Elohim Airsoft Club is committed to a safe, fair, and enjoyable game for every player.
These rules are non-negotiable. Ignorance is not an excuse.
All players MUST wear ANSI Z87.1-rated full-seal goggles or masks at ALL times while on the field. This rule has zero exceptions. Mesh goggles are NOT permitted. Eye protection must remain on until you have exited the field boundary and entered the safe zone.
Never remove eye protection on the field, even if your lenses fog. Call a timeout and safely exit the field with eyes closed if necessary. A referee will escort you.
Barrel covers must be kept on all weapons at all times when inside the safe zone, staging area, and parking lot. Only remove when stepping onto the active field.
Every weapon must pass a chronograph check before the game begins. Rifles are limited to 400 FPS (0.20g BB). DMRs are limited to 450 FPS with a 30m Minimum Engagement Distance (MED). Sniper rifles are limited to 500 FPS with a 50m MED. Any weapon over the limit must be adjusted or left in the staging area.
Always point your weapon in a safe direction — downrange or toward the ground. Never point a weapon at anyone in the safe zone, even if the magazine is removed.
In close-quarters battle (CQB) areas or structures, semi-automatic fire only. Full-auto is strictly prohibited in confined spaces to prevent injury at close range.
Airsoft is an honor system. When you are hit by a BB anywhere on your body or primary weapon, call HIT immediately, raise your hand or dead rag, and walk to the nearest respawn point. Arguing hits is prohibited.
If you have an opponent within 5 meters who is unaware of your presence, offer a surrender by calling BANG BANG. Shooting at point-blank range is dangerous and unsportsmanlike. The opponent must accept the hit.
Sniper rifles (450 FPS+) must maintain a minimum of 50 meters from any target. DMRs must maintain 30 meters. If an opponent enters your MED, switch to a sidearm or offer a surrender. You may not fire inside your MED.
You must have visual line of sight of your target before firing. Sticking your weapon around a corner and firing without looking is prohibited. It is inaccurate, unsafe, and unsportsmanlike.
Physical contact between players is strictly forbidden at all times, including during disputes. Any player who engages in physical altercations will be immediately removed from the field and banned from future events.
If you witness an injury, lost goggle, or dangerous situation, shout CEASE FIRE loudly and repeatedly. All players must immediately stop firing and stay in place. Do not resume play until a referee calls GAME ON. Misusing the cease fire call is a serious offense.
If a player is injured, shout CEASE FIRE and do not move the injured player unless there is immediate danger. Alert a referee immediately. The staging area has a first aid kit. For serious injuries, call emergency services: 911.
If your goggles fall off or crack on the field, kneel down immediately and cover your eyes with your hands. Shout HIT GOGGLE DOWN. A referee will safely escort you off the field. Do not walk with eyes uncovered.
Referee decisions are final. Disputes must be brought calmly to a referee after the game. Aggressive behavior, verbal abuse, or cheating will result in immediate removal from the event without refund.
No alcohol or illegal substances are permitted on the field or in the staging area at any time. Any player found under the influence will be removed immediately.
Referees reserve the right to inspect any weapon or equipment at any time. Weapons that have been modified after chronographing, or are found to be over the FPS limit mid-game, will be confiscated for the remainder of the event.
By participating in any Elohim Airsoft Club event, all players acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to abide by these safety rules and guidelines. Violations may result in immediate removal from the field without refund and a ban from future events.
