Pyrotechnics in sup-air

[Ion_Paintball]

I know its going to be a daft question and probably one where everyone brings out the pitch forks.... BUT

Is it actually in the rule that smoke grenades/Pryotechnics are not allowed in a tourament game?

Just couldnt see it anywhere and came up in a dissicuion the other day!

only rules i had handy are the IXl rules

13. Prohibited Equipment
13.01 Prohibited equipment includes listening devices, communication devices or any form of electronic surveillance device, incendiary devices, smoke-producing devices, paintballs with red fill, paintballs which are toxic or not biodegradable or indelible, or paintballs which have a shell, fill or both altered or augmented in any way. Players found using prohibited paintballs or carrying prohibited paintballs in their pods or loaders (hoppers) or with an open box of such paintballs will banned from the next event and will be will not be allowed continue until they are using legal paint..

Plus remember that the bunkers are rubber mate.

You quite often get the odd punter use them on sup'air at rental sites, followed by the spectacle of a few marshals desperately trying to get them out from under a bunker before they melt a big hole in them!

I asked Russ this a few years back, and he said it wasn't against the rules in the PA. So it might be worth checking, but might be worth a giggle...

Yer thats what i thought...

I understand they are rubber etc and not the best idea, but wondered if it was written in the mill or Nppl rules etc that they are legally not allowed..

2.5min smoke in next PA game. will turn heads and course a riot on here!

You just want to stop them getting tea for a while, not destroy everything
