Description:
This is a tug of war style game with a target mechanism and was inspired by the Nerf Rival Saturn target. In this game teams are attempting to shoot a rolling target(s) over a line to end the game.
Quick Reference Rules:
Players must shoot the target until it passes over the enemy line
Targets can only be shot
Infinite lives. 10 second respawn
Game ends when the target(s) pass over the line
Detailed Rules
Why would I need more than 1 target?
It could be interesting to place multiple targets so that not everyone is crowded around one target. This is more important when there are a lot of players.
What is the victory condition when there are multiple targets?
You can either play until one target passes over the line or until one team shoots the majority of the targets over the line. Note if the requirement is to shoot multiple targets across the line then once a target has crossed a line it should be considered locked and only the other targets are active.
What if I accidentally shoot a target after getting shot?
You should move it back to where it was before you hit it, assuming it doesn’t disrupt game play.
Can I use melee or throwables on a target?
No
Group-Specific Rules
Decide On...
who has the final say on a disagreement about someone getting hit.
rules for jumping over or climbing on bunkers
what types of ammo are allowed
a dart velocity limit (I like 120 fps)
whether blaster hits and friendly fire count
rules for shields and melee weapons
what signifies that a player has respawned
Other General Rules
Be respectful. It’s only a game.
Use common sense
Before touching someone's gear ask for permission
Everyone should have eye protection
Don't move bunkers
Ricochets don't count
Players shouldn't discuss what's going on if they haven't spawned back in.
Victory Condition:
The team that shoots the target(s) over the enemy line wins.

Copy of Rules
Team Indicators (Optional)
Setup Required:
Place the targets such that neither team has an unfair advantage. If using multiple targets they should not be too close together. Note the type of surface you’re placing the targets on is important as not all surfaces work very well. It may be useful to use a mat or rug as the surface for the target.
Mark off the lines that the targets need to pass using the cones
The team respawns should not be too close to the targets.
