* Please follow the specific directions given for your injury/scenario. Do not ‘ad lib’. Injuries are designed to give responders specific clues, and any changing of those clues could put you in a different category, making it difficult to assess responder performance and skill. It is extremely important that you maintain your assigned vitals, chief complaints and any additional directions you’ve been given. | * Please follow the specific directions given for your injury/scenario.

* Players (rescuers) begin to arrive | * Players (rescuers) begin to arrive shortly after you do, and will be staged in the lobby. If at all possible, please do not let them see you. If they do, they'll see the injuries they may need to treat ahead of time and that's a little like getting exam answers surreptitiously. | ||
* Do not bring a multitool into the facility. '''<u>All</u>''' of us are patted down for weapons when we enter the exercise space, and blades are not allowed. | |||

Again, stop the exercise by saying "REAL WORLD" if you feel unsafe. Proctors will also be watching and will stop the exercise if they feel concerned about the techniques used by the Players. | ||
* Also, Players should ''never'' transport Survivors up or down stairs. If you are being carried, the Players should place you down, walk you down the stairs, and then resume the carry. | |||
==== When the Exercise ends ==== | |||
* You are welcome to join the hotwash discussion, and make observations of the response effort by Players. | |||
* Please be sure to turn in your lanyard and injury card to PBEM or back to the moulage technicians. | |||
