        What the hell? That's one of the most retarded things that I've ever heard. Why couldnt they make the paint yellow instead? Yellow guns arent as common.
        I think orange guns are tight as hell

          well like it said they already banned orange and pink jerseys a while ago(1or2yr ago) to just finishing what they should have stated in the begining.


          looks like the pink gun revolution is going down.

            bah

            Well if they are banning orange they might as well ban blue, pink, white and yellow markers and equipment. (I'm assuming it was banned because of paint fill colors)

              NPPL comes up with some serious wacked up rules.

              i played in an NPPL tourney a while back. i run out to the field in shorts. the ref looked at me like 4 times, but just before the game started, he tells me to go change.
              i said, "what?!".
              he said, 'you can't wear shorts on the field' i then had to change with about a minute before the game started.

              a teammate also got warned about having stickers on his halo.


              and this gear and gun thing. i mean honestly...we're gonna end up going to the field naked and using slingshots if this keeps up

                You wore shorts to an nppl tourney? Wow, the last local tourney I played didn't allow shorts. It seems like when the nppl directors get bored they make up some rules.

                  its always been a rule you cant wear shorts that should have been no surprise. i wouldnt complain they could have just waited for the game to start and then pulled you.


                  i dont know i think most of the rules they have made will make it a better game. less cheating, easier on the refs.

                  new rules suck but......

                    well, i knew some of the rules, but i guess the short rule must have slipped my mind.

                    i was wearing some kneepads. about %99 of my legs were covered


                    oh yaa....i got pulled off the break anyway

                      I don't get it. I think the no orange rules make sense. It helps the refs do their job. Banning pink and orange makes sense. The reason why you won't have problems with blue, white and yellow is because NPPL paint is always orange and pink (they reserve those colors (no jerseys can be orange or pink).

                        yes it was banned because of paint fill colors, but blue and white are more common colors then orange and pink....and they only use pink and orange fill paint, so what you just posted is honestly one of the more immature things i have ever read...


                        and its not like its a huge deal to these players...all they have to do is tell there sponsers and they will send them new colored markers....most of all these players don't ever pay for equipment....


                        if paintball was to be put into the olymipics it would be much worse then this...rules are made for fair play...would you want to be playing a team wearing the same color as the paint??what if you hit someone and the ref doesn't see it?what then the NPPL needs new refs?


                        didn't mean to flame but you have to realize that this isnt that big of a thing...

                          i really dont care what rules they make as long as it makes the game a little more fair to play and harder to cheat, im all for it.

                            I hate the "no clear hopper" rule, but it is very hard to see white paint on a clear hopper.

                              ditto, if it discourages cheating and helps the refs do their job, i dont have a problem with it
