Capture The Flag: Urban Warfare Edition

Next date to be comfirmed..., 2pm, Outside Newnham College

The hard, mean streets of, er... the Sidgwick Site are beset with gang warfare, and it's up to us to clean them up.

The Rules

Based on the normal rules, but with a degree of flexibility. Due to the larger playing area, some non-standard rules are in place, and more changes may occur as I think of them.

Rounds will have a fixed time-limit on them, to prevent people from being left hiding all afternoon
A game of "Hold the Point" may be attempted, if timers are available
Scoring may be altered to encourage more fighting and less running huge distances
Strict boundaries of play, see below

The Weapons

Water guns, of size up to and including the XP310
CPS weapons may be allowed if it is warm enough
Rubber-band guns
Nerf weaponry and dart guns
Normal assassins knives

NB: NOT the usual tennis balls or newspapers

The Map:

Play shall take place within the red line.

Some areas are Out of Bounds. These include:

Any college property, including all of Selwyn, Clare Memorial Court, Caius Harvey Court (and gardens), King's Garden Hostel (and gardens)
Areas that are indoors
The four boundary roads and West Road.

This may result in a lot of play taking place on the Sidgwick site, but try to be imaginative. Further, players should adhere to standard CTF practise of pausing play when bystanders or other pedestrians and road-users might be unreasonably affected.

Here is a more detailed map of the Sidgwick Site
