The game rules are simple:

Two teams of five occupy the field and are separated by a 20 foot Safe Zone. At the beginning of the game each team starts from from their respective end lines and sprints to the center of the field. There they grab arrows, return to their side of the field, dodging and ducking behind “bunkers” while trying to eliminate their opponents. When playing a standard Elimination game, players are “out” when struck by an opponent’s arrow and remain on the sideline until they are brought back into play. A teammate who is “out” can be brought back into the match when a teammate catches an opponents’ arrow, or knocks out a spot from the other team’s 5-spot target.  The team with the most remaining players and targets wins!
