CLOSE QUARTERS IS NOW A SPORT. WE KEEP THE SCORE.
Real platforms. Objective scoring. One national leaderboard. CQX is the standard that turns force-on-force from a drill into a ranked sport.
EVERY TACTICAL GAME PICKS TWO.
REALISM & STAKES
Real platforms, real consequences.
OBJECTIVE SCORING
A hit is a hit. No honor system.
ACCESS & SAFETY
Repeatable, insurable, anyone can climb in.
Paintball, laser tag, and airsoft each surrender one. CQX assigns the trade-off by tier, and holds all three.
NOT A VENUE. A STANDARD.
A shared library of standardized layouts. New config every month, identical at every location. The course is the same; only you change.
One national leaderboard. Your CQX number holds every score you've ever posted. Rank decays if you stop, so you don't.
Operator to Safety Officer. UTM-recognized, CQX-governed. The credential that lets you run the line, and earns respect beyond it.
CRAWL. WALK. RUN.
Anyone, no experience. The on-ramp.
Daily reps, real manual of arms. Build the fundamentals.
This is where the score counts.
You don't touch the ranked tier until you've earned it.
A NEW HOUSE, EVERY MONTH.
HQ ships a coordinate spec. Every affiliate builds the identical layout. Your run posts to the same board as everyone else's. Miss the meta, miss the rank.
