Details
A 'You’re Out' call is the formal declaration that a player has been eliminated. Referees use this call to maintain clarity during fast-paced points, ensuring that eliminated players do not unintentionally continue participating.
Players hearing the call must: - Raise their marker above their head - Prevent firing or communication - Walk directly to the designated elimination area
The call is critical during chaotic engagements such as collapses, bunker trades, and snake battles where it may be unclear whether a hit has broken. In some leagues, referees supplement the call with physical signals such as tapping the player or holding up a hand.
Violating the call or arguing can lead to penalties, making compliance essential for maintaining professionalism and fairness.
