SITE RULES

Our insurance stipulates that we are NOT allowed to let anyone under the influence of illegal drugs or alchohol to play for reasons of safety, the decision regarding this is up to our staff on the day and is final. In general it is not advised to turn up half cut after a heavy night out.

You must tell us of any medical conditions you have prior to arrival so that our First Aider can be notified.

The minimum age limit to play is 12 years, To use and purchase grenades you have to be 18+.

We operate a Pre Booking system to speed up the registrations on the morning of game days, pre booking via the website will save you money. Walk ons' can just turn up and pay on the day BY CARD ONLY but the cost of that is £32 per person as there is a processing fee for this.

NO Air Guns & Air Rifles are allowed a real Firearm and you will not be allowed to bring it onto site.

NO real weapons of any kind are allowed under any circumstances (Soft Rubber Knives capable of bending 180 degrees may be used).

Rules regarding hit taking
Airsoft is a game of honesty. A hit is a BB landing on any part of your body and or gun. Before we can take any action we need to witness it for ourselves, we cannot just go on the hearsay of players that another player isn't taking hits, however if we get multiple complaints about a particular individual marshalls will first "spot" the suspected offender and may hit test them if there is doubt. Our marshals carry binoculars, if players are seen cheating they will be shown out of the game and banned from the site instantly.
So lets make things simple "If in doubt shout hit out".

Rules regarding Violent Actions and Bullying
Major offences such as bullying of other players, assault either verbal or physical to other players or our staff or the maltreatment of our hire kit will result in you being instantly thrown off the site and if neccessary a report of any incident being made to the Police.

Rules regarding Minors Under 18's
