POW

teammates tags them.

%Two flags, hung in their respective flag stations.
%One white sock per player to be provided.
30 minutes.
1. When a player is hit, he calls himself out and lays or sits on
the
ground (using common sense). The player then places a sock over the
barrel of
his paintgun to indicate that he has been hit. He cannot move from
this
location until tagged. This is referred to as Waiting.
2. If a waiting player is tagged by a teammate he is back in the
game.
(The player, of course, removes the sock.)
3. Players who are Waiting cannot shoot or disclose the positions
or
intentions of opposing players.
4. If a Waiting player is tagged by an opposing player, he is out of
the
game.
5. If a Waiting player feels that no one will find him, or he is
tired of
waiting, he can take himself out of the game. In this case the player
cannot be tagged back into the game.
6. There is no limit to how many times a player can be tagged
back into
the game.
7. Players Waiting to be tagged cannot shoot or be shot at.

%Create, depending on group size, as many three man teams as you
can.
%Odd players out will wait in the Designated Holding Area for enough
eliminated players to return and will make up the next ingoing team.
%Teams start the game in different areas of the field.
30 Minutes.
1. Once a player is hit, he proceeds to the Designated Holding
Area.
2. Once there are three players in the Designated Holding Area,
they
rejoin the game as a new team.
3. A referee will escort a newly formed team out into the field,
away
from the action and any other teams, if possible and signal their

%Two flag stations.
%Two even teams.
%Two flags, hung in their respective flag stations.
%Flag stations double as Reinforcement Rally points.
30 minutes.
1. Eliminated players go back to their flag station.
2. One player wears a special armband. This is the only player
that can
go back to the flag station to get reinforcements.
3. If the player wearing the armband is eliminated, he proceeds
back to
the flag station. He then collects those players who wish to rejoin
the
game and he himself rejoins the game. In this case the eliminated
players
have not choice but to be reinforcements. They cannot stay behind
and
defend the flag station.
4. Players can elect to stay behind and defend the flag station,
with the
exception of REINFORCEMENTS Rule 3. When they return to the flag
station they
are automatically active defenders.
5. Players returning to the flag station must physically tag the
flag to
become active defenders. If the flag is not at the flag stations the
players are considered out of the game as they enter the flag
station.
6. Players who are hit are out of the game but the player is only
out
until he reaches his flag station. Players eliminated at the flag
station
are out of the game.

TO WIN THE GAME:
Capture the opposing team's flag and return it to your base.
%Players act individually to gather trophies on the field. No teams.

to as
trophies).
%Players are interspersed in the playing field.
%A signal will sound every five minutes (referred to as the Five
Minute
Signal) and will be different than the Start and End of Game Signal.
(The
period between these signals will be referred to as the Waiting
Period.)
30 Minutes.
1. Players who are hit must drop to the ground (using common
sense) and
remain motionless and quiet until the next Five Minute Signal.
2. Another player (not necessarily the one who hit him) has the
Waiting
Period to collect one trophy. Once the trophy is taken no more
trophies
can be taken from the player during that Waiting Period.
3. When the Five Minute Signal sounds the player is immediately
in the
game.
4. Only General Rules 1, 2, and 3 apply.
