Sorry for me asking your opinion, what arrogance from me.
I'm pulling out the team for reffing duty, we are not gonna burn our hands on this nonsens.
leaving the spinzone, good luck...
Markie X,
I definitely did not mean any disrespect with this answer. I still haven't learned when and where to put the smileys.
What I meant by read the words just as they're written is that the (NPPL and NXL) rules say none of those colors in exposed clothing.
There is so much qualification of the answers going on here that it is very difficult to make it clear and sometimes I have to repeat what I've already said in this thread and sometimes I forget what I haven't said.
Again, what it seems we have come to is this:
It looked like, when the announcement was made about the NPPL and Millennium cooperation, that we would follow NPPL rules with a few changes. Now it looks like the reverse is true, at least to start with.
Again, I've come on this thread to try to get those who participate in the Millennium series to realize that sometime in the not-so-distant future we are going to again conform more closely to the other major league rules. Therefore we should start seeing an end to inconsistencies about padding, colors and many other details.
I wanted to get us thinking as far in advance as possible.
As we discussed these issues it became clear and directed that any possible changes must be phased in and not put into effect, for example, at Maxs Masters. It may be that IF some changes discussed here get implemented into our rules they may not go into effect until next season.
So we won't have another round like this next year before the season starts and I thought it best to prepare people to think about NOT buying the items of controversy (extra-padded jerseys, pink or orange articles of clothing, clear hoppers, etc.)
Obviously I have failed in some of my wording and in some of my efforts because so many people (including Pipes now) have jumped on my case. (There are some people who have quietly shown their appreciation that at least I'm trying to publicly have a look at these issues and that I will stick my neck out.)
I certainly haven't intended to offend anyone; least of all you, Markie X.
To try to answer your question, Markie X, IF the color thing goes into effect sometime it will apply to exposed clothing and stickers, not markers. I hope that answers your question.
I ask everyone else to bear with me while I try to make sense out of this until we can discuss this in Bitburg.
Steve
