Boom Coin/Card Rules

Boom Operator's Association Coin/Card Rules

 

 

1.  Rules of the game must be explained to all new coin/card holders.

 

2.  If a Boomer has never received a coin/card, then they cannot be expected to play the game.  This burden of proof is placed on the challenged.

 

3.  The coin/card are interchangeable.

 

4.  The coin/card will not be defaced (i.e., drilling, machining, etc.).

 

5.  You can be challenged anytime, anywhere.  You must produce a coin/card within 15 seconds of being challenged.

 

6.  When challenging, state whether the challenge is for a single drink or for a round of drinks.

 

7.  Failure to produce a coin/card when challenged results in the challenged buying a drink or round of drinks.  If all that are challenged produce a card/coin then the challenger is obligated to buy a drink or a round of drinks.  Once the challenged has bought, you cannot continue to challenge that individual.

 

8.  Under no circumstances can a coin/card be handed to someone.  This is considered giving it away and you must barter with that person to regain possession of your coin/card.  Place the coin/card down on a flat surface and they may pick it up to examine it.  This is not considered giving your coin/card away.

 

9.  The person who picks up the coin/card is honor bound to place it back where they got it.  You cannot be challenged while your coin/card is in someone else’s possession.

 

10.  A lost coin/card does not relieve the holder of their responsibilities.

 

11.  These rules apply to any Boom Operator or "Honorary Member".  Local rules can be used; however, apply to local Boomers only.

 

12.  The coin/card should be controlled at all times.  Giving a coin/card to anyone is like opening the association to anyone.  It is considered an HONOR to be a Boom Operator and have a coin/card.  Let's keep it that way.
