Welcome to Alpha 5-5
We are here to have fun, however your safety and the safety of the people around you is paramount. With the use of a few rules and a common sense approach we can keep the site safe for everyone.
First Aid
There are first aid personnel on site at all times, who will be pointed out to you during the brief. If you need the attention of a first aider then make the staff aware.
In the safe-zone:
Keep your equipment as tidy as possible to prevent trips and damage to players and equipment.
The security of your equipment and personal belongings remains your responsibility. . (However the Safe Zone will be staffed at all times)
Alpha 5-5 accepts no responsibility for loss or damage of any kind to Personal property (including vehicles).
Do not put the magazine into any gun inside the safe-zone.
Do not test fire guns inside the safe-zone or car park even if you are sure it is clear of BBs. (Use designated area only)
Entering the play area from the safe-zone:
Site approved eye protection must be in place before leaving the safe zone.
Full face protection is available on request and is compulsary for under 16's unless with parental concent.
Alpha 5-5 reserves the right to prohibit the use of any form of eye protection the site management feel does not give sufficient protection.
Magazines may only be put into guns once the play area has been entered.
In the Play area:
Eye protection must be worn at all times as described above.
In the event that you lose your eye protection you must call this to a marshal's attention straight away.
The martial will stop the game (by giving three loud blasts on a whistle or calling "cease fire") if necessary whilst you replace your eye protection.
A "cease fire" can be called by anyone if civilians wander onto the site however the game can only be restarted by a marshal. In the event of this place your weapon on the ground so as not to pose a threat to the civilians.
If a marshal calls "cease fire" or a three whistle blast is sounded all players must cease fire immediately regardless of you position/situation, do not move until the game is restarted.
One whistle blast or "Game on" will restart the game as soon as it is safe to do so, which is only to be done by a marshal.
Marshal's directions must be followed at all times, straight away, and with out argument. Marshals are there to ensure player safety and honest game-play. Any player arguing with a Marshal over any issue in the play area will be ejected from the game and further action may be taken.
The climbing of trees or on top of buildings is strictly prohibited, Any player seen doing this will again be ejected from the game and further action may be taken.
For the safety of others on site head shots are not acceptable although from time to time accidental hits to the head may occur any one deemed deliberately aiming to the head will be ejected from the game.

Only approved Pyrotechnics which have been pre-agreed with the head marshal.
If you notice any potential hazard in the game area (e.g. Wood with nails sticking out) please notify a member of staff.
Returning to the safe-zone:
Remove the magazine from your gun, fire a few shots off to clear the chamber and put the safety on before leaving the play area.
