The Op

Phase I: CTF Omar vs. Grizzly Den – Unlimited respawn

One flag will be at Outpost Omar, the other at what will eventually be The Village. Capture the enemy’s flag while defending your own. Phase I will be 45 minutes long.

Phase II: CTF Grizzly Den vs. Outpost Omar – Unlimited respawn

The same as phase one, but the teams switch starting positions. Phase II will also be 45 minutes long.

Phase III: Three Kings – Unlimited respawn

A cache of gold bullion was reportedly dropped somewhere inside the AOE. The team that finds it and safely returns it to their home base is the victor. If one team quickly overwhelms the other, we will extend the game with “defend the gold”.

The crate is heavy, and MUST be carried by two people. If one of the players carrying the crate is shot, they must immediately drop (set down) the crate after calling “hit” and immediately return to their respawn for their 3-minute cooldown. The remaining player is not allowed to “muscle” the crate themselves. They are not allowed to drag the crate. It must remain in place.

If the crate is shot, BOTH players are hit, and must set down the crate and immediately return to their spawn for the 3-minute cooldown.

Players cannot carry the crate and use their weapons at the same time. If they need to return fire, they must set the crate down.

Reminder: No person shall be denied participation at Southern Aroostook Action Sports on the basis of body type, citizenship, ethnicity, experience level, gender identity, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.
