C:\rules\01-the-basics

These are the house rules for NOPING. Booking a station or walking through the door means you are happy to play by them. They exist to keep the room fast, fair and pleasant for everyone in it — nothing here is a trap, and staff will happily explain any line if you ask.

C:\rules\02-hours

Hours

We open at noon every day. On weeknights we run until 02:00, on Friday and Saturday until 06:00, and on Sunday until midnight. Last log-in is thirty minutes before close so the room can wind down calmly. The night rate covers you from close-of-day until the doors open again.

C:\rules\03-booking

Booking

Reserve a seat through the form on the home page: name, email, date, row and hours. We hold the seat around your slot and give it a short grace period; arrive too late without a word and the seat may go to a walk-in. The Tourney row can be booked as a full eight-seat block or a five-seat team block for a score night — tell us which and we cable it up in advance. Cancel with a message and we will free the seat for someone else, no drama.

C:\rules\04-wired-only

Wired only, gear stays put

The play floor is wired on purpose, and it stays that way — no personal routers, hubs or access points on the club network. Bring your own mouse, keyboard or headset if you like; leave the cabling and the club machines to us. Treat the stations gently, keep food and drink to the marked spots, and flag any fault to staff instead of fixing it yourself. Anything you install for a session is wiped when you log out.

C:\rules\05-behaviour

Behaviour

Keep it civil. Score nights are competitive but friendly — we rank by points and time, nothing else, and nobody is here to pressure you into anything. Harassment, shouting matches or messing with someone else's session ends a visit early. Staff have the final word on the floor, and they use it sparingly and fairly.

C:\rules\06-liability

Your things

Look after your own belongings; the club is not responsible for items left at a station or lost on site. Play at your own reasonable risk and follow staff guidance. We may update these rules to keep the room running well — the current version always lives here.
