Tournament Rules:- are they too complex?

[Tony Harrison]

Yes, they are.

Rulebooks are getting to thick, and too much left to "discretion", which transalates into inconsistency.

So, here is my own set of rules:-

1. Semi -auto only. No ramping. All guns checked as they enter the field.
2. DQ any players that have a ramping gun or any other manner of gun cheat.
3. Hot guns: -50 for any 3 shots over 910.
4. DQ any players for playing on or wiping.
5. Excessively padded clothing is not permitted to be worn. This does not mean wearing a DYE or Empire jersey whcih is expressly made for paintball, but a puffa jacket that isn't.
6. Points: Flag hang 50
Eliminations 10
(Giving a max of 100)
7. Game time 5 mins.
8. That's it.

Well, that was easy. All I have to do know is find a tournament series that will adopt them.

3. Hot guns: -50 for any 3 shots over 910.

well i wont be playing it

 

[BubbleGumBob]

don't think iv ever seen a gun shoot 910!

 

[Tony Harrison]

To clarify:-

Guns are normally chronographed in 3-shot strings.

So a string of 300/299/302 would not be hot.

A string of 300/304/307 would.

Rule 1: No fat chicks.
Rule 2: Rule #5.

Rules too complex?

Have you ever looked at the rulebook for NCAA American football? More people play that than there are people playing tournament paintball, so I don't think, thickness-wise, we have anything to worry about. Whether or not those rules are good or are enforced as they should be is a different discussion though.

Game time 10 mins - why?
Nothing in the rules stated so far is going to do anything to affect the current game times.
Even at the lower level we are turning round games in 5 mins

Buddha - You should read the BAFA rules - Tis a mix of 3 set of rules

Agreed. I had this as 5 mins originally when I was writing the post, then changed it before I posted it as I was mindful of people complaining of not enough field time.

Amended!

rule 1 semi only ,only way to do this would be standard boards only or one make of board so cheat modes could be stopped
most of the other rules should be common sense
the playing on rule is one of the hardest,and needs alot of common sense.
