Typical hazards & measures
Straying outside the designated play area

Heat exhaustion or dehydration
— Provide access to water stations and encourage hydration breaks. Schedule the game during cooler times of day, if possible. Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, and ensure shaded rest areas are available.
Overcrowding
— Ensure that the play area is large enough to accommodate the number of participants. Use markers to designate specific zones for each team and rotate players in small groups. Referees should monitor congested areas and adjust gameplay accordingly.
Running into another player
— Emphasize the importance of spatial awareness during gameplay. Institute rules to prevent reckless running, particularly in congested areas. Assign referees to intervene when collisions are likely.
Night play with poor lighting
— Use reflective gear or glow-in-the-dark markers for better visibility in low-light conditions. Equip participants with flashlights or headlamps. Clearly mark boundaries and obstacles using light sources. Avoid playing in total darkness without proper lighting.
