You KNOW that you were hit. You can FEEL it. The only thing you are not sure anout is whether is broke or not. It should be YOUR responsibility to find out. If you continue to play and are marked you are penalized. Playing on will go WAY down if it is done this way.

I disagree with you. We need more honest players and better reffing. I wear very baggy pants and boots when I play. You hit my boots and I won't feel it. Hit my pants and I probably won't feel it. I can't tell you how many paintballs I find in my pockets after a game, unbroken of course. Baggy pants are great for trapping balls. I have even taken balls out of my pockets and fired them back as a joke in rec play. Get hit in a pod, you going to feel that?

If I feel any kind of hit, I will call for a piant check. However, I have caught shots in the folds of pants that broke that I didn't feel. Heck I didn't notice until a teammate told me to clean off the side of my knee before the next game. No wiping, not intentional. Had someone pointed it out to me, I would have left the game. I just did not feel it at all.

Warped1, you can have Salm. But if he show's up to my tourney, I ain't playing with him.

Bad enough you cheat on the field, but he wasn't even playing.

Heh, I met the guy from GZ who beat the crap out of Salm when he got caught. Great guy.

[WARPED1]

I was there when he went running out of the dead box after ninjaboy!I was like "WTF?"

[ogre55]

Salm is lucky the GZ guy didn't beat him into the ground, but rather just caught him and dragged him out of the woods screaming like the "female dog" that he is.

ogre- i meant that three months wouldve been long enuff IF he apologized (three months b4 playin tourney) but that doesnt include nppl/psp.... he deserves his punishment there. Also, i pull the wiper and the closest teamate.. as unfair to him that may be.

warped- i wouldnt play with salm. He may earn another chance but until he clears his reputation...

I'm all for that. At least the second is possible.

I wear very baggy pants and boots when I play...Baggy pants are great for trapping balls.

Pants like that are/should be against the rules.

Get hit in a pod, you going to feel that?

Sure. I've been hit many, many times in the pods. I can only remember one that I did not feel.

I have caught shots in the folds of pants that broke that I didn't feel. Heck I didn't notice until a teammate told me to clean off the side of my knee before the next game. No wiping, not intentional.

With "proper" fitting clothing that would be eliminated. Also, I'm not trying to say that it never happens. However, those who play fair would be far, far better off with these rules. For those few times you might get penalized when you didn't know you were hit you would have those playing against you with go out more often and/or be penalized more. I know that I would certainly take that trade off.

I guess this is a matter of personal preference. I don't think that playing in a tourny three months after WC was proper, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on this one. Never mind the fact that he is a "Pro" player participating in a "non-Pro" tournament, but that is another thread (and in my opinion another nail in his coffin).

Also, i pull the wiper and the closest teamate.. as unfair to him that may be.

Pulling a 1-1 for wiping is not unfair to the teammate. It's unfair to the opposition who are playing rec ball (I assume) and all they want is a nice fun day of paintball.

Maybe, with the help of his teammate who was pulled, the offending player will learn his lesson.

Change the rules and I'll change my pants. I like wearing baggy pants as it better camoflauges my girth . I guess my girth is what pads pod hits. I should also clarify what I meant by a pod hit. I am talking about that long ball hit that you wouldn't even feel if you were hit in the goggles. A close up pod hit you will always feel.

I still think better refs and more honest players are the solution.

Leave Baggy pants alone. They are a fat guy's best friend!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here is an excerpt from the NPPL rules:

5.03. Players must wear pants or shirts or jackets that fit well. Players may not wear oversized clothing. If a judge deems that a player's clothing is oversized, the judge may require new attire or make temporary adjustments using tape, pins, etc.

But hey, nothing will probably stop you from wearing it for rec play.

Lawsuit time!

Woohoo! I got a lawsuit! This rule blatantly discriminates against overweight Americans! Is that a protected group now? Who do I sue?
