Die NPPL hat eine für Spieler einschneidende Regeländerung(oder -verschärfung) vorgenommen: Ab sofort sind pinke und orange Ausrüstungsgegenstände und Spielbekleidung verboten! Pink und Orange dürfen nirgends enthalten sein und sind ausschliesslich für die Füllung von Paintballs erlaubt. Pinke oder orangene Markierer werden noch bis zum 1.1.2005 geduldet und fallen ab diesem Termin ebenfalls unter das Farbverbot.Die Meldung von Camille Baker:Rules Clarification on the color orange in the NPPL 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.The National Professional Paintball League Inc. is a player run organization that sanctions and governs Paintball tournaments and play.

Zu Recht fragen sich die Macher der amerikanischen abc news was eine Sportart bieten muss um eine olympische Disziplin zu werden:Bowling for Medals?There’s a Wide World of Sports That Failed to Make the Olympic CutAug. 20, 2004 — The last time Athens hosted the Olympic games, 245 men competed in nine sports — including the always exciting rope climb and one-handed weight lifting. This year over 10,000 athletes are competing in 37 sports, from badminton to flat water canoeing, and if somehow your favorite game is missing, there is always 2008.Is the world ready for Olympic tango? How about the gripping action of chess? Or the primal struggle that is tug of war, which actually was an Olympic sport early in the 20th century? These are just a few of the 30 „sports“ lobbying for a spot in 2008. What Makes the Cut?But before anyone can water ski or sumo wrestle or mountain unicycle for the gold, federations for these wannabe events must run a marathon of marketing and politics. It's all about convincing the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and just to be recognized, a sport needs participants in 75 nations on 4 continents.However, popularity only goes so far. People love golf and auto racing, but they are expensive and difficult to stage.And people love pairs figure skating, but will they will watch the iceless version that is ballroom dancing? The International Dance Sport Federation hopes so. They've been trying to cut in for years.A little sex appeal never hurts. Synchronized diving and beach volleyball became medal sports after relatively short waits. Meanwhile, bowling has stood in line since the 1970s. Maybe they should wear more lycra. Paintball? Video Games? Who Knows?And then there is the new wave. If shooting is an event, some ask, why not paintball or video games? Don't scoff. Each has been recognized by Australian and Chinese federations, paving the way for future Olympic consideration. Sure, the IOC says it wants to cap the games at the current size, but who knows? By 2012, we may see it all — competitive yoga, pogo, tight rope walking, cow chip tossing or even doughnut eating. Just think of the dream team we could assemble with America's law enforcement.Ferret racing is a crowd favorite, and never underestimate the global appeal of tractor pulls.
