Player Conduct:
Airsoft is a sport of honor. Good sportsman like conduct is expected from all players. All players have the right to have a good time at the field and it is the duty of every player to respect each other’s rights to do so. Players are expected to call their hits and treat each other courteously. This includes but is not limited to flagrant swearing and verbal assault, unwanted and aggressive physical contact etc.
Not following the rules or exhibiting any unsafe behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct will result in a warning, further noncompliance will result in ejection from the field for the day without a refund.
Players should not engage in deceptive practices to gain a field advantage. Listening in on other player’s radio channels, intentionally covering or obscuring team identification, leaving the game and field boundaries, giving the impression that one is not actively involved in game play and other such activities will not be tolerated. Doing any actions to remove the immersion of the game will not be tolerated.
Many of our games make use of spawn points; this is simply a technical detail that keeps the games moving along and simulates the moving and replacement of wounded personnel in battle. After player calls hit, they should return to their team’s designated spawn point and then rejoin the game. The spawn point should be respected by all players, on both teams, by not shooting into or out of it by a radius of 60 feet. Players should also focus on playing the objective of the game and not engage in spawn trapping, camping the spawn point or other such tactics.
Real steel firearms & knives (not including plastic / replica or training weapons) are not allowed on the field or parking lot.
Alcohol is not allowed on the field or parking lot.
