NPPL to ban orange guns and equipment

[Ballin with a MAG]

they banned pink paint which is crazy if u ask me along with the no clear loaders and only 1 sticker deal whats up with that

[LoveMyMagMoreThanYou]

I hate the "no clear hopper" rule, but it is very hard to see white paint on a clear hopper.

But, if you can only use pink or orange paint then why ban the clear loaders. At least now I know why they did it.......

its that and if you have a pink paint in a clear hopper and the other team is shooting pink its hard to see a hit

orange/chrome combo markers are my favorite color marker, this sucks

That's kind of what I figured. Someone else told me something completely different.

what?

so what you just posted is honestly one of the more immature things i have ever read...

How is what I said immature? I did not know nppl only used pink and orange. My point was that the refs should be watching enough to see the paint break and spray, and if the player calls a paintcheck the ref only needs to see the shell in a glance.

I'm surprised it took them this long!!! A while back I read they are reserving pink and orange colors for paint only!!!

The reason for no clear hoppers is becuase a ref cant tell if the paint is broken inside, or outside the hopper.

at my field we use kickin paint in pink and white and lately a lot of people have been wearing pink and white jerseys so my field has banned them in tourney play. and they are in no way part of any league they are just a small mom and pop field

NPPL comes up with some serious wacked up rules.

i played in an NPPL tourney a while back. i run out to the field in shorts. the ref looked at me like 4 times, but just before the game started, he tells me to go change.
i said, "what?!".
he said, 'you can't wear shorts on the field' i then had to change with about a minute before the game started.

a teammate also got warned about having stickers on his halo.


and this gear and gun thing. i mean honestly...we're gonna end up going to the field naked and using slingshots if this keeps up

That is your fault, both those rules are clearly stated in the rule book. Hell the shorts rule is in place in every major tournament event. I do not know one that doesn't require long pants (down to the ankle) and long sleeve shirts (down to the wrists).

It seems like when the nppl directors get bored they make up some rules.

:rofl:

Do you play NPPL? If not, what do you care?

[CaptaiN_JacK]

THis honestly isn't a big deal, but people make it out to be such a huge change. It doesn't affect the way you play at all. If it were a rule that hindered your playing ability, then it could be controversial, but this is so overrated.

then maybe you should have read the whole article instead of posting in a mili-second...i don't mean to flame....it just came off wronge to me...
