match lasts a maximum of 15 minutes.

2. Teams must be ready and in the On-Deck area for head count and safety check

9. All rules disputes will be settled by the War-o-Crat.

10. As always, trying to use the rules to your advantage may be disallowed
depending on how much you use the gray areas. Al l sneaky, underhanded, or
questionable rules interpretations or tactics should be cleared with the
War-o-Crat BEFORE attempting to use them.

Scenario Rules and Field Set-up

1. The field will be set up as large as the site allows. It will be least 100 ft
on a side but larger if possible. While there will not be any point-based or
location objectives, there will be barriers erected at random around the field.

2. Carports will be set up at opposite corners of the field. Each carport will
serve as a teams's base.

3. In the on deck areas, the on deck teams will be assigned to their bases.

4. As soon as the previous match is over, the on deck teams will go to their
assigned bases.

5. Barriers protect what they cover, block line of sight and are not destroyable
by any Amtgard means. For example, if a player is standing behind a waist high
barrier and is shot with an arrow in the chest, then the player is affected by
the arrow.
