OFFICIAL STAMENT
OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE INCIDENT ON JULY 5, 2026
Following the incident that occurred at Stonefall CQB on Sunday, July 5, 2026, we have reached an initial decision regarding the matter.
After conducting a thorough and impartial investigation, all Stonefall CQB [administration] interviewed both parties involved and carefully reviewed all available information and [surrounding the incident]. Based on our findings, we have decided to impose a six (6) month soft ban on the player who owned and used a gel blaster with an FPS ranging between 450–490, which resulted in an injury to one of our regular players.
While the injury was not severe, it exceeded what is considered normal and acceptable within the gelsoft [CQB] community. The player involved became unresponsive throughout the investigation. As a result, the six-month soft ban will remain in effect while we continue to gather additional information and complete our investigation. Should new evidence arise, further action may be taken if necessary.
Stonefall CQB also acknowledges our responsibility in this incident. We recognize that our FPS inspection and enforcement procedures were not as strict as they should have been. To address this, we have revised our Terms and Conditions and House Rules, including stricter FPS checks and enhanced safety measures to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
Our goal is to provide a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment where players of all ages, genders, and experience levels can participate with confidence.
We sincerely appreciate the patience, understanding, and continued support of our community as we work to maintain the highest standards of safety and sportsmanship at Stonefall CQB.
Thank you, and keep blasting safely!
