- Essex Road is OFF LIMITS. No one can be killed on it until it crosses with Sunset Road (you would be off of the New Trier curb anyway.
- The New Trier shuttles are OFF LIMITS. You cannot be shot while on the bus, there was some dispute over this last year. Once you step off the bus, you are fair game (as long as you aren't on school property of course)
- If there is a tie after the week ends, there won't be a tiebreaker. Once the playoffs begin, ill mention tiebreakers more in another post.
The objective is to "kill" every member of one randomly-assigned team per week. If you are dead, you are done for the week and can no longer kill members of the opposing team. After 6 weeks of regular season play, there will be a bracket-style tournament to determine the champion.
Games start on Monday at 12:01 AM, and end on Sunday at 10:00 PM.
Everyone needs to tell their parents about the game. This is not a joke.
Only authorized nerf or nerf-like guns will be permitted. No nerf footballs, nerf swords, BB guns, paintball guns, or real guns. Only nerf bullets are allowed. In order to assassinate an opposing player, you must shoot the member with a nerf bullet out of a nerf or nerf-like gun. Simply touching someone with a nerf bullet does not count as an assassination.
If there is a dispute over whether someone has been shot, it is the shooter’s call. Honesty is the policy. Everything that you are wearing or holding is part of you. For example, if you get hit in the backpack, you are dead. If you get hit in the gun, you are also dead. If you are holding up a chair (shield) and the bullet hits the chair, you are dead. DEAD PLAYERS MAY NOT BE PHYSICALLY INVOLVED IN KILLING OTHER PLAYERS. THIS MEANS SHOOTNG, THROWING, OR ANY CONTACT.
New Trier grounds are off limits. This includes all buildings or fields. Once off the curb surrounding New Trier, shooting is allowed. Also, you may not shoot people in houses of worship (ie. churches, synagogues, etc.).
NERF GUNS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT SCHOOL.
If you are naked, you may not be shot and killed. You can shoot someone but you have to be completely naked. No towels or any of that garbage.
Ties are permitted during regular season play, but in the playoffs a rule to break ties will be implemented.
There are no other safety spots. You are allowed to be shot at work, sports, or anywhere else as long as you are off school grounds. Exception, you may not be shot during the duration of any New Trier event, home or away (this Includes practice). If for some reason you are nervous about being shot at some activity, you should not participate in this game.
You may be shot inside your home, however the commissioners cannot be liable for any incidents that may occur if anyone decides to break into opponents’ homes. You may enter a home at any hours. Please use common sense when considering whether or not to enter someone’s home. REMEMBER this is still illegal, so please again use your best judgement. If you do not know someone it's probably not a good idea.
Modifying your gun is allowed. However, Transforming anything into a home-made Nerf gun is not allowed.
Winner takes all, there is no second place or consolation prize of any sort. The team that does win will receive the pot of $400 cash, that’s $80 per person. Only one (team that is) can win, so don’t feel like you have to hold back, but still play by the rules and respect the integrity of the game.
There shall be no dishonest play, such as: pushing people off safe zones, lying about your teammates, or lying about your status as a player.
