Full Face And Eye Protection
When entering any game zone, every player must wear full face and eye protection. Face and eye protection must stay on at all times inside the game areas. This is the most important safety rule on site.
The safe zone is the only area where eye protection is not required. Any player who removes their mask or eye protection inside a game zone may be removed from play immediately by a referee.
SAFETY COMES FIRST
LISTEN TO THE BRIEFING AND FOLLOW THE RULES
Outpost is built around safe, fair and enjoyable games. Every player must listen carefully to the safety briefing, follow referee instructions and respect the rules of each game zone.
No climbing, jumping over barricades or climbing on structures is allowed. Players must stay within the marked game areas and follow the instructions given by referees and marshals at all times.
Waiver Forms And Safe Zone Rules
Every player must complete a waiver form before booking in and playing. This helps make sure all players understand the activity, safety rules and expectations before entering the game zones.
For younger players, a parent or guardian may need to complete the relevant form. Please check the booking information before arrival so your group is ready to play.
The safe zone is where players return between games. No shooting or dry firing is allowed in the safe zone. Paintball players must not bring rental markers into the safety area, and airsoft players must remove magazines and clear any remaining BBs before entering.
Safety catches and barrel sleeves must be used when games are not in progress, or when players have been eliminated from the game.
