FAQ's

What is it?
It’s a BIG paintball game with a REAL military flavor!!! Up to 300+ paintballers letting rip!
Armoured vehicles, a TANK, large pyro FX, call in an air strike and take out huge chunks of the enemy forces in one hit.

When is it?

Sunday 4th October 2009  (04.10.09)

How much are the tickets?
Ticket price is £40 per player if you book in advance. The Turn Up & Play price increases to £50.
So book early for your £10 discount.

Can I just turn up without booking a place?
You can but it is much better for everyone if you can pre purchase a ticket.

Players that don't book in advance will pay an extra £10 on the ticket price and will be allocated a team so that we can balance the teams.

If you can't pay in advance (before Saturday 3rd Oct)  you will still be able to pay on the day but the price will be £50  (CASH)

If you plan to pay on the day still give me a call to let me know you plan to come and

you must be booked in by 8:30 am.

Last years game was delayed because of the number of players that did not pre book and arrived on-site late.

This years game will start on time regardless!
This game has limited places so book early to avoid disappointment.

Can I hire kit?
Yes, you can hire all the kit you need for just £5.00.

What do I do when I arrive?
The first thing you need to do is register. Every player needs to register before they can play. When you register you will be given a players pass that will need to be attached to your mask.
If you are not registered before 9:00 am on game day you will miss the game briefing and the start of the game.

Can I bring my own paintballs?
Yes you can but BYO paint will be tested by the site management, if found to be too hard (fails the drop test) or has a formula that stains you will not be permitted to use it.
We will have quality paint for sale at really good prices or book your paint in advance for only £25 a box.

Will there be any trade stands?

Sorry not this year. London Paintball Supplies ( LIPS ) were booked  but at the last minute had to pullout because of other commitments.

Yes there will be HP air up to 4500psi. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BOTTLE’S DATE only bottles in date will be filled. From July 2003, the European standard EN 12245 became the only acceptable specification for new cylinders.

All cylinders manufactured and certified to the HSE-AL-FW2 specification prior to July 2003 and retested after July 2003 have their retest period extended from 3 to 5 years at their next retest.

If you have a cylinder manufactured before July 2003 then you need to have it tested 3 years from the original manufactured date. The re certified cylinder will then need retesting after a further five year period.

All cylinders manufactured to EN 12245 and Pi certified to comply with the TPED start with a retest period of 5 years from date of manufacture.

There will not be any Co2 at the BotB game but you can hire an air bottle or buy a new one from the trade stands.
