“Ugh Mr. Bryant, you jump too high and run too fast, so in order to level the playing field you have to play with bricks strapped to your feet ok? Thanks. “Oh, if you don’t your team forfeits the rest of the season, thanks buddy!” GR8, i like watching speedball but i know i'll never be able to be a pro, i still think the shirt, head wear, and gun things are dumb. |

Some of those rules do seem pretty unneccessary but then again I'm not ecactly pro, so I don't have to worry about that at the moment.... ------------- ROCK IS DEAD!!! Long Live Paper and Scissors |

The rules sound good to me. If the players weren't so dishonest they wouldn't be necessary. ------------- http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/2688/3guns27ef.jpg - My Paintball Guns http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2711/arand9mmak9.jpg - New "Toys" |

he did??????? He made points to cover up his true points. Untucked jerseys to show sponsors? No, untucked to promote bounces. Stickers??? Who cares, they just hide hits..... are you a paintball player or a billboard? pads, yes. Good point. even though most fields are grass or sand. he even supports ramped and bouncing boards. i mean dubbya tee eff??? and saying that boards are set that way from the factory is no excuse. Any player should read the rules before they play and make neccasary changes. Because some kids don't know how to tweak their guns or have a proshop do it, is somehow the NPPL's fault? *edit* I also found the Kobe Bryant analogy to be total crap. Kobe Bryant can jump because he has the skill to do so. Players don't shoot fast because they have skill, they cheat to do it. The rule always has been one shot per pull of the trigger. They just found a better way to enforce it. If you get disqualified its your own fault for trying to push the rules and cheat the robot. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

| Rules are rules- know them and follow them, it's really pretty simple. From a distance that sticker may look like a hit so a ref indicates your gone, another pulls your arm band and you whine and cry it was the sticker. Many of those rules are designed to make the job of the refs easier, to help ensure players are pulled for legit hits and not something that looks like a hit. As far as tucking in the jersey- my Gawd tourney guys wear clothes 2 and 3 sizes to big- those jersyes would hang down to your thighs easily hiding hits from the refs. And if a guy plays 5 minutes with a hit that gets found after the fact that can be game changing. My opinion the guys just whining to whine and he's never reffed much either I'd bet. |

 The Guy!
Pro paintball and paintball in general has a huge problem with cheating. I would be fine with a rule that said if you get cought wiping your out for a year, and your team is out of the tourny. Every sucesseful sport has to have strict rules, and if that means you can't where your ornamental head gear because some players use it to hide hits and get bounces so be it. ------------- http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/2688/3guns27ef.jpg - My Paintball Guns http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2711/arand9mmak9.jpg - New "Toys" |
