Tournament rules ethics, quick question

Big Agree there,
I think a pro reffing assoc. would solve a ton of problems.

[trains are bad]

Written rules, and enforcement of them.

Last tourney I played sock hats were specifically stated to be illegal in the captains meeting. Odd, but whatever. Later in the tourney at least 5 people are wearing sock hats and not even bothering to hide it, while mine was in my gear bag because I was following the rules. I went to the head ref and asked if sock hats were allowed. I was told no.

It's just a sock hat, but it's still wrong.

I would have to agree with this also. Right now it is very cut throat. Hard to excell with out big money and fastest crap out there. It be nice to slow it down get everyone on the same page. It will happen soon.

Rules (not talkin safety here) are there for one reason... To level the playing field...
The teams that are gonna win are the ones who can walk the line the rules make or sneak across it without being caught... plain and simple...

[WARPED1]

Should play by letter of the rules.

I remember a quote that I heard, "Never break the rules. Bend them alot". Kind of like the tourniment scene of today.

if your inferring about skyball rules; I think they are a little confused because of the following:

quoted from http://www.skyball8.com/rules/index.aspSection 5.2 shall have all points amassed up to the point such discovery removed, and such teams will no longer be allowed to continue to participate in the tournament"

but Section 5.2 contains the following:
"5.20 GAME ENDINGS "

which has nothing to do with markers

But there is also this rule that says whatever rule the judge makes up is the rule:

"2.52 Anything not specified in Section 5.01 through 5.34, inclusive, as permitted shall be prohibited unless allowed by the Head Judge."

So we need to ask is fullauto allowed at skyball 8?

If it does someone needs to make the magnum loader for the AT-85 or what use to be called the ts1 select fire.

Team with these would be cool

Ask Tony sock hats= the bounce.

Sock hat=horribly ugly Not sure about the bounce factor, as I never wore one. I sure know I got a ton off my beanie's.

Apparently, trying to get bounces=cheating. As long as you stay within the rules about what you can and can't wear. It isn't cheating.

sock hat beanie, whatevs.

[tony3]

Hehe, beanies do rule. I get an insane amount of bounces off mine. Just a standard knit beanie.

[Miscue]

If it is not specified as illegal, it is implied as legal. Changing the rules at the event? No way. Wait until the end of the season, or at least the end of that event before a change is made. If an NFL rule was changed during a game, there'd be hell to pay!

Sock hats are the official hat of the gay eskimo lumberjack olympics. Bearnies are cool.
