A must read - PA rule change for the 2005 season

[Russell Smith]

"Rule Change for 2005 Season



Following discussions with senior Paintball Association Referees, tournament event organisers and paintball gun manufacturers, the Paintball Association is currently in consultation with the Home Office via the UKPSF regarding a major rule change for the 2005 season. Subject to confirmation, the Paintball Association is proposing the following rule:



Markers will be allowed to fire at a rate of up to 15 balls per second utilising assisted modes of fire. This includes:



Response or reactive triggers

Rebounding triggers (also referred to as trigger bounce)

Software selectable modes, specifically ramping rates of fire and turbo modes



The rate of fire will be capped at 15 balls per second. In effect, this means that bouncing triggers and ramping rates of fire will no longer be penalised.



Full auto and ramping velocity will not permitted under any circumstances.

Fair play for the investment on that.

The robot is now in the bin because we don't require it now.
But we do have the means to check the markers on the field (rate of fire -not fps) with out even taking your marker of you.

Link fixed.
