Rules
The Millennium Rulebook has been adopted as the Standard Rulebook worldwide. The NPPL Super 7 rules have adopted the Millennium Series rules.
A rules commissioner will oversee the updating and re-writing the rules in consultation with the Ultimate Judge. To all rules common sense will be applied.
Immediate Rule Changes for the 2003 Season
You are not allowed to play with jerseys with padding sewn into the shoulders and only a single layer of padding is allowed on the elbow.
Transfers and Moving divisions A player can move as many times as he wants inside his own division. Outside the division the player can move UP as many times as he wants. If the player has moved down once, he cannot move up or down again, he will have to stay in that division for the rest of the season.
Rule number 8.3.2 will be deleted.
Rule on “player damages barricade on purpose” will be deleted.
Shooting through a barricade: if there is a hole through which you can be shot, you can shoot through it. You cannot move the barricade up and create a hole or lift the barricade to shoot underneath it.
Mistakes on score sheets: Obvious mistakes made on the score sheets can be adjusted by the Ultimate Judge, after liaison with both team captains. Example: Scores swapped between the two teams.
Teams will not be allowed to stage outside the players tent. Not in the vendor area nor in the sponsors’ space.
The score for “no show” will be the average of the games played against teams in the division of the “no show” team or 90. Whichever is highest.
Marshalling teams will be sanctioned if they do not meet up with the requirements asked. They get one official warning from the Ultimate Judge before they can be sanctioned.
The highest four scores will count for the Overall ranking.
THE FINALS
There will be a new format for the finals but not the semi finals.
Team 1 plays team 4. Team 2 plays team 3. Both over the best of three games. If one team wins the first two games the third will not be played.
The Winner from 1 v 4 will play the winner of 2 v 3 for 1st and 2nd position and the teams who have lost compete for 3rd and 4th place still in a best of 3 competition. This will increase the number of games played from 3 to between four and six.
Millennium Nations X-ball Cup
Europe will have an X-ball exhibition in the form of the Nations Cup.
Priority will go to those countries with a significant player base and also those with high ranking but proposals are welcome from all countries.
The highest ranked team’s captain will select a National team out of at least three other teams that have entered the Millennium Series.
The only fee required will be to meet part of the costs met by the promoters to host such an event. This will come down to 3000 euros per team per year. The roster can hold up to 12 players. Captains are welcome to approach sponsors to meet the costs of participation.
Each team plays 4 games each Millennium event. These games will be held after the “regular” games have been played. Each event one X-ball team will marshal.
Not only will this give Europe a chance to experience X-ball, it will also give all players a chance to get picked for the team representing their country.
