Question 11

What time do i get there/what happens if i am running late

Answer

We have two sessions, depending on the session is when you get there, we recommend to be there 15 minutes prior to be signed in and ready to go, training starts at 6:50 for a game start time of 7 oclock for the first session, and training is at 7:50 for the second session for an 8 oclock start! If you are running late and miss the sign in in time for the training session, once the staff have run through the training session they will sign you in and run you through the training and you will enter into the game in progress, unfortunetely you will be forfitting the time you where late for!
