For those who have their own equipment, chronographing your gun is one of the most important things to do before you step on a playing field. It is your responsibility as a player to make sure you are shooting at or below the required fps (295 at Twisted) throughout the day. For those who use CO2, chronoing once in the morning is not sufficient due to the properties of CO2. A CO2 tank chills upon filling. Once the gas begins to warm up, your gun will begin shooting at a higher fps. Therefore, if you are chronoing with a newly filled tank, you should chrono less than the maximum fps (280 would be the best) to allow for the spike.
Unfortunately, some players have been neglecting this very important task. Therefore, we have made changes to our policy regarding this matter. Effective immediately, you must chrono your gun in the presence of a Twisted ref before being allowed to step on any field of play. Once the ref confirms that you are shooting less than 295 fps, you will be issued a band that will need to be attached to the feedneck of your gun. Feedneck bands will be checked as you enter a field. If you don't have one, you not be allowed to play and will be sent back to the chrono booth.
In order to make sure players continue to chrono throughout the day, the refs will pull three players before each and every game for a random check on the field. If you are found to be shooting over the limit, you will receive 2 marks on your band. This has doubled from our previous mark system due to the numerous problems we have had lately. (Remember - if you receive 4 marks on your band we will not allow you to play the rest of the day. No refunds will be issued.)
We want you to have a great day at Twisted. But we also want to make sure that everyone plays safely and responsibly!
