Question about Tourney apparel requirements..

[Oni Gumo]

Just a quick question regarding tourney wear, specifically the pants. Are you required to wear pants specifically designed for paintball, or can you wear similar pants that offer no more protection, such as nylon ripstop sports pants, or dirtbike pants. Sorry if this is a stupid question, heh. :paperbag:

Small tournaments most likly the will allow any type of pants.

Larger tournaments have guidelines on the clothing you can and cant wear.

Check with the place your playing for rules and regs.

EXAMPLE...

1. Clothing
1.1. A player must wear at least one layer of clothing on the body, arms and legs.
1.2. No part of a player may be covered by more than two layers of clothing.
1.3. Quilting is two layers of clothing stitched over each other. Quilting counts as two layers of clothing in the area that is quilted.
1.4. Any layer of clothing that is thicker than a standard 100% cotton T-shirt is padding.
1.5. Players may not wear extremely oversized clothing. Clothing is oversized if, when tightly gathered about the body or limb with excess clothing pinched together and away from the body, the excess clothing extends more than 6 inches from the body or limb.
1.6. Players may not wear clothing that is made out of highly absorbent or slick material, such as felt, fleece, nylon or rubber.
1.7. Players may wear a hat or cap or headband, except that hats, caps and headbands may not be modified from the manufacturer’s original form, and may not extend more than one inch below the collarbone or below the shoulder blades.
1.8. Players may wear one pair of socks. Socks may not extend higher than below the knee, and must not be of a quilted or padded nature, and count as one layer of clothing.
1.9. Players may wear one pair of footwear. Footwear must not be modified from the manufacturer’s original form and must not include metal cleats or spikes.
1.10. A player who plays with illegal clothing will be assessed a gross penalty.
1.11. Any head judge or the Ultimate judge may prohibit a particular item of clothing. Such action by a head judge may be appealed to the Ultimate Judge.
