colours (not authorized at any time) – see restricted colours below
Restricted event colours: YOU MAY NOT WEAR RED, OR FLUORESCENT
CLOTHING OR GEAR (defined as: Orange, Green, Yellow, Bright Blue) – these colors are restricted to event staff and photographers.
Medic Rules (Both Factions):
TQs will be required – we will not be supplying them at this event as several events already provide them. If you require a TQ, please visit an onsite vendor.
We will be using the “buddy medic” system at this event, each player can act as a medic to help fallen teammates. They may use a TQ to revive fallen players. There is a 60 second revive time per player, the medic must keep 1 hand on the player being revived for 60 seconds and then may apply a milsim TQ. During this time, the medic may use a sidearm to defend himself and his patient – the patient may not use any platform to defend himself during the healing process.
Only 1 TQ is allowed per player, but multiple TQs can be used on the same person – if others give theirs up. A medic may not use a TQ on themselves (another medic from another squad must attach a TQ and use the 60 second count).
Spawn and Start Locations:
During the meeting of Commanders on Friday evening, both factions will be allowed to choose where their squads will spawn on the field at event start. The different spawn points on the field will allow commanders to select a number of squads to start in each location. Each commander will choose these in alternating and secret fashion – they will be provided a map of starting locations and will provide grid coordinates to each squad – the squads are expected to be in this location 5 minutes prior to game start or will be required to start from the CP location.
During the game, once your squad is eliminated, you will move back to your faction CP or to a Forward deployed spawn location (if one is unlocked). You are expected to remain with your squad as much as possible – lone wolfing is not authorized during this event and if caught lone wolfing you will be asked
to return to your CP to join an Ad-Hoc squad.
Ad-Hoc Squads:
We understand that not all players are able to continue to play for the full 18 hours but some players may want to continue. If it happens that players start finding themselves solo, we ask that they coordinate with their command to form “Ad-Hoc squads” We ask that Ad-Hoc squads be 2 or more players.
On Field Props (recoverable items):
Props that are to be recovered by either squad will not be marked with a specific faction marking, but they will be marked. This will allow either team to recover them, move them to an extraction point and secure them for points for their faction.
On Field Props (Mission specific):
Props will be identified by faction specific markings – until a specific mission provided by your command requires it, you are not allowed to move, interact or disturb any props in the field. You may advise your command of prop locations and may guard these locations – but you are not to touch the props unless advised you can move it.
Safety: We consider safety the #1 priority. Airsoft is designed for the mature and level-headed player. Common sense and the right, fair-play, honest attitude are a must at our events.
We require everyone when not on the playing field to have their magazine out and safety on! All pistols must be holstered.
All players are required to attend the safety briefing prior to the start of the game.
While we encourage players to wear face protection, it is not required. Face protection will however allow players to enjoy the fast pace and often close-quarters nature of the events without fear of damage to their face and teeth.
We require that all players wear ASTM certified eye protection. ANSI Z87.1 and/or ASTM F- 1776-99a rated (or greater) ballistic eye protection will also be accepted. We do recommend full seal eye protection due to the nature of the environment we play in, but this is not an enforced requirement at this time.
There will be a Mandatory Ejection of any players lifting or removing eye protection while in “goggle on” areas (Playing Field, Chronograph Area, and Target Area)
Cease Fire: Players or staff should call “NO DUFF” if you or another player is injured or loses their eye protection and requires immediate Admin/Medical attention. You will need to both vocally and via Comms (if possible) make the “NO DUFF” call with approximate location and details of the incident – Event staff will investigate and then give the all clear when the NO DUFF has been lifted. Magazines should be removed and players will not be allowed to move around during a NO DUFF unless instructed to do so by Event Staff or if assisting with injured personnel.
EVENT AND FIELD STAFF ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE TO CONTACT LOCAL 911 SERVICES.
Situations requiring a NO DUFF call must be serious as they result in event stoppage.
Minimum Mandatory Equipment: Gun, Eye Protection, red dead rag, red dead light and camouflage or uniform to match team colors.
No verbal abuse, name-calling, profanity, etc. will be tolerated.
No stealing, vandalizing, or fighting. (You will be turned over to the police)
No Drugs or Alcohol while the event is taking place
No Barricading doors or windows and no remodeling of the fields of play.
No riot shields
Class 1 IR Lasers will be allowed, once they have been confirmed with game
staff and are marked accordingly. All other lasers are prohibited.
Flashlights are to not have a red filter – red lights designate a dead player and as such if a red light is used, it signifies that you are eliminated (RED = DEAD). Deadlights are not required to flash however it is suggested that a flashing red light be used as a deadlight. Regardless of flashing or not, RED light designates an eliminated player.
Who’s In Charge: Game Staff and Referees have the final say. No Arguing with Staff.
You must follow our rules for camo/team colors or you will not be permitted to play.

After you are hit you will follow the event specific dead/medic rules.
Grenades: Only grenades that expel BBs will count for grenade kills. Inside of a building everyone in the room will be killed. BBs must strike a player to count. In the case of Grenades ricochets count since they simulate shrapnel.
