MAGFED RULES

1. General Rules and Game Flow

1.1 Missions:

• Your own depot must be protected at all times.
• Fireteams for missions are assigned by the General or his deputy.
• Mission items only count if they are in the depot at the end of the day.
• Players who are hit must drop mission items immediately, and any player may pick them up.
• Random chrono checks: We carry out spot-check chrono checks on the field for everyone's safety. If a marker is repeatedly over the limit, this may lead to further measures (penalty points or exclusion).

1.2 Depot:

• A depot is considered occupied as long as at least three enemy players remain within a radius of 10 meters. While it is occupied, no items can be brought there.
• The contents of an occupied depot can be looted by the opponent and moved to their own depot.

1.3 NPC:

• The roles and tasks of the NPCs are designed to be flexible and are defined in the respective mission descriptions.

1.4 Equipment & Safety Requirements:

• Wearing a mask is mandatory on the playing field at all times.
• MagFed Only; maximum of 280 FPS.
• Melee weapons may only be made of plastic or rubber.
• Teams are identified by colors (Blue/Orange); red tops are reserved for the organizers.
• From 281 to 300 FPS you will receive a warning and must adjust your FPS.
• Penalty points: for running socks see 2.2 Tolerance Points & for FPS > 300 FPS see 2.1 Warning Levels

1.5 Fair Play and Code of Conduct:

• Marked Man Don't Talk: Marked players do not pass on any information (no positions, no enemy movements, no warnings).
• Team identification: Every player must make their affiliation clearly recognizable by wearing the assigned team color (e.g. via armbands, vests or other markings). Deliberately hiding or removing the team identification is prohibited.
  For ghillie wearers the following applies: They must be marked in the team color on both arms (in the area between wrist and elbow) and on both legs (in the area between knee and ankle).
• Unsportsmanlike conduct (e.g. deliberately not acknowledging a hit, constant swearing or insults) can lead to warnings and, in case of repetition, to exclusion.
• Consumption of alcohol or drugs before or during the game is prohibited. Players who are obviously impaired will be excluded from the game.
• Blind firing is prohibited. This includes shooting without a direct line of sight to the target, for example when you only hold the marker muzzle around the corner without looking yourself. You must ensure at all times that you have your target in view and pull the trigger in a controlled manner. This prohibition serves your own safety and the safety of all other players.

2. Penalties and Warning Levels

2.1 Warning Levels for Rule Violations:

Violations of fair play, blind firing or entering restricted areas also count as rule violations and can result in warning levels.

• Warning Level 1: Warning and respawn.
• Warning Level 2: Warning and respawn + 30 minutes waiting time.
• Warning Level 3: Exclusion from the game.

Note: For minor violations the warning level stays the same; for repeated violations the warning level increases.

2.2 Tolerance Point Allotment:

Each faction starts every game day with 5 tolerance points. For every missing running sock in the HQ the faction loses 1 tolerance point.

As soon as 0 tolerance points are reached, the faction automatically loses 20 points from the current daily score. After that, the tolerance points are immediately reset to 5. Further violations on the same day again lead to a tolerance point deduction according to the same scheme.

3. Hit and Respawn Rules

3.1 Types of Hits:

• Hit: Only counts if the paint breaks and leaves a paint mark. Players mark themselves with a warning vest and withdraw from the line of fire.
• Headshot: A hit to the head forces a respawn; a medic cannot bandage a headshot.
• Marker hit: A direct hit on the marker renders it unusable; a replacement can be provided by the team.

3.2 Gotcha Rule:

• There is NO GOTCHA! A player can only be eliminated by touch (barrel tag or rubber knife).

3.3 Respawn:

• The player cleans up in the HQ and may return to the game immediately.
• Each player can be treated by the medic once per mission. For further hits only the respawn is possible.

3.4 Marked Players:

• Behavior when hit: After a hit, lower the marker, go into cover or lie on the ground and wait for the medic or return to the HQ.
• Keep the line of fire clear: Make sure that you block neither the line of sight nor the line of fire of your comrades or the opponent. Stay as inconspicuous as possible so as not to disturb the game flow.
