What the NPPL can and will do now is anybody's guess but without a tournament circuit and teams to play in them, they are basically powerless and have now, no obvious role to play in pro paintball.

Could this be due to the silly rules they introduced this year. Virtually every stock electro except the E-Mag was illegal by the 2002 rules. I predicted that this would happen the first time I heard about the new gun restrictions.

No,it is because of what happened a few years ago.Go to one of the links and read it.NPPL will make it on,it has to.

Viva La NPPL Resistance!

Which silly rules?

I didnt think the semi-only rule took effect? The only one I heard people complaining about was the hopper stickers (which i think the rule is valid).

What rule was this???

i jsut read an article about stickers on hoppers on that site. here's the link.

people read this. does anyone see anything wrong with this or is it me.

just replace the ***** with you know what. or if someone could, change it for me.

2002 NPPL rules ban any marker that is capable of shooting in a mode other than semi. Even if it has a tourney lock.

[Spaceman613]

I think the "article" was making a mountain out of a mole hill. I dont see a problem with limiting hopper stickers. Why not use the pods? some packs leave them exposed, maybe sew a patch on the pack? or the belt? or the mask strap. There are PLENTY of places that you can advertise besides the hopper. As for free speech? Come on, this is a constitutional issue. If you dont like the rules, dont play. You deal with the rules, even the ones you dont agree with.

Now he said if a ref misses a hit he wasnt looking, but this is to make it easier for refs to see hits. We see bad calls, this is just trying it make it easier on them.

So I cant put DIABLO stickers all over my hopper, big deal. if I was advertising them, I would not be loading the hopper anyway. I would have one large bold sticker that showed the name or logo clearly.

Any other viewpoints?

[Spaceman613]

mykroft. I cant find that rule. Which number is it? what section? I dont disagree, I just cant find it.

[mykroft]

I don't have the rulebook handy. Go through the gun section closely. It's a rather short entry.

The emag would be banned too.... It has burst modes.

Originally from www.NPPL.com
5.2 MARKERS
5.22. Players may use a single, 68 caliber, pump or semi automatic paintball marker, which consists of a single barrel, a single trigger. Double action triggers and paintball markers capable of firing in other than semi auto auto or pump mode are prohibited.

There you go

As worded it is kind of vague. I think that as long as the other fire modes can't be accessed during a game they would be OK. Because if the modes were locked out, they wouldn't be capable of firing in them. But others would read it as if the marker even has the other fire modes programed into the software it wouldn't be allowed.
