The NPPL just banned clear hoppers in tourny. Why?
And I just purchased a Clear Halo.

Yes, hits were almost invisible due to the paint in the hopper's color.

Personally, I Think the banning of clear hoppers is simply because they have lazy refs. If the ref would actually LOOK it wouldnt be an issue.Comment

But I've never done a HALO so I could be wrong.
Paint is always an option. Use something that can be removed and go back to clear after the event.Comment

True squid, a quick finger swipe and itd be no problem but hey gotta listen to the refs so they say no clears no clears it is...

I was wondering when they'd pick that up...
One of the original cheats. Clear hoppers, then stickers, then MORE stickers, then Plexus a clear hopper with no stickers...
If only these guys put as much effort in being good at playing...

How about using paint that has a fill color that isn't the same as the shell? Black shell, pink paint, anyone?
You'd think that might actually work in the ref's favor, say, for a clear hopper that's mostly empty, you can see through the hopper and perhaps detect a hit on the other side where previously you wouldn't with an opaque hopper."Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.Comment

Glasses for the refs.Comment

Because then most people with HALO's would be SOL. Mine will not work correctly at all with black (dark coloured) shells at all.
