So you've been expanding that section of the rules to be specific and unambiguous?
Thats good, I'm with Steve on the situation with rules at the moment, there is too much unclear, ambiguous or just ignored rules. Will you post here again when the update is released?

Will do.

Hey Steve,
How can these rules issues irritate you as a player.
Heard you never make your primary bunker without getting covered in paint anyway...

While I'm at it, also heard that, like a lot of players, you lost your voice in Miami.
Was that from screaming :
'I'M HIT, I'M HIT, STOP!'
at the top of your voice in every game....

Thanks
I'm here all week!

But didnt that rule exist ni the NPPL and MS last year? Yet there were still teams with those colours on their kit.

if it is actually enforced this year, then damn, Ton Ton are gonna be pissed!

Hehehe Yes I'm small, young and fast. Not old, big and slow

Back to the topic: Yes, you are right about the layer thing. I remember a team that did sew in flis-fabric in there jerseys.
But why ignore the padding issue. That is what is wrong on todays jerseys. And you know that the padding on the shoulder is just for the bounce.

At tha risk of sounding like Robo...

Steve, the implementation of rules is only credible if those rules are both reasonable, rigorous and non ambiguous.
What's the point of banning padding if the rule book does not specify thicknesses of single layers?
It could well be that a company brings out a single layered jersey that is half inch thick.
This eventuality does not attract the designate of 'padding'and therefore would be allowed under current NPPL rules as far as I know.
The limits have to be specific and unambiguous with those limits being derived from a reasonable and fair rationale.
It's no good just slapping an arbitary ban on something without doing the necessary groundwork, it just makes no sense especially if we are trying to be professional about how we conduct our business.
I think common sense has to prevail somewhere along the line and hopefully it will soon enough, some time today I would think


Ignoring - or trying to find a sensible, balanced way to create a rule?

I may be big, old and relatively slow but I do read stuff (or try to) before I open my mouth, now, do as I suggested and go back and READ my previous post which outlines exactly why the issue ISN'T being ignored.
I see TJ has already pointed this out anyway.

DRHP, your name would serve you better and definitelty be more appropriate if you dropped the 'H' and inserted the next letter of the alphabet as a replacement !

Now, go back to bed and let the grown ups debate.

Yes true. But hope not that "sensible, balanced" just is = Robbos way.

 

[TJ Lambini]

IIRC, Robo doesn't own tha NPPL, he is merely on the rules committee.

I ain't ever met tha guy, but i get the impression that ged green ain't tha sort of person anyone tells what to do, so i kinda doubt robo is tha main man in this process.
