Due to the fact that we are an Association, and striving to accomplish goals, the organization of the CAA itself has internal governing rules in the form of a charter, which dictates the day to day operations of the organization, rules for CAA games, and the construction of the membership process.

When we say rules, we mean the CAA Charter, which can be downloaded here in pdf form it it's most current version:http://www.chicagoairsoftassociation.com/papers/CAAv3.10.19.11.pdf

If you cannot find it anywhere in the charter, then you can send an email to ChiTownAirsoft@gmail.com and someone from our staff will attempt to answer any questions that you might have.  

Please read through our membership section though, or FAQ's as these questions may be readily answered for you already.
