This happend when I was playing today. We were playing on a supair field. Some guy was playing really tight in a large stand up bunker. Someone on the other team ran to the same bunker, unaware that someone was on the other side. He hit the bunker pretty hard when he ran at it, and the guy on the other side when flying. He fell on his butt and got shot a lot. Is it legal to run into a bunker to bump the guy off the other side?

I dont think he meant to make the other guy fly. But if that was his intension, no its not legal. -

no its not legal, if i am correct, i dont think you can deform the bunker in anyway with your bodyComment

then why is it legal to push your gun into it to "dodge" incoming shots, you're deforming it, quite a bit too, w/ your gun, arm, and shoulder sometimes tooOriginally posted by IcantBelieveit

look if your playin rec ball, yea nobody is gonna call you on it...but if you playin NPPL tourney then yea, its illegalComment

I guess 'you cannot alter a bunker' would cover it. When the person runs into the bunker, and someone is on the other side leaning on it, the bunker doesn't move. All the energy goes into the guy leaning on it, who goes flying. The bunker isn't 'altered' any more than it would be if both the players were leaning against it at the same time. Or, like thejester said, when you push your barrel into the bunker.Comment

Marshmallowing!!
Its called Marshmallowing and as said earlier in NPPL and Most other tourney series it is not legal, But on the Rec field it can be very effective
.
just be careful because you can really send someone flying.

Everywhere/one Ive heard just said "bounce/bouncing/bounced" somone out of a bunker but marshmallowing sounds alot cooler and cant be confused with haveing a ball bounce...
Its most definatly illegal. And quite dangerous since its quite easy to throw your gun or your mask when being blown back like that.. Some leagues have specific rules against this (al la NCPA).. In NPPL I believe it constitutes physical contact between players, rather than manipulation of the field but dont quote me on that...
Heres the NCPA Rules for those interested:
12.4.6.5 Deliberately making contact with a bunker with the objective of bouncing an opposing player out of the bunker.
This counts under the GROSS catagory of penalties and as such
12.0.3 A gross penalty will result in the elimination of the offending player and the assessment of a 50 point penalty. Any team which receives a second gross penalty during the course of a tournament will receive an additional 50 point penalty, for a total of 100 points for that penalty. Any team which receives a third gross penalty in the course of a tournament will forfeit all points and be ejected from the tournament.

One more thing.. the player being marshmallowed: should be immediatly called nuetral and wiped clean by the ref when he gets back up, the player doing the marshmallowing should be elimated immediatly.."Nothing is more beutiful than a warrior with no distractions".

My cousin ws telling me that he played in a big tournament once, the name slips my mind, and this one team started doing that and it caught on. He played a long time ago, so I don't know if that's where it originated or not. But at one point it must have been legal because he said the other team didn't get called on it.Comment

If it is not legal to "alter" a bunker in any way , then why is everyone using 14" barrels to push the air bunkers out of the way? I know this is legal cause you see it at every airball game you go to.
Seems to me that if the officiating groups are going to make such rules , that they should make it uniform.
I have been blasted from, about 3 inches by a guy pushing back the air bunker.There was no call made on him for altering the bunker , so I think next time I am in that situation , I am gonna give the ole "marshmellow" a try.Comment

With that situation it's all depends on how the rule is taken. Moving a bunker with your barrel is a bit different then running straight into the bunker or physically moving it. I think it's all the way you interpret the rule.Comment
