Below is a list of which primary games will be held on which days. Any gaps will be filled in with field games organized by the Grand Marshal.

Friday Night:
- Checkpoint Entourage (Beginning 8pm)
Entourage is a classic VIP Escort game. There will be two teams. The Entourage and the Horde. The Entourage will be comprised of 1 VIP and their bodyguard. Their objective is to make it through, depending on player count, 2 to 3 checkpoints WITHOUT their VIP dying.
The Horde's objective is to kill the VIP before they reach the last Checkpoint. The Horde team will also be scaled to have more players than the Entourage team.

Lives:
The Entourage players have one life each. If a bodyguard dies, they can only respawn if the VIP makes it to the next Checkpoint. Respawn is instant within the marked Checkpoint zone.
The Horde players have infinite lives and instant respawn on a single point designated by the presiding marshals.

Special rules:
Checkpoints are considered safe zones for the Entourage. Horde players cannot enter Checkpoint Zones, block/obstruct entry points, or spawn-camp within 15 feet of entry points.
Checkpoints must also be held for a verbal count of 10 seconds before the Entourage can begin moving to the next Checkpoint.

Saturday:
- Single Light Weapon Tournament (Beginning 9 am)
- Several variants of Capture the Flag:
- Single Flag CTF
A straight forward classic. Rules and Lives will be clarified by presiding marshals.
- Multi-flag CTF
Rules and Lives will be clarified by presiding marshals.

- Dominion
Dominion is a command post style capture game, command posts being represented by Japanese style flags. There will be 2 teams and 5 command posts. Each team will start with 1 command post under their control. Victory is achieved when one team controls all command posts, or if one team controls more command posts than the enemy team when the game's timer runs out.

Lives:
Command posts act as respawn points.
Players have infinite lives so long as their team controls at least 1 command post. There will be a respawn count of 10 seconds.

If a player is respawning at a friendly controlled command post that is captured by the enemy team before they finish their respawn count, they must move to the next closest friendly controlled command post and restart their respawn count.

Special rules:
Command Posts can only be captured with a verbal count of 5 seconds and must be vocalized as: "Capturing One! Capturing Two! Capturing Three! Capturing Four! Capturing Five!"

Once a Command Post is captured, the capturing team must swap the current flag for theirs to represent the change of control.

- Single Heavy Weapon Tournament (Beginning 4 pm)

Saturday Night:
- Head Hunting (Beginning 7 pm)
Head Hunting is the primary night game of Battlegrounds. For rules, please see the document on Combat Historia's Facebook Page. Rules WILL NOT be reviewed before the game commences, so please ensure you are familiar with them well before hand.
