CQB Airsoft Rules
MARSHALS – Our marshals have total impartiality and are there for your own safety, ensuring you get maximum enjoyment out of your day with us. If a marshal makes a call, remember they are looking at the bigger picture; however, if a player believes they have been wrongly penalised, they should raise the point between games with the marshal in question so that the point can be discussed in a rational manner. Pink jackets are for seniors and juniors or assistants are in Yellow.

If someone calls you out for non-hit taking, unless you can clearly see where they are missing, take the hit, walk back, and respawn. If you can clearly see they are missing and their weapon is not performing as they expect, do a large wave across the body indicating they are missing and point to where their shots are hitting.
