Yay! More rules for the pro pleyers to bend and cheat with! Go NPPL! (sighs with sarcasm)

seems like #3 would be an obvious one

[Jonneh]

Don't you think it would be a good idea if they also told us the reasons for said rules?

Halfwits like me don't understand why half of them are there.

[Thordic]

1 and 2 don't seem to make much sense, but then look at 6 and you'll understand.

I think the basic idea is to elimate colors that could interfere with the easy identification of hits on the player.

Seems to make sense to me. On first read, I didn't understand the sticker and hopper thing, but now I get it.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

YOU have got to be kidding me!!!!??? limiting the color of your HOPPER!? and the stickers, not only the size color of the stickers, but how many on each side! the rest make more sense than the first two
but on #3, what happens if you loose your ballance, and fall, are you out? the can be a lil aggravating...

I'd love to see someone like the Ironmen or the Jax Warriors boycott because of "Adhesive Reasons"

[Webmaster]

1 and 2 are because people are putting 100 Diablo stickers on thier loader and then its hard to see a hit. So they are trying to keep it so hopper hits are easy to see - keeping the shells one color and not some painted pattern or plastered with multi-colored stickers..

If you fall out of bounds it - its your bad. Just like if you fall down running to your bunker and get lit up - you dont get a re-do to get up and make it again...

I think these new rules look good... but just because you dont under stand them dont make them stupid...

Damn...no pink jerseys with orange trim!?!?!?

[Ov3rmind]

Wait, so can hoppers still be clear?

[sbikeclix]

i think so, beacuase its one SOLID color, not different colors

[Muzikman]

hmm..thats a good question. The hopper it's self would be one solid color, but the paint in side would change the color of the hopper

[zads27]

I think it's a damn good idea, cuz it makes hopper hits or other kinds of hits easier to identify, and less often confused with your "paintball splat" decal on your hopper. That's what the rules basically are there for.

Now, if you wanted to take this to an extreme, they'd limit the jersey colors/designs, goggle skins, and goggle wear as well...
but that would DEFINATELY envoke an enormous deathcry from all you speedball fruitcakes with the bright multicolored jerseys..
hehe just kidding, but yeah..

well once i get my warp, them hopper hits will become a moot point.

[Miscue]

Kinda of like how busy, white, and orange shirts are not allowed in table tennis. Actually, you can wear a white shirt if using an orange ball, and same idea with an orange shirt.

The NPPL rule that makes me think is the no nylon rule (as well as wool, rubber, and felt)... There's at least a couple different 'paintball' pants made out of nylon. PJs and JT Destroyers for example... I believe.
