    • It is strongly recommended to bring your own safety goggles for such competitions.
    • Active participants must always point above equipment in safe direction appointed by the staff when equipment is in use. Usually, it’s the direction where targets are located.
    • Nobody is permitted to shoot targets at any time unless supervised by the staff.
    • Participants must never aim at other people, animals, or shoot in the direction where they cannot see projectile landing safely.

Even though we try to make sports as safe as possible, there is still room for falls, scratches, and bruises. Staff will have first aid kits to treat such injuries; however, parents are strongly advised to bring their own first aid kits and have them handy.

As we strive to make the event better, rules may be adjusted based on participant feedback or requirements of the event. Make sure to check this page prior to the event for any updates.
