General Safety Information

  • Barrel bags are required when inside the staging & camping area.
  • No Duff is a mechanism in that when “NO DUFF” is yelled, all players are to place their weapons on the ground in safe position, point to the direction that the NO DUFF was called from, and remain where you are until game control restarts the game. Failure to obey this mechanism will result in an immediate ejection of the player.
  • Players are required to wear ASTM certified eye protection. ANSI Z87.1 and/or ASTM F- 1776-99a rated (or greater) ballistic eye protection is deemed acceptable. While we do recommend full seal eye protection, it is not a requirement.
  • Face protection is not required, but recommended.
  • No drugs or alcohol may be consumed while the event is underway.

Food Drive

All donations go to the North Bay Food Bank, non perishable items only please. One bag of food is equal to one entry in the prize draw at the end of the day.

We will not be accepting cases of water (the food bank does not need them).

PRIZE GIVEAWAY ELIGIBILITY: Any ticket holder can win prizes at our event, with valid raffle tickets. WCOMOB staff cannot win the grand prize. Raffle numbers will be pulled at random by non WCO staff.

Medic System

Team medics are picked by team leaders

  • You must provide your own TQ. It cannot be red in colour (so it is not confused with a kill rag).
    • Acceptable TQ options
      • Fake Tourniquet
      • Bandage tape
      • Piece of ripped shirt
      • Rope
  • If a player is caught healing another player without a game provided medic armband, the team will be penalized by losing (1) medic for the remainder of the game.
    • This penalty can repeat for each instance observed by game staff.
  • Players carry a personal TQ on them and only a medic can apply the TQ.
    • Players can choose to carry multiple TQs, but only one can be applied by the medic regardless of how many are carried.
  • TQ can only be applied 1 time by a medic to a player, and if a player is shot again they must RTB.
  • There is no timer for applying a TQ, but players cannot assist a medic in applying TQ and cannot return to play until TQ is on them.
  • 1 minute bleed out minimum then you can choose to RTB or wait for teammates. The call is yours.
  • Medics will be identifiable by a MEDIC armband provided by game control. Medics must wear armbands to apply TQ to players.
  • Dead players should not talk or signal to other players, you may only call for a medic.

Notes: We will not penalize general banter between dead players or shooting the shit but in the spirit of the game, you should not be trying to signal to alive players any information other than you need a medic. Only losers meta that hard.

Chronograph

All airsoft guns will be checked-in at our chronograph station before game start. You are responsible for its safe usage during the event.

  • All airsoft guns must be checked in before use, no exceptions. If you require a backup gun to be chronographed after game start (due to equipment failure or other), talk to your commander and they will have the tools available to get your guns checked in.

This is your only warning, we have zero tolerance for negligence on the safe operation of your equipment. Instant zero-warning player ban for joule creep, adjusting regulator pressure, modifying guns in any way to shoot a higher velocity etc after chronograph.

Hit Rules

If you are hit anywhere on your person or gear, you are considered hit. You call out “hit” and place your kill rag on yourself (and during the night you turn on your red kill light).

  • Gun hits DO NOT count

Radio Channels

This event has defined GMRS channels designated for your team to use, please stay within them. Game staff will be monitoring the entire 462 MHz range for anyone broadcasting outside of the set channel table.

  • GMRS and FRS are different, but have a few shared channel frequencies. Check the table we provide to confirm you’re correctly configured.
  • GMRS in Canada has a 2 watt limit, please don’t cook the channels with your 15W aliexpress special.
  • Broadcasting outside of the GMRS table of channels reduces usability of radios for players both on your team, and on the opposing team.
