No, you don't require a specific uniform or specific colors. Teams will be designated with armbands affixed to both biceps. We want to be an event that promotes airsoft and we recognize that not everybody can afford multiple sets of BDU's in different camo patterns. Therefore we decided not to go with a "Tan vs Green" uniform rule.
Do not show up wearing a furry costume, superhero costume or fantasy cosplay costume.

There will be free onsite camping. There is plenty of room but camping is first come-first serve. Campers can arrive anytime after (to be announced). There will be game staff on site to assist you.

Use the"Registration" tool to sign up for the event. You will receive an email with instructions on how to submit your payment via Electronic Money Transfer (EMT). If, for some reason, you don't have access to online banking and can't send an EMT, contact the event co-ordinator and alternate arrangements can be made.
This is a 16+ event. Players under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver.
Food is not included in the admission price. There will be a food vendor on site, offering Breakfast, Lunch and Supper. Bring some cash.

Usually that is 4 litres minimum.
