Do I need to fill out a registration form?
All players are required to complete a registration form before they begin play. Players under 16 years must have their form signed by an adult; we suggest you send these out with your invitations. The other parents should return their completed registration forms for you to bring with you to the paintball centre on the day of your event.
Adult players can complete registration forms on arrival at the paintball centre, but we suggest you can complete them in advance to speed up your check in time.
You can download both adult and children’s registration forms from our paintball page (Disclaimer Form)

You would need to have enough players to fill your own game zone, normally about 20 or more.
