Millenniums new rule against shoulder padding

Munky

Better Things 2 Do!
Does that also mean you can't wear elbow pads like jt Skins or the Dye ones? when it says only a single layer of padding is allowed on the elbow.

But yeah would like to know if the dye tops are banned cause we were also looking at them for team kit:confused:

Protection for those areas I mentioned in my last post are o.k. according to the rules. Too much padding anywhere or padding in areas other than elbows, knees, etc. are not going to be allowed. I interpret more than a single layer of padding to mean elbow pads PLUS padding in the jersey, etc.

I am not the rules guy for Millennium or NPPL but if I judge in an event and I see the Dye jerseys in question or any other with illicit padding, I will let that player know he/she must change jerseys before being allowed to play. That's the way I'll do it at Huntington Beach (unless told specifically otherwise) and I have TOTAL confidence I will be backed up by the ultimate.

Sorry about that but the line on padding has to be drawn somewhere or PB players will start looking like those carnival padded Sumo wrestlers.

"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."

The new Dye tops as far as I can see are have padding sewn into the shoulders...... imho they will be banned unless that rule gets taken back....

I should imagine that Dye should of at least been told that there tops where not going to be allowed in the biggest paintball events..
