Registration number
In the invitation e-mail you have received a registration number assigned to your unit including the data provided by you in your registration. Every unit member should know this registration number in order to be recognized by the production team, security service, quartermasters etc. For the purpose of identification every single participant will receive an ID mark – a dark plastic wristband (decent one, easy to be hidden under the sleeve) – in order to be eligible to enter the reserved premises (especially the ‘battlefield’). In case of loss of the wristband a unit member will not be allowed to enter the event premises.
Accommodation
The organizers offer the accommodation in school buildings, gyms and sports halls (own sleeping bags, pads, blankets etc. required) to all participants who would be interested. The accommodation will be provided from 5 PM on Friday December 2nd until 3PM on Sunday December 4th. All the accommodation facilities are equipped (directly or in a close distance) with sanitary facilities and parking place. In all the premises the change and entering in clean footwear will be strictly demanded as well as the prohibition of smoking. During the stay in an accommodation facility it is absolutely necessary to follow instructions of present members of the organizational team. You will receive the information about your exact place of accommodation (town/community, building etc.) couple weeks before the event.
For hardcore fans of authenticity there will be the place for the camp designed on the ‘battlefield’ (sleeping in own tents only). The camp will be supplied in a standard way, i.e. with sufficient amount of straw, wood and water with the access to sanitary facilities. If you would be interested to stay in the camp, please report us your request in the short questionaire below.
In case of need to accommodate your coach driver/drivers we ask you to report us this request at latest until Sunday October 16th 2005. For your driver/drivers we are able to book a double room at approximately CZK 1000,- (€ 33,-) / night. The hotel for drivers is located in Brno and there is a suitable parking place for coaches in its close vicinity.
Transportation
The organizers will provide the bus transportation of participants between the accommodation facilities (provided by organizers) and event localities. This transportation will not be provided as shuttle and hence we ask everyone to follow the instructions regarding the scheduled departures of buses.
Safety rules
During the entire official program of the event and mainly during the manipulation with arms replicas the strict ban on alcohol consumption as well as narcotic and psychotropic agents will be effective. The arms replicas of participants must be provided with a mark of technical capability by a respective national certification institute and in a proper technical condition. On the organizer’s call an event participant must allow the check of the technical condition of his/her arm replica at any time.
