Per case price. Each game day expect 1-1.5 cases per player.

Reno Indoor Paintball is our local regional field. They are still weighing their options for the venue for the combine but this past year it was done at RIP.

Good luck with your new adventure in adult life mang.

Paintboss - In the past few years, the combine has started between 8 and 9 am. That means signed in and starting your testing by then. Expect to arrive between 7 and 9. More specific times will become available soon.

Alright thanks!

Ok, so in the 2012 season of NPL, myself came up with an idea of "passing the flag" which I did in this video But I never knew if it was "legal" or would have caused a penalty. Is there any rule stating that it is possible to do this or not?

[ironpanther]

Lane821 - There is nothing in the rules to prevent that kind of a maneuver. The only things that would go into effect would be
A) the 20 second flag abandonment clock would kick in until the flag was recovered by the player that you passed to(if that player didn't pickup and place the flag on their barrel within that time, a sideout would be called.)
B) IF the flag were within the redzone OR on the defense's side of the field, you make an opportunity(however slim) for the defense to take flag possession and stop the clock just like any other dropped flag within their limits of play(Defense's far redzone line).
C) IF the flag traveled backward across the 45s line, backfield rules would kick in and create an automatic sideout.

Does that clarify things for you? Really, it is treated just like any other downed flag until repossessed by a player. The nit picking would possibly arise in the area of what constitutes repossession and that is stated as "flag in the hand of the player making it's way reasonably quickly to being replaced on the barrel." Thus if you tossed the flag on to a player, it would not be considered in possession UNTIL the player had it in their hand or on their barrel.

I just never knew if it would be considered as me saying I'm out and "playing on"
And yeah, I talked to my team mate about it before hand and he just stared at me awkwardly and said "ok" then shrugged his shoulders. lol. Then after the game he was like "wow1 I can't believe that worked!"
Hopefully others can pick up on this idea of "passing the flag" and it could be some good game changers in the future.

We love the creative aspect of the game where you can actually see players doing something new on game day.

[wardriver19]

Only 11 days left till combine, come out this Sunday (2/10/13) for one last day of play before it happens.

[kodaballer]

Combine registration will open at 8 am and close at 9 am.

Arrive between 7:30a and 8:30a. We are running a tight schedule this year so when 9am rolls around, I will finish the registration I am working on and that will be the end of registration. It will behoove everyone to arrive on time.

[hiloboy33]

Is there a way to become a free agent. Missed the combine since I was out of state.

[wardriver19]

Come by RIP and sign up with Larry, he will get you passed straight onto a team. The sooner the better, teams are already planning practices.

[hiloboy33]

Thank you wardriver19

[RIP2010]

With the Combine and Draft in the history books, if you want to Walk-on to a team, you need to stop by Reno Indoor Paintball to pay your league fee and be assigned a team.

Once on a team, RIP will give you a season pass to practice and play (except game days) through August.
