NXL trigger spec changed

[athomas]

As of last week, the new trigger spec for the NXL (I don't think the NPPL spec changed) basically states that as long as the gun doesn't fire fully auto, then its ok. They allow ramping, turbo, bounce, reactive, anything as long as it isn't pull and hold the trigger to fire.

Personnally, I hope this doesn't transfer over to regular tournament play.

In testing, the new shocker apparently was able to put out a ball every 9 ft downfield by allowing this type of feature. I can't remember the speed of a ball after it has travelled 100ft downfield, but I do know that it translates into a lot of bps that can be maintained without much effort.

Anyone else hear about the new ruling? Comments?

just wondering where you heard this from?

I think it's pretty retarded. I don't know why they would do that, maybe the "pros" were complaining that their fingers hurt.

I don't understand why they don't just allow full auto if they do that, doesn't make sense at all. Everyone will set up their guns for when you hit 2bps it ramps to 30 or something stupid.

and thats why I prefer the NPPL. The PSP(Xball) is allowing cheater guns while the NPPL is DQ'ing teams for using cheater boards.

I hope you only mean ramping of BPS. Ramping velocity is a big no no. 300 fps was deamed the international limit and shoot stay that way. bps been rarely been limited if at all. Ramp bps... k whatever.. boucne,... hmm k whatever.. ramp your velocity and I will beat the "explictive deleted" out of you.

While I dont agree with what may no be legal, just so it keeps them safe, as in legal FPS, then let the pros get lit up.. fine by me..

Being as everything in his post is talking about BPS, I seriously doubt that they mean FPS.

Well depending how the rule pans out, NPPL could change too. Pressure from teams and sponsors can do a lot to make things change.

It is bps not fps.

My source is the CEO/Coach of the Miami Effect. I got the info from him directly.

Cool.

So, guys, what can you find to complain about now? They're not cheating anymore... maybe they wear too much clothing?

Cuz there's SOOOOOOOOOOO many of those in the NXL... I count a total of... um, carry the 3, minus 2....



zero.

Bouncing now legal.....interesting. I am sure they will have some reason why RT's are not allowed. We will wait and see.

On another note this is the same method that all forms of cheating have become part of the game (notice that I didn't say sport). Once again the people figuring out how to cheat the rules have determined where the direction of the game goes.

You guys have to live with it, I hope it works out.

I heard this same rumor from the Captain of my X Ball team. Grrrreat. I'm looking forward to more injury now.

Guess it's time to trade in my Viking for a DM4 or Alias so I can have a board modified.

I hate cheater boards and I shoot fast but it's hard to compete with boards that can ramp and shoot faster than me with just one finger.

Z-Man, we have GOT to get you on an NXL team

true

Trust me ramping and WAS debounce 1 are not the same. Given bounce helps alot. All of the ramping boards that I've shot.....are just....well it makes me sad.
