The Nationals

NAE.
The Airsoft Nationals.
National Airsoft Event.
TDM are planning to hire a van to take up all of our gear, car share if you can. Bring your own tents, we will have a gazebo. Food, you can bring money to buy your own from the vendors, or the Astecs say they will have some cooks. Some people will be attending but not playing, they will happily watch your stuff.
Below are the rules as stated on the NAE website. http://www.groundzeroairsoft.com/nae/NAE2016/Main.html


 
FPS LIMITS
Full Auto (AEG/Gas, Pistol & Rifle) 350fps
Semi Mode Only (AEG/Gas, Pistol & Rifle) 425fps
Bolt Action Sniper Rifle (Spring Rifle Only) 500fps
Anything obscure will fall under the Full Auto category above with a maximum limit of 350fps.

Propellant & Unapproved Devices
The use of propellants other than approved airsoft gas such as propane in gas guns is strictly prohibited. Despite claims it is the same as Green Gas, it isn’t and poses a threat to the users and the people around them. If you are caught using hazardous propellants, you will be asked to leave the site.

Pyrotechnics
The use of pyrotechnics by players is strictly forbidden with the exceptions detailed below. This includes gas and CO2 devices not specifically specified below.
-Blank Firing Pistols / Rifles
-Dynatec Blank Firing Hand Grenade (9mm Only)
-Mad Bull & Ultraforce Landmines
-40mm Gas Grenades, Spring & Gas Claymores

Camp Fires & BBQ
BBQ’s must be mounted off the ground on their stands, not directly on the grass. Any fire within your BBQ that isn’t for cooking purposes comes under the category of open camp fires. Camp fires will be permitted with the following conditions: Any fire must be above ground level, in a metal container. There will be a designated “fire” camping zone that is out in the open, away from any trees and dry wood. If you want a fire, you must pitch your camp in this area – any fire outside of this zone will be extinguished.

Littering
Bins are provided in all dead zones across the gaming area and in various locations in the safe area. Littering is not tolerated and if seen deliberately flouting this simple instruction, you may be asked to leave.
Whilst we have staff working in the safe area where a certain amount of “blow away litter” is expected, it is impossible to keep 150 acres of forest clean. All we ask is that you pocket it until you get shot. A clean forest makes for a more realistic gaming environment.

Player Abuse
Verbal (& physical) abuse is not tolerated at all. We have a 0% tolerance with this type of behaviour. If you loose it, you’re off the site. It’s that simple. GZ is a friendly place and we attract friendly players – we want to keep it that way.

Player Tag Numbers
Each team is given a colour (say Orange, White & Blue). This enables you to identify your enemy.
Each players tags are then numbered with their booking reference. This enables anyone to identify the specific person.
If you want to report a player for cheating, a hot gun, abuse etc. just tell a marshal the players tag number and we’ll pull him back to the safe area for a chat.

Bang Kills & CQB Areas
Extreme close-up areas such as inside our village huts, the bunker complex, and in the tunnels are restricted to single shots only. 350fps maximum in these zones – no exceptions.
“Bang” kills are permitted if you get too close to take a gentlemanly shot (point your gun at the person and say “bang” – you must be unarguably able to shoot them and hit when declaring them dead).

Radios
Team comma use channels 1-6, channel 7 is reserved for Marshall use.
Deliberate disruption or jamming of this channel will lead to you being told to leave for safety reasons.

FAQ
Q: What is the minimum age for the weekender?
A: The minimum age to play is 14. Children and family members are welcome to join you camping whatever the age.

Q: Can I come on my own or do I have to be part of a team?
A: You can do either, as you choose. Being part of a team is not a requirement – go freelance or join up with others.

Q: Can I bring a caravan?
A: Yes, but you must use that as your living, sleeping and socialising area. You will not be permitted to pitch a tent or a marquee in addition to your caravan (excluding awning) as it will occupy too much space forcing others to camp further away than necessary.

Q: Can I bring a dog?
A: They are discouraged for several reasons – not least of which being that we can not supervise them whilst you are in the game zone and can’t have a whole pack of dogs roaming peoples camping areas!

Q: I’m coming from far away, I can only get flights/ferry that arrive the day before.
A: No arrivals, for whatever reason, are allowed before Friday morning. If you need to arrive in Ringwood before the event is due to start we recommend the following close-by hotels for the night: Travelodge, Premier Inn, The Village, & St Leonards Hotel.

Q: Can I arrange my own portable toilet?
A: No. For everyone’s safety on site and so as not to cause excess traffic in the camping arena – particularly large lorries – no outside arrangements can be made.

Q: Are there any showers?
A: I’m afraid there aren’t any showers, but feel free to bring your own camping one so long as it doesn’t need to be plumbed in.

Q: Are there battery & phone charging facilities?
A: We do offer NiMH & NiCd gun battery charging facilities in the main field however there is always a long queue. If possible please make sure you have enough batteries/charge in them to last you.
We do not offer sockets for phone charging.

Q: What is the deposit price?
A: The deposit price for players is £30. The remainder can then be paid at the event (cash only) or before hand in £5 increments from your booking page.

Q: Are HPA guns allowed at the NAE?
A: Although there will be no gas charging facilities at the NAE for HPA guns, they are permitted, as long as they conform to our normal FPS limits and have the ability to be tournament locked. This applies to ALL HPA guns regardless of make or model and there will be no exclusions. If you do not have the ability to tournament lock the gun, then you will not be able to use it.
