Player Classification:
An Open Class player is one who has more
then one year tournament paintball experience or has played 5 tournaments or
more. A Rookie player has less then 1-year experience, having never played an
event or less then 5 events.
As we do not have a player classification,
system players will be judged by a jury of peers. Discrepancies must be brought
to the NOPL by the team captain ONLY.
Team Classification:
NOPL events separate teams into two
divisions: Open Class and Rookie Class. A Rookie 5-player team may have one
Open player on their roster.
Rosters:
A player may not be on more than one roster per event, and a player cannot change
rosters during an event. Reserve players should be left off rosters until they
are needed. Players may be added to a team’s roster at any time during an event
as long as the added player(s) reports to the NOPL staff at the scoring table
before participating in a game. 5-player teams may only have 7 players on a
roster.
Rosters and waivers must be filled out
(legibly and completely) and handed in to NOPL staff at the scoring table
before playing your first game. Failure to turn in or update your roster and
waivers will result in zero points for all games played before the roster and
waivers are corrected or turned in to NOPL staff.
