couple oýf questions about portugal

[canpap]

may some of these sujects belong to the tech room, but who cares anyway its the millennium series...


1- Is trigger guard (angel )an obligation in the tourney??

2- what is the maximum lifetime allowed for the high pressure tanks we carry?

3- I know they have changed the dead man zone area from last years. before, it was behind the starting marks where neither dead man nor active players coudl not see each other or the opponnements.

so with this new cage thing, who sees who? can we count the oppositons dead man??

4- how many AMs Pros and Novices attending and how many goes to semis in AM class this year??

5- Is there going to be a nations cup? when?


Thnks and see you hopefully in Lisbon. we'll kick some ass!!!!!

Here we go:

1, Trigger guard are mandatory in the Millenium Rules for all markers

2, I believe its 3yrs for Kevlar wrapped bottles and 2yrs for alluminium bottles

3, This year they have a netted tent in the back corner of each end and dead players can watch (guns must be left outside this tent in the marked out area) and yes, you can count the dead-box

4, There are 19AMs and 8 in the semis I believe, have no idea how many Nov but I am sure Alvaro will post on here in response!

5, Yes I believe the Nations Cup is running and, if I remeber rightly from last year, the qualifiying rounds were Saturday after the other games and the finals were between the semis and finals on Monday.

Hope that helps

Correction about tank lifelength

Kevlar is 3 years and alu/steel bottles are 5years.

thanks for the big help... question though!!

are you sure trigger guard is mandatory? I have been using my angel LE for 3 yrs and never have been forced..

is it new for 2002?? our last tourney was toulouse 2001 and they let my gun as it was.

as i heard the rules has never really been enforced, tho there is a risk you are taking if you are playing without it.
I heard they are supposed to be very strict in Nppl about trigger guards.

 

[Beaker]

Henke's right,

It is a rule and they would be perfectly within their right to enforce it if they wanted to. So if you play without one you might get away with it but you can't assume it's OK.

From memory:

if there are up to 20 teams in a bracket it's 8 qualifiers
21 - 30 = 12 qualifiers
31 and over - 16
