Kansas Weather:
We play rain or shine! If we have to close the park due to extreme weather conditions we will notify our retail stores and group leaders of reservations for the day. We will re-schedule (not refund) your group during normal business hours, at your convenience. Please remember that if it's raining in your neighborhood it may not be raining in ours!
Children under 18:
Players must be at least 10 years of age to participate -no exceptions.
Kids under 18 must have a release waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian. All players under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult, unless they personally drove out to our facility. Players under the age of 16 may not be left at our facility without adult supervision.
Off Field Paintballs:
Our facility is still a B.Y.O.P. facility - but only for players with their own equipment. (You may only use paintballs purchased from our Paintball Park with our rental equipment.) However, we will not be allowing: Monster Ball, Visible Impact, Liberty Paintballs, or Drop Zone Retail Stores’ "cheap paint" at our facility due to staining and/or safety concerns. All other off field paintballs are subject to inspection at the Park and may not be allowed due to staining and/or safety concerns.
Walk On Rental Players (players using our rental equipment without a reservation):
Walk-ons get equipment on a first come first serve basis. You might have to wait a little longer, we might run out of equipment, and private parties will not be available. Groups of 1-4 people can almost always "walk on" during any of our regular hours but we can't guarantee that we'll have the equipment available and ready, we will however try our best!!
Reservations:
If you place your reservation past the deadline (2 weeks in advance of the date you are playing) you may not be able to have a private party or rental equipment may not be available. A group with a reservation can not pay individually at the Park -the balance must be paid in full by 1 person.
Refunds:
We do not refund or give credits for: prepayments, any part of a deposit or deposits on groups of any size, event entries, or private party fees. Please make sure to reserve only for the # of players that you have confirmed with so you do not lose any of your deposit or prepayment.
Rental Equipment Users:
If you are using DZES rental equipment then you are responsible for not losing it. If you lose any of it you or your group leader will be charged accordingly. If you are using our rental equipment, you are not allowed to use paintballs other than the ones you purchase from our Park. Please do not pick paintballs up off of the ground and put them in our paintball markers, your marker will stop working. If you are using our rental equipment, do not disassemble any of it – this includes taking the CO2 tank off. We will be happy to do it for you :-)
Walk-on Rental Players (Rental Players without a reservation) get equipment on a first come first serve basis. You might have to wait a little longer, we might run out of equipment, and private parties will not be available. Groups of 1-4 people can almost always "walk on" during any of our regular hours but we can't guarantee that we'll have the equipment available and ready, we will however try our best!!
Electric hoppers & Gravity Hoppers:
Both are allowed at Drop Zone in '09! We will run 2 different recreation groups this season: 1 group for players with electric hoppers and 1 group for players without, as long as we have enough players in a specific group to allow it. This means 1 group will be "open" players and 1 group will consist of rental players, players with gravity fed hoppers, and pump players! Gravity Hopper Players are always allowed to play with the electric hopper group, if they choose to.
BPS:
For recreation play the ROF (rate of fire) will be capped at 10 bps (balls per second). Please make sure that your boards are adjusted. If you have any technical questions about your gun settings please call the manufacturer or a Drop Zone Retail Store on what you need to do to comply with this rule before heading out to the park. For BPS at tournaments and practices, please check the specific listing for that event on our Calendar of Events web page.
Barrel Sleeves vs. Barrel Plugs:
We are a barrel sleeve only facility. We do not allow barrel "plugs". You can purchase sleeves at the Paintball Park or any of our Retail Stores.
