Blam Rules

Gameplay

• Spoons must only be held with an active muscle, and must be at least 50% visible at any one angle.
• 50% of the whole spoon must be visible AND green.
• Only plastic lime green spoons distributed by organizers count as a valid "Blammo" spoon.
• Spoons must be whole, but taping fragments together is fine. If fragments are not connected via a mechanism (e.g. tape), you are not safe.
• All legal Blammo spoons must be at least 3 inches long. Spoons can be acquired by Blammo'ing your target (they must give you their spoon if you request it), or by receiving a new spoon from Jackee after completing a challenge.
• Every two weeks from the start of Blammo, you need at least one more elimination — otherwise you are out. After two weeks: 1 elimination required. After four weeks: 2 required. Etc. Rack up eliminations early!
• Targets rotate once per week. If you are holding your spoon, you are safe. You may only hold ONE Blammo spoon at a time. Holding more than one = not safe. If multiple people are holding the same spoon, none of them are safe.
• You cannot tape or attach the spoon to yourself in any way.
• To "Blammo" a target: tap them with your valid spoon while they are not holding their valid spoon, and say "Blammo!"
• When you Blammo a target, you inherit their target. Before reporting, you must get your target to agree they were Blammoed, and have them tell you your new target. Then report via the official form.
• You may not forcibly take or hold someone else's spoon.
• You may conceal part of someone's spoon as long as at least 50% remains visible.
• You may take a spoon from someone else with their permission to protect yourself.
• Blammos are only valid outside of safe zones (see Section 2) — generally during lunch, passing periods, and before/after school.
• Impersonation of any student or teacher results in immediate disqualification.
• First offense of other rules = warning; second = disqualification (case-by-case basis).

Blammo-Free Zones

• Closed/locked bathroom stalls, locker rooms, and gender-neutral bathrooms are safe.
• ALL scheduled class, club, assembly, affinity group, and advisory times are Blammo-free.
• Classrooms are Blammo-free from scheduled start time until scheduled end time OR when all instructional time is over, whichever is later.
• Free periods are Blammo-free.
• iLab metal shop and woodshop (rooms 114 & 115) are ALWAYS Blammo-free.
• WoW workshops and trip meetings are Blammo-free (same rules as classes). Exception: if off-campus, you may Blammo during the bus/van ride there and back only.
• • Official sports practices, events, and games are Blammo-free. Bus/van rides to games are NOT Blammo-free.
• You may not Blammo a student meeting with teachers/staff (tutorial). Informal hallway chats do not count. Official peer-tutor sessions are also Blammo-free.
• You may not Blammo someone if touching them could be dangerous (e.g. during a lab).
• If a Nueva teacher, staff, or faculty declares any activity or location Blammo-free, their word is law.
• "Camping" with the intention of not getting Blammoed is a rules violation.
