June Event, Live - Updated

June Event, Live - Updated

Hold on to your pantaloons, and grab your chausses. It’s boffer time.

After a long year and a half, we are incredibly excited to announce that we will be having a live event June 25th - 27th.

While we all can’t wait to return to field and see each other, we are adhering to the guidelines set both by the State of Michigan, and our Safety Staff. We will have a no tolerance policy for breaking any of the guidelines listed below.

Staff will be using this event to gauge these precautionary measures. Please be understanding that this might not feel like our normal events, and things like encounters might be adapted to fit within the guidelines.

Safety staff has also put together an Amazon Wishlist for items needed for the upcoming event. Purchasing items off the wishlist will award you Safety XP!

This post has been updated to reflect the changes made to allow players who have not yet been vaccinated. Please see “Check In” and “Players who do not provide proof of vaccination”.
