Shooting, hitting, and eliminating a player:
3.1.
The player does not shoot into an area where they do not have a direct line of sight.
3.2.
A hit counts on any part of the body, equipment, or weapon.
3.3.
A hit to the weapon takes that weapon out of play until the next respawn.
3.4.
Every player is required to immediately call a hit.
3.5.
A player is considered active in the game until the moment they acknowledge a hit.
3.6.
If a player is hit, they clearly signal their status by waving or raising their hand, loudly calling out "Mám," "Zásah," or "Hit," and simulating a fall to the ground.
3.7.
When struck by a melee weapon, the player simply raises their hand, shouts nothing, and is immediately considered "dead" in the game, proceeding to respawn.
3.8.
After being hit, a player remains clearly marked by a reflective vest (or a red light at night) for at least 10 minutes; during this time, another player may search them—but only for bandages or intel, not personal items. Any game-related items found during the search may be taken. Within those 10 minutes, a medic can revive the player using a bandage, granting them a full new life. If no one revives them within 10 minutes, they must proceed to the respawn point. If a player is hit again after being revived, they must go to the respawn point (their faction's base); respawns are time-based, with the specific duration to be announced at the briefing. Bandages are issued solely by the organizers; players may not use their own, as bandage distribution and rewards are managed to maintain game balance. Bandages are issued at the base before a mission (with quantities recorded) and returned upon completion—the counts must match. A hit to the weapon disables it, requiring the player to switch to a secondary weapon; if they do not have one, they cannot fight. A respawned player must always report to their commander. Do not shoot at a player who has already been hit; it has no effect. If a hit player is searched or "finished off" by an opponent's touch, they must proceed to the respawn point without the possibility of being revived by a medic.
3.9.
A player must always head to the respawn point as quickly as possible and via the shortest route to avoid obstructing active players. An eliminated player must ensure they are not used as cover; they must wear a high-visibility vest and, at night, also display a red light.
3.10.
An eliminated player must not communicate in any way—neither via sign language nor by radio—and must not influence the course of the game. Such a player must wear a reflective vest at all times; at night, they must also display a red chemical light, a red light, or an activated helmet beacon.
3.11.
A hit by a teammate counts as a hit. The procedure is the same as for a hit by an enemy.
3.12.
Throwing edged weapons is prohibited.
3.13.
A kill without shooting is possible only through physical contact with a hand or a replica melee weapon. The player must clearly inform the opponent that they have been eliminated from the game.
3.14.
The "Bang" rule (or "gotcha" rule) may be used at a distance of less than 5 meters, provided the player is undetected.
3.15.
Airsoft grenades and pyrotechnics are prohibited.
3.16.
The use of a shield is permitted.

3.17 3.17 The use of "technical" vehicles is permitted; however, the terrain is quite challenging in places, so we recommend a vehicle with high ground clearance, 4x4 capability, and an experienced driver. The mechanics for technicals are simple: a vehicle can only be disabled by eliminating the driver or by a paintball hit to the windshield or the driver's side window (paintballs will be provided). It is recommended that players modify their paintball markers to resemble rocket or grenade launchers. The driver—or any other occupant—may fire from the vehicle only when the window is fully rolled down. Firing is prohibited if a window is only partially open, though a hit through such an opening still counts as a valid hit. Vehicles that are out of play or disabled must be marked with reflective vests on both side mirrors and must have their hazard lights flashing. If the driver is eliminated, the vehicle becomes immobilized, and the crew must abandon it. Vehicle headlights must remain on for the entire duration of the event.

3.18 3.18 Team Leader Mechanics – Each squad has a Team Leader (TL) and a deputy (2iC). The TL commands the entire squad, and the squad is required to follow their orders. The TL carries a device on which the organizer installs the ATAK/ITAK application (Android/iPhone). It is advisable to have a power bank or other power source for this device, as ATAK/ITAK runs in the background and drains the battery. Specific tasks will be added to the application, and TLs will also be able to see the movement of other units. The TL collects game items, records the capture or holding of locations, and interacts with the faction commander. Both the TL and the 2iC attend briefings. If the TL is eliminated, the 2iC assumes command and all associated duties. If the 2iC is also eliminated, the squad elects a new commander. Note: The event area includes locations with weak or no signal; therefore, TLs will also be issued paper maps for marking missions, etc. It is recommended that the TL role be filled by someone capable of navigating using multiple methods—both online and offline. Maps and devices are portable and can be handed down the chain of command—from the TL to the 2iC, or to a potential new acting TL. Consequently, it is best to use an older or spare device. Each TL must bring their own device.

Conflict:
4.1. In the event of any conflict, all participants are obliged to seek out the organizer, who is obliged to resolve the dispute and, if necessary, make a decision.
4.2. The organizer's decision in any situation is final.
4.3. If it is a physical attack, the organizer will exclude the player from the event with immediate effect.
4.4. The organizer reserves the right to exclude the player based on an adequate reason from the event without the possibility of refunding the entrance fee.

Special equipment:
5.1. Use of special equipment such as thermal imaging and night vision is permitted.
5.2. The use of the drone is permitted in accordance with the applicable laws of the Slovak Republic.
5.3. Anyone who wants to use a drone is required to show a valid drone operator's flight license at registration.
5.4. Shooting at drones is strictly prohibited.
5.5. Each player uses special equipment such as drone, thermal vision, night vision, technician at own risk. The owner is responsible for any damage that may occur.
5.6. Organizer vehicles will be marked with a reflective element, the driver of this vehicle will also wear a reflective vest.
