It’s that time of the year again when the seniors take on the tradition of senior assassin, a game played by the senior class where they go around in groups of two and shoot their targets with water guns. 

Each week, pairs are given a new target to eliminate, furthering themselves through the competition, hoping to win the money each pair paid to enter the competition. Round one began today and lasts until Saturday at 11:59. To eliminate a person, you must have a clear video proof of the shot.

The only place where a target cannot be shot is at school, sports practices, while playing a game, on the clock at work, at a religious setting, or in someone else’s house without being allowed inside. Other rules can be found on the senior assassin Instagram page, @lhs25senior_assassins, where teams and other updates can be found as well. 

Here are the rules that can be found on the Instagram page:

1. Can eliminate targets between 11:59 PM Sunday to 11:59 PM Saturday with only a water gun
2. If your team only eliminated one target, only the player that made that shot is allowed to move on to the next round.*You can revive your teammate by eliminating your target/s in the next round
3. If you successfully eliminate both targets that team is permanently out. You and your partner will move onto the next round.
4. If you eliminate both targets before 11:59 PM Saturday, you can still be eliminated by the team targeting you.
5. You can NOT shoot your targets: During school, on school property, sports practice, while playing a game, on the clock at work, a religious setting, in someone’s home unless allowed inside.
6. HOWEVER: If they are watching an AWAY game OR their AWAY game has ended, you may eliminate your target.
7. You must have CLEAR picture or video evidence of your elimination or else it won’t count. All evidence must be sent to @Ihs25senior_assassians Instagram. (An unbiased adult will decide on unclear evidence)
8. Targets will be shuffled weekly and the new list will be posted on Sunday night.
9. Immunity days will be put into effect on certain days. If you wish to carry out the immunity challenge as you are shot, the shot will not count as an elimination.
10. All important information including: Target assignments, immunity challenges, and all eliminations will be posted on this instagram. Turn the account notifications on! Have fun!!
