TRIOPS® MILSIM INTRODUCTION
The TriOps® Milsim tournament aims to simulate, in a playful and strategic way, the logistical processes of planning and executing military missions.
The purpose of this tournament is to create an environment of challenge and overcoming, where participants must work as a team to achieve objectives, respecting resource and ammunition limitations, as well as impact and elimination rules based on the player's honor and integrity with head referee oversight.
Integrity and mutual trust between players and teams are fundamental to ensuring the smooth running of the tournament.
