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 NBA does not go up to Kobe and be like, “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!” Hell no. So if someone figures out a way for their gun to be faster than someone else’s, good for them! Let them use it and quit crying about it. The NFL doesn’t go up to Warren Sapp and be like, “Warren, there are little kids watching the game, so if you could watch your language that would be great. Also, if we catch you wearing anything underneath your helmet like a bandanna or a head wrap you are not going to be allowed to play for the rest of the game. Good luck!” Don’t think so. So why must we keep changing our sport to be just like the others? Let players wear what they want and shoot as fast as they want. Players pay too much money to go somewhere and have someone tell them they can’t put two stickers on their hopper or wear a headband that hangs past their shoulders. Until we are all being paid to play at these events and are broadcast all over TV, we should not be hassled as much as we have been recently. Let the players play, and quit worrying about the petty <stuff>.

The rules sound good to me. If the players weren't so dishonest they wouldn't be necessary.

Some are, yes, but honestly, why cant players wear bandannas that hang lower then their shoulders? There are other rules that are dumb too, but they are all in the article.

so basically that entire article was from a whiny tourney player that likes to cheat, and hes upset cause he can't cheat anymore

Obviously you didn't take the time to read it, he had good points.

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.

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.
