clumpyedge Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Personally I think that the age should be somewhere between 14-16 SOME kids maturity levels are just not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly4568 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yeah it depends on the person. I think that marshals should ask people under 12 a load of questions before being allowed to play to see if they 1 know the rules and 2 are going to be sensible during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even if they're geardos, as they may be have very different expectations and experiences to what's expected at that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site minimum age is 10 for insurance purposes and the lads father a regular at the site had to sign a waiver before he was allowed to play....... There is a big flaw here, waivers don’t sign any responsibility away If anything happened with a 10+ year old under the sites responsibilities then their public liability insurance would be there, if something happened to the younger kid then they have just lost their insurance cover and taken more responsibility for what goes wrong by allowing a child below their age limit play. They have also documented the matter and unless they have an ‘underage disclaimer’ then their disclaimer ought to have had a declaration that they are 10+ in line with the age policy - if so then they have either documented the policy breach by correcting the age or made them sign a fraudulent waiver claiming to be older Site insurance is provided in line with the policies and risk assessments that the site has in place, player age falls in there along with briefings to players Drop the age (Letting the insurer know) and then insurer may just accept it or up the premium ”for insurance purposes” means it changes the risk to the insurer and would increase premiums or void the insurance to allow it 12/13 is a fair age (my basis being 13 as the target age and 12 for their friends in the same school year who haven’t hit their birthday yet) Going down to 10 maybe. But ideally a kids group going down that far should be playing as a kids group with some parents etc, not kids groups joining into a standard adults game Individuals do vary, but also those you think might be ok could still not have a good time when shot a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sites that allow players who are younger than the age that they've agreed with their insurer are taking a huge gamble. Even if their insurer was obliged to indemnify them (courts like to hit the deepest pocket so that claimants don't lose out), if the site has breached their contract, the insurer may be able to pursue the site or the owner to recover their money. A personal injury case, particularly one that involves long term care, would ruin most sites or individuals. It's easy to laugh off until something goes wrong, then it would get really serious, really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
