In light of recent events, we would like to remind you that you may enter the training space only during the time stated on this page. The time may differ depending on the given map/location. If you are not sure about whether you may or may not enter a given location for the purpose of a training session, go with the timeline from 8.00 to 16.00. We have problems with the owners of the forest areas when some teams do not respect this timeline.
Therefore, we would like you all to be considerate and obey the time stated on this page.
