- Go back to your respawn point for 1 minute to be able to use your airsoft replica again.
C) When you're out:
1) If this is your first hit:
- Shout "OUT!" clearly and audibly from a distance while raising your hand in the air and then get down on your knees or on the ground, keeping your kill rag in view throughout this phase (of course if you have health problems related to your knees or anything else, inform the organizer who will allow you to stay up)
- If you are in the way of the game too much, you can take one or two steps to the side so as not to get in the way and then kneel or lie down.
- You can stay out for up to 120 seconds in order to be healed. If you feel that you will not be healed, you are free to go directly to your respawn point.
- You can also say "medic" or call for a medic on the radio.
- If a doctor has treated you during the 120 seconds, shout out loud "back in game".
2) If you have already been treated:
- Shout "OUT DEF!" clearly and audibly from a distance while raising your hand in the air and then you may return to your respawn point. HOWEVER, you must let the current action finish and not interfere with the game.
3) At the respawn point:
- Respawn rules may vary from scenario to scenario, so be sure to pay attention during briefings.
- Timer respawns can be done, e.g. when on a clock you see the number 'two' last and at the minutes, you can return to the game.

- Remove your healing armband from your arm when you go back into the game, you get a new life every time you respawn and can therefore get healed again.

- Any interruption of healing causes the healing procedure to be reset.
- Keep your kill-rag on your arm to indicate that you have already been hit.
- If you reach 120 seconds and no medic has healed you are permanently OUT, move around while keeping one hand up and signalling on your way back to your respawn point.
