Details

Mask standards ensure player safety during all 1v1 matches. Goggles must meet certified impact ratings and include lenses free of cracks or structural damage. Foam, straps, and frames must fit securely.

Modifications that alter structural integrity, such as drilling or removing protective elements, are not allowed. Cosmetic modifications may be permitted if they do not affect safety.

Masks must be worn at all times inside active areas. Removing, lifting, or adjusting a mask during gameplay results in immediate penalties due to safety risk.
