8-20-04: Rule Clarification:
Color Orange in Uniforms #8-10-04





Rule 9.08 reads Players' uniforms may not contain orange or pink coloring, which are reserved as protected paint colorings.


The intent of the original rule was to include all equipment; however, the rule only stated uniform and the term "uniform" was not defined in the NPPL Rule Book.

The NPPL Rules Committee motioned to add the words "and equipment" to rule 9.08 to include all packs harness, pods, tubes, hats, padding, shoes and so on. After much debate, the rules committee decided to pass the rule with the following condition that orange markers would be allowed until 1-01-05.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rule 9.08 now reads "Players' uniforms and equipment may not contain orange or pink coloring, which are reserved as protected paint colorings. (Exception orange markers will not be enforced under this rule until 1-01-05)."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This rule change was passed on 8-18-04. The rule will go into effect immediately and be enforced in the upcoming NPPL Las Vegas event.

I'd heard of restrictions in 'uniform' but not equipment, anyone heard of this already or am I way behind?

We wear the orange proto tops now, looks like if this law comes into place we'll have to change them :rolleyes:

I wonder what the Millennium will decide?
