Field Rules

During non-tournament play we are currently running an open field , which means if your playing on the field (not during a reserved event) and other people come to play, you must include these people if possible after your round is complete, our field is designed for continuous play. The benefit of such, if a single person wants to play more than likely there will be people playing. Paintball is a multi-person sport , the more people playing the more fun you will have !

With the above said please note, all paying members will have precedence over walk ins.
