For more information on the topic, please see the [[rules]] of the game.

| '''''What is a [[zone]]?'''''
| A zone is a virtual area situated in a physical location in the real world and is a central game element in ''Turf''. Zones are represented in the game by the red, yellow or green dots or polygons in the map view. When you stand inside the borders of a zone you perform a [[takeover]], or a ''take''. By [[Takeover|taking]] zones players score [[points]] and achieve various [[medals]]. Players indirectly [[Rank|rank up]] by taking zones, as the player gathers more pointsare gathered.

A blocked zone is marked with black and yellow stripes and a clock symbol within its borders on your map. You will have to wait for the block timer of the zone to run out before you are able to take it. If you already own the zone, you can not take it again until at least 23 hours have passed. See [[revisit]]s.

| Block time is the duration of which a zone is not able to be [[Takeover|taken]] by any player. This time duration is dependent on the [[rank]] of the player which who performed the takeover of the zone.
|-
| '''''How long is the [[block time]]?'''''
| From 5 10 minutes up to 30 25 minutes depending on the [[rank]] of the player who took the zone. A player starts at rank 0 with rank 1-5 has 5 minutes a block timeof 10 minutes. Rank 6-30 has a When reaching level 60, the current max level, the duration of the block time in minutes equal to the rank. Rank 31 and above still only has 30 is 25 minutes. A [[revisit]] will only block a zone for 5 minutes, no matter the takerplayer's rank. To see how much is left of the block time just tap on the zone.

| '''''What is [[takeover time]]?'''''
|-
| '''''Is it possible to get a shorter [[takeover time]]?'''''
| In the beginning of your Turf career your take over takeover time is 30 seconds. As you level up (by earning [[points]]) that time will decrease all the way up until rank 60, where you will get the shortest possible takeover time of only 18 seconds. Your takeover time can be further decreased in two ways: Having the GPS on will grant you the [[GPS bonus]], granting you a five second decrease of your takeover time. By becoming [[Region Lord]] you receive another five seconds deduction of your takeover time. Thus, the shortest achievable [[takeover time]] time is 8 seconds.
