Tournament jersey restrictions?

[warpfeedmod]

Is it true that some tourneys wont let you wear jerseys that are TOO big and floppy? Also what's the current stance on numbers/names on the backs?

I checked the NPPL rules and don't see anything in there about either of these.

[P4ULuk]

Millenium has just stated that padded jerseys will not be allowed.

Rules

The Millennium Rulebook has been adopted as the Standard Rulebook worldwide. The NPPL Super 7 rules have adopted the Millennium Series rules.
A rules commissioner will oversee the updating and re-writing the rules in consultation with the Ultimate Judge. To all rules common sense will be applied.

Immediate Rule Changes for the 2003 Season

 You are not allowed to play with jerseys with padding sewn into the shoulders and only a single layer of padding is allowed on the elbow.
 Transfers and Moving divisions A player can move as many times as he wants inside his own division. Outside the division the player can move UP as many times as he wants. If the player has moved down once, he cannot move up or down again, he will have to stay in that division for the rest of the season.
 Rule number 8.3.2 will be deleted.
 Rule on “player damages barricade on purpose” will be deleted.
 Shooting through a barricade: if there is a hole through which you can be shot, you can shoot through it. You cannot move the barricade up and create a hole or lift the barricade to shoot underneath it.
 Mistakes on score sheets: Obvious mistakes made on the score sheets can be adjusted by the Ultimate Judge, after liaison with both team captains. Example: Scores swapped between the two teams.
 Teams will not be allowed to stage outside the players tent. Not in the vendor area nor in the sponsors’ space.
 The score for “no show” will be the average of the games played against teams in the division of the “no show” team or 90. Whichever is highest.
 Marshalling teams will be sanctioned if they do not meet up with the requirements asked. They get one official warning from the Ultimate Judge before they can be sanctioned.
 The highest four scores will count for the Overall ranking.


THE FINALS

There will be a new format for the finals but not the semi finals.
Team 1 plays team 4. Team 2 plays team 3. Both over the best of three games. If one team wins the first two games the third will not be played.
The Winner from 1 v 4 will play the winner of 2 v 3 for 1st and 2nd position and the teams who have lost compete for 3rd and 4th place still in a best of 3 competition. This will increase the number of games played from 3 to between four and six.

Millennium Nations X-ball Cup

Europe will have an X-ball exhibition in the form of the Nations Cup.

Priority will go to those countries with a significant player base and also those with high ranking but proposals are welcome from all countries.

The highest ranked team’s captain will select a National team out of at least three other teams that have entered the Millennium Series.
The only fee required will be to meet part of the costs met by the promoters to host such an event. This will come down to 3000 euros per team per year. The roster can hold up to 12 players. Captains are welcome to approach sponsors to meet the costs of participation.

Each team plays 4 games each Millennium event. These games will be held after the “regular” games have been played. Each event one X-ball team will marshal.
Not only will this give Europe a chance to experience X-ball, it will also give all players a chance to get picked for the team representing their country.

Interesting stuff!

[digitard]

I've heard thats true in a lot of cases ... also includes pants because the extreme baggyness can cause a "cushion" for the pant and it can unfairly bounce off.

crap..

me and my buds were looking at getting those new dye for our team

[Clare]

woohoo I'm the spokesperson for padded jersies! lol

I'm wearing my dye arm pads underneath so I look even more "cushy"

me and my buds were looking at getting those new dye for our team

I don't think you have to worry about it unless you're playing the millenium series

[Mr Pink]

Ah, but how long before the NPPL/PSP/X-Ball/Whatever rules are changed too? After all the Millennium series does tend to set precedent

P.s Cap, don't you play with a Hopper anymore? Or it the new 'Pro lo-profile' look?

[Clare]

I doubt it'll happen within the year though, the dye jerseys can be changed the following year to accomodate to any new rules..and if they DO change then I don't mind going out with holes on my shoulders and forearms..actually, I do!

Cap, don't you play with a Hopper anymore? Or it the new 'Pro lo-profile' look?

Keep up G-man! hopperless is the way to play nowadays!

[BajaBoy]

hey clare, i know this is a stupid question and no reason for me to ask it but have u ever played/tried to play with nails on? lol

[FreshmanBob]

Anyone know how the exchange rate for Euros to US dollars? Sounds like some damn good rules.

[Clare]

hey clare, i know this is a stupid question and no reason for me to ask it but have u ever played/tried to play with nails on?

fingernails? I dont have any! I cut them all off cause I can't stand the feel of long nails so I have ugly manly hands . I'm used to not having nails especially since I play the piano and violin.

[halB]

[Clare]

Good way to sneak another player on the field

any particular reason they didn't send anything smaller?

[Clare]

that's all they had at the time

[straightshot]

I doubt that the PSP will be banning these DYE jerseys any time soon being that they are one of the main sponsors involved with the PSP.

As far as what the Millenium series has decided I'm kind of surprised. I own a '03 DYE jersey and the padding is certainly not thicker than elbow or knee pads.

[OttO]

so you're not allowed to wear baggy pants? what is the offense if u wear em? this soudns pretty stupid to me.

Hope you didn't mind me using that pic Clare? We're discussing the topic over at P8ntballer.com and the pic was used there!

Cheers,

.... besides, it is a nice pic

Chances are this won't be enforced(the pants, im sure the jersey rule will). It's just too hard to determine whether someone is wearing pants that are "too baggy" or not, the term is too vague, whereas padding on jersies is a clear cut thing.

[OttO]

yea, that what i'm saying. i thought the hopper sticker rule was enforced all year long until this year's cup:

now if i recall, "one black and white sticker per hopper side."
