Price:
Price will fall under the following timeline brackets. Unfortunately, the airsofter community is less than perfect when it comes to prepaying until the very last minute, as such the following price brackets will be in effect for this event. The goal here is to get payments as soon as possible, so we're able to buy the props and equipment for this event to be a success.
Price brackets:
BASTARD 24 HOUR EVENT VETERAN PRICE: $30 REGARDLESS OF TIMELINE
3/4/2017 - 4/8/2017 - $30 (Early bird rate)

Ticket admission will include entry for the 24 hour event. Food is something you'll need to figure out on your own, or as a team, however water will be provided. Enola Gaye Cold Burning Smoke EG-18 and WP-40s are available for purchase as well at the gate, please PM us on our Facebook page. Also please inquire if you do not have an MSW tourniquet, as these will be mandatory per each player to have.
Prepayment PayPal account is BastardsMilsim@Gmail.com -- Please ensure this is in "Gift" format. If for any reason the event is cancelled all players will be refunded within a timely manner.
When sending payment, include your REAL name and team you'll be fighting for. If you want to stay with your friends, please make sure you all put the same Squad. People who show up at the door are subject to go wherever suits the team best.
REFUNDS: Since we are a local community host, we'll do our best to work with you on refunds. Once we get less than 30 days out from the event, we start making our Amazon orders and local surplus store runs to purchase props and equipment. Because of this, 5/10/2017 will be the FINAL DAY that we can support refunds. Please understand that we have overheads to cover as well, and just because you can no longer make it does not mean we can take back props that we've manipulated for the event.
Registration will only take effect once you've prepaid.
Weapons: All weapon platforms will be allowed, all weapons are confined to semi automatic only with exception of designated belt fed weapons. For the sake of the spirit of the game, please do your best to use Russian style weapon systems if you are going Russian, or M4 style weapon systems if you're going 1st Marine Division.
For clarification, a belt fed weapon platform is any weapon platform that would be comparable to its real steel counterpart in that it would require linked ammunition to fire, exception is given for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) and similar weapons that can be fired with standard magazines. Some examples of allowed weapon platforms are:
- M249 SAW
- M240 (Golf or Bravo)
- .50 Cal Machine guns
- RPK's
- RPD's
- DsHk's
*If you do not see an automatic weapon type that you intend on bringing, and want clarification, please PM myself with the specific name of the weapon system, and I will pass the ruling within a timely manner. PM's wasting my time about an M4 with a box mag will be ignored.
OUTDOOR/OPEN FIELD ENGAGEMENT LIMITS AS PER MIA RULE
• 1.0 - 350.0 fps (0.01j - 1.07j) - Arms length engagement limit
• 350.1 - 410.0 fps (1.08 - 1.49j) - 20 foot engagement limit
• 410.1 - 500.0 fps (1.50j - 2.32j) – 50 foot engagement limit, bolt action or permanent* semi-auto replicas only
• 500.1 - 549.9 fps (2.33j - 2.69j) - Bolt action only
• 550.0+ fps (2.7j+) - Prohibited.
FPS is accounted for zero leeway in either direction. If even one shot goes over the top end, you're put in the next bracket. BANG KILLS DO NOT EXIST AT BASTARD EVENTS. If you're shooting higher than arms length you need a pistol to engage targets closer than your MED.
Polarstars can only chrono up to 1.55 joules with whatever weight BB they intend to use for the day, which will be marked on their chrono tag. All shooters are subject to random on field chronograph to prevent on field tampering. Any Polarstar shooter found shooting significantly hotter than 1.55 joules will be ejected from the field as a safety violator, no questions.
Permanent semi-auto means that only 1 BB is shot per trigger pull. Players spamming semi auto as if they're playing a paintball game will be asked to slow down their rate of fire, or use a different replica.
We will spot check player's weapons on the field. Those that have altered their weapons after chrono will be ejected immediately without refund.
