NPPL/Warp Feed Rules

[Prezents]

I heard that on the NPPL you cannot allow all your team to use the warp feed.
Is this true?????

I dont think so.... There is a pic on Warpig of a guy with a warp in a game at the NPPL World Cup.

Edit: I didnt read the whole post! I didnt see the part about all your team. But I still doubt it.

[Monsta]

I hope not, that would be really disappointing. Tom or anyone..is this true ?

Warp is fully legal for any NPPL event. It still must be fed with a gravity hopper.

[thei3ug]

consider the warp just a really really big highrise feed.

The Warp is legal yes, but your statement makes it appear as if gravity feed is required in the NPPL rules. It is not. The 2001 rules do not exclude methods of feeding.

See you on the field,

Rave uses our warp feeds. Once you get use to using them, it is hard to play without them. We plan on playing 2 NPPL events next year (Chicago and World Cup). We will use them in the NPPL too. With the warp challenge out, it even pays to use them.

From the updated 2001 NPPL Rules

5.2 MARKERS

5.21 Players may use a single, 68 caliber, pump or semi automatic paintball marker, which consists of a single barrel, a single trigger and gravity feed style magazine.

Follow-up

I am playing in a tournament in a few weeks were the rule is similar to that indicated in the post immediately above. The rules are GTS (Gulfcoast Tournament Series). Does anyone have any specific knowledge of Warpfeeds being disallowed or expressly allowed in tournaments governed by these rules?

[mrhooie]

not sure - but the warp still does use a gravity fed loader
which is specified in the rules

Warps can be used at all tournments I know of. I know for sure NPPL tournys are fine to use warps in. Look at Bob Long with one on his Timmy. As for the GTS you should contact some one in charge to be sure but I would surpised if any tournments would disallow the warps.

What is this warp challenge?

[21caballer]

has anyone used the warp at a panam event? what i was wondering most is how few balls you can have and still shoot with the warp. with a paint limit every ball counts in the games. would they allow you to fill the paint that you could not use before the limit?

[the123]

Warp Challenge was something AGD put together last year. If you use a warp in NPPL (I believe) tournaments, and win or place, you win extra bonus money. Bob Long ended up winning.

Pan Am will not allow you to pre-fill the feed tube so you lose the paint in the feed tube.
