This is our massive, 14 page rule document that we needed to get through our campus security and risk management. Get your legal spectacles out folks cause these rules had a lot of hoops to jump through.

They seem pretty sound to me, and they seem not too far from the ruleset that I am playing with next week!

EDIT: There are probably things which you should include in the briefing, but not in the rules just as common sense things, for example, humans rampaging around campus at night time as a hoard of 50-60 people is not a wise idea (never mind that it is impossible to control 60 people all at the same time and probably will result in a non-player or two being slaughtered as 30 people fire in the poor souls direction), and zombies should not octopus tag to save on confusing on the hell out of everyone.

instead of giant chunks of text, you might want to put things into bullet points so that it's easier to read.

also, you have a lot of spelling errors.

Probably not such a big deal seeing as you already have permission to run your game but I think it's always a good idea to avoid words like “gun, kill and shoot” in official documents and encourage players to use less inflammatory words.

Gun = Blaster

Kill = Tag or Stun

Shoot is more difficult but a sentence like “Humans may stun a Zombie for 15 minutes by shooting them” can be changed to “Zombies are stunned for 15 minutes when struck anywhere on their body by a dart or disc launched by a Blaster”
