Caid & Estrella - Estrella War 26

It is always Caid's desire to accept and enjoy the hospitality of our neighbors to the east, the Kingdom of Atenveldt, and not become the proverbial three day-old fish while visiting Estrella War.

To that end, it is asked that all Caidans attending become familiar with the below regulations, and that you remember that the Estrella War is held on privately owned land, rented for the enjoyment of this event.

1. Attendees must abide by all modern laws, the "Governing Documents of the SCA, Inc" and "SCA Society Officer Policies", Atenveldt Kingdom Law, these Estrella War Site & Safety Regulations, and guidelines explained in this years Estrella War Gate Book.

2. Attendees must follow instructions given by authorized members of the war staff, SCA officers, and onsite Emergency Medical Service and Law Enforcement personnel. Individuals who do not comply with these guidelines face immediate expulsion from the site without refund, and possible involvement of local law enforcement.

Alcohol, Drugs and Firearms

The drinking age in Arizona is twenty-one, and carrying, storing or using unlawful substances is a criminal offense. Serving or providing alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 is a criminal offense. Modern law enforcement agencies will be notified for all cases of underage drinking and unlawful drug use. Criminal acts warranting the notification of modern law enforcement agencies are just cause for expulsion from the site without refund of site fees. Anyone temporarily removed from site for alcohol-related activities may be expelled from the remainder of the event without refund of site fees.
Firearms are prohibited. Carrying concealed weapons (even with a concealed carry weapons permit), or possessing a loaded weapon (even in your vehicle), is prohibited. No brandishing of firearms is allowed. Exceptions for period firearms display may be granted by the Main Event Coordinators.

Site Tokens/Car Tags

Every person attending Estrella War is issued a Site Token (or Youth Token) at the front gate, and given a Car Tag for their vehicle and trailer.

Your Site Token is your receipt for entrance to the site. You may be asked by the war staff to show your Site Token and modern ID at any time, so please keep both with you. If you do not have a Site Token with you, you may be escorted to the gate to pay the entrance fee, or removed from site. Children under 12 must wear their Youth Token at all times.
Your Car Tag must be displayed clearly on your vehicle dashboard and on all trailers at all times. Vehicles and trailers found onsite without a Car Tag will be towed immediately at the owner's expense.
Attendees re-entering the site must show both their Site Token and Car Tag, so please be sure you take both with you if you leave. If you return to site without a Site Token and/or Car Tag, you must pay to re-enter the event without refund. No vehicles will be allowed to re-enter without a Car Tag.

Driving/Parking

Please review the site map when you arrive to be sure you understand the site road layout, and where to park while you unload and after you unload your things. A strict 60 min load/unload time limit will be enforced. Unattended vehicles and trailers found illegally parked will be towed immediately at the owner's expense. (Unless it is raining or just rained) Unload your vehicle; take it to the parking lot, then set up your camp.

The speed limit on all roads inside the site is 15 MPH! Attendees who ignore the speed limit may be removed from the site.
Car Tags must be visible on your vehicle dashboard and on all trailers at all times.
Fire lanes and main roads must be kept clear at all times. ALL vehicles must be parked in a designated parking space and not along roadways.
Vehicles may not be parked on any of the main roads, main field areas, in designated "no parking" areas, or on the roads along the campsites.

Rules for Your Camp

Where to Camp: Camping is allowed in designated camping areas shown on the Site Map. If you are seeking a place to camp, ask for help from a member of the war staff at the front gate or one of the Land Coordinator(s) for a Principal Kingdom. Camping is not allowed on the Target Archery Field, or off the main property/site. The surrounding properties are private land, and law enforcement agencies will be notified if you setup an encampment there.
Grey Water: No dumping of any grey water or other debris into the canals or within any camping area. Grey Water tanks will be located at all privy stations.
Fire Extinguishers: The Fire-Marshall requires that your camp have a 2 lb- ABC rated (or greater) fire extinguisher outside each tent in an easy to reach spot. We also encourage having one located by each kitchen area and fire pit.
Litter & Campfire Ashes: Dumpsters and ash can receptacles are provided throughout the site. Please ensure that trash is placed in dumpsters (not in ash cans), and that ashes are cold to the touch when discarded! At the end of the event, you are responsible for leaving your camp area free of litter and for hauling away large items like rugs and any type of furniture. This is critical if you wish the SCA to have future Estrella Wars!
Digging & Trenching: No trenching around encampments or tents. No digging of "in ground fire pits."
Torches/Lanterns/Fire Arts: No open-flames are allowed, and "fire arts" performances are prohibited. All torches and lanterns must have a grill or mesh flue or be enclosed in some manner to reduce the chances of sparks and embers.
Camp Fires : Fires in camps must be attended and "off-the-ground" a minimum of one foot (with all embers contained) to ensure they are safe and of reasonable size. Fire pits must have a total fuel area of 3 feet or less in diameter, and 2 feet or less in height (Pinal County Clean Air Regulation). Bonfires are not permitted. Large unattended campfires may be cause for expulsion from the event without refund. Please keep flammable liquids (including all alcohol) away from fires and other open flames. Ash cans are provided at privy stations (ashes must be cold to the touch to be placed in an ash can). Receptacles for ashes are clearly labeled. Please be sure they are only used for disposal of ashes!
Tent Heaters: We cannot over-emphasize the lethal dangers of asphyxiation and carbon monoxide poisoning! Please use common sense when running propane heaters, ESPECIALLY in unventilated enclosures (tents). We recommend extinguishing heaters and lanterns BEFORE bedding down. Watch over your friends and your camp-mates. Invest in a battery operated Carbon Monoxide Detector for your tent.

Camp curfews for minors: Minors 12 and under must be in their own camp or escorted by an adult from 10 PM to 5 AM, and minors 13 to 17 years old must be in their own camp or escorted by an adult from 11 PM to 5 AM.
A 2:00 AM noise reduction curfew will be enforced. Camps must limit loud drumming, chanting, singing, yelling, horns, etc. after that hour. This does not mean that all festivities have to stop completely at 2:00 AM, but it means activities and public behavior must be reduced so they are not disruptive for attendees in adjoining camps.

Land Clean Up

All land is to be left in the same condition or better than you received it.
All personal items and trash must be completely removed from your camping area and a final inspection by your groups' camp-master and designated land agent shall be done. Items of special interest are tent stakes, firewood and cigarette butts.

Everyone under 12 must wear their Youth Token at all times.
If your child is lost, contact a war staff member for assistance.

Radios

The war staff knows FRS radios are popular for families and groups who wish to keep in touch during the event, but it is important to know which channels are reserved for use by the war staff and emergency personnel working to run the event.

Please be sure you and your children keep the staff-reserved radio frequencies clear, and that you limit your conversations on the family channels to the information you most need (so others can share the channel as well). Attendees who ignore war staff requests to clear a radio channel may be removed from the site without refund.

You and your family can use Channels 13, 14 or 15.

You can request services (be sure and give your name and location) on these channels:

Channel 2 Marshalls
Channel 3 Special Needs and Volunteer
