It sounds ridiculous because it is! They really just shouldn't allow you to separate from your equipment.

Or, just make everyone tie their pods to their packs with rope/string/etc. so that it is an easy task to retrieve!

heres the real question, what about an empty pod is ur pack that gets hit, would that be an elimination?

[athomas]

A hit on anything you carry is considered an elimination. That is why you are eliminated when you pick up an item such as a pod that already contains a hit. The refs don't have to figure out if the hit was there before you picked it up. Any item that contains a hit is an automatic elimination.

Yep it says anything you are carrying or wearing. Anything. It could be a garden rake!

No I think spent pods should not count at all. I think it adds excitement to the game to allow enough paint that you can carry on to maintain the game level. I see why they wanted to except them in the rules.

I think its the common thought that anything the is picked back up is counted even retroactively to the hit on it. Not perfectly clear in the rules but its the right way to call it.

Never heard of this empty pod thing you Canadians were using that day. Very odd and that is a very huge deviation from the NPPL rules. I think your right that its good it never happened to be called. Somebody would have had a problem with that.
