Code of Conduct
1. RESPECT
AirSoft teams considers respect key in having fun and enjoyable game days for all involved.
Operators will be expected to treat ALL other players/teams with the same respect
that we give to members of our own team. No matter the circumstances, situation,
or individual involved.
2. INTEGRITY
Airsoft can never be a fully competitive sport. The fact that you can’t physically tell if
you hit your opponent in most cases makes the previous statement true.
Competition can be achieved with Airsoft, but only if all people involved have a
similar level of integrity when it comes to the game rules. If we are to achieve
victory, we will do it with training, tactics, and teamwork; not by cheating. So in
order to win with teamwork or tactics it is vital that all operators play with honesty.
If you are shot, no matter how light it might feel you MUST call it. If you see another
operator take a hit that he might not have felt, it is your duty to let him know.
3. SAFETY
Operators who attend our events will be expected to make safety a top priority. This
includes personal safety, and the safety of all other participants. We are all
responsible for each other during our Airsoft events. Operators will be required to
observe their surroundings to be fully aware of any immediate dangers at all times.
Operators will be expected to NEVER compromise their own personal safety in order
to accomplish any game-related task or objective. Water is also required to be on all
operators during Airsoft games.
Any infringement to the AirSoft Code of Conduct can be grounds for
immediate dismissal from the team or event.
