-== Headshots - Three Strike Rule ==
+== Headshot Rule ==
-'''1.''' The first time a fighter hits someone in the head they are dead for that action. They should be reporting it themselves to one elder. This is a matter of personal accountability and we can only trust is a personal honor of the individuals on the field if it is not spotted by an elder. The injured should go talk to a medic.
+'''1.'''  If you hit someone in the head, call yourself dead.
-'''2.''' The second time a fighter hits someone in the head they go speak with an elder and they try together to figure out what do you shoot with us. Is the Fighter overheated? Is the fighter in a bad headspace? Does the technique need refinement? They work together to try and find a solution. This is meant to be leadership reaching out and assisting the player base.
+- If someone headshots you hard, let an elder or other leadership know, and please check in with one of the volunteer medics.
-'''3.''' The third time a fighter hits someone in the head during an event they are off the field for the remainder of that event. They will not be ditching. We will not be doing battle games. They will not be doing land actions. The only time they should have a weapon in their hand is if they partner with an elder a noble or a EB member to try and refine technique. Directly supervised training with a veteran fighter who also is an elder. We do not want them out to continuing to be a danger but we do not want to limit an opportunity for them to correct their mistake by training one on one.
+'''2.'''  If you find yourself dealing/causing multiple headshots, take a break off the field and assess what the problem might be.  (Some examples might be: needing more practice in safe fighting, not aiming for shoulder shots, using equipment that is weighted better for your current fitness level, or cooling off because you've become heated and aren't fighting safely.)
-'''Additionally:''' if an individual is deliberately taking head shots or blocking with their head, they will suffer the same penalties as someone dealing a head shot.  This may be expedited, because they are deliberately cheating and creating an unsafe situation for everyone involved.
+- It should go without saying, but if it becomes a pattern you'll be removed from the field by an elder for the day, and potentially future events, depending on the severity of the rule violation.
