CQC Event Part 2: Registration FULL!

[Eyes On]

She's going to need to wear hand/face protection, and she's going to have to waive everyones responsibility for the camera. Our rules limit head shots in this event, but there's always that one possibility. If she can live with those terms, then she's welcome to attend.

[Matt]

I'll also be video taping as many of the phases as possible. If you have your own camera person on yours, perhaps we can share footage or something so I can be sure to include you guys in our finished video wrap-up of the event.

Less Lethal Rules:

You are allowed to use any replica that would realistically be used in a military/LE scenario. You must use the same rules that apply to all Less Lethal Platforms. If you wish to designate a shotgun as a less lethal alternative ammo gun, you CAN NOT use it as a breaching gun, or claim that only the first round was Less Lethal. In other words, it either IS lethal, or it is LESS lethal.

You may use M203/M79 platforms to fire mini-footballs designated as whatever type of ammo you want it to be. Please note the following:

If you use it launch CS or Smoke, I am going to apply duct tape to the sides and center of your goggles to simulate a gas mask or restricted visibility. If you have a gas mask, and wish to bring it/use it, I will allow you to use it instead of tape. You're going to wear it for the duration of the evolution though, be forwarned. 20 minutes in a gas mask is nothing to someone used to wearing one, but it sucks royally to the uninitiated in unfamilliar surroundings.

I will provide some PVC Tubes to simulate FBD's or OC Canisters (good idea you had there Troy, it got you guys extra points). You are allowed to bring tennis balls to simulate Frags. Any time a FBD is tossed into a room, all participants inside of the room who are not designated (by me) as "Under the Influence of Stimulants" (aka Tweakers and Crackheads) will pause from their planned activites for 3 seconds; just like last time.

There will be no demo kit this time. We will run on Mechanical Breaching Only unless we do a MOUT scenario.

Teams that are returning to this event will be graded on a steeper curve than last time.

Payment sent.

Also will my 315 fps (.25bb) m4 be accepted for the game?

[Eyes On]

Your M4 is within spec, so yeah.

[AKbandit]

Hey there, I was wondering if you need someone to take photos of the teams and other what nots for the event? I will be competing with the Reich, but during down time or before and after, I am willing to do this?????

[Eyes On]

Negative, not unless the Reich draws first team in the rotation.

Hey there, I was wondering if you need someone to take photos of the teams and other what nots for the event?

I'll be taking photos and live footage for the duration of the event. We should be covered there, I'll be present for all of the briefings so we'll be able to get shots of each full team.

Warm hints for planning:

Have a basic "Default" plan for entering and clearing a multi-room building from start to finish.

Last time the biggest mistake was over-thinking the scenario, and trying to tailor your plan to the scenario a little too neatly. If you have a default plan, then you need only make sure that everyone understands the plan as a whole, and what their role within the plan is.

I keep getting asked questions like "Are we going to do this in the dark again?"

My answer is "What does it matter?" If you have a default plan that everyone understands, then what difference does it make if you do it with the lights on or off? Have a paln, have the gear to work the plan, Have the attitude that low-light/no-light or daylight is only a state of mind, and you will be able to accomplish the mission.

"Will you screw with our comms again?"
Why do you ask? I'm going to test your abilty to execute your plan. Maybe I will do that by screwing up your comms, or putting your junior man in charge of the operation... who knows. I'm going to throw things into the works of your plan, and into its execution. There's only one thing you can do about it: Have a plan, and the capacity to execute it.

These scenarios are solid skills tests to test the veracity of your execution.

Next: This is a cumulative scoring event. Once your done with a scenario, do a solid debrief. Make sure you ID what you did wrong, what you did right, and then come up with ideas to fix it. You are going to be put in repeatable situations in each event. If you make the same mistakes twice, or worse... three times... You're going to get graded worse than making an origional mistake.

LEO and Military rules: Be ready for specific ROE's. Those don't change the physical execution of the plan except for when to squeeze the trigger.
