ok during the captains meeting they said no stickers on the top of your hopper there in the front....... yet during one of my team's games one of my teammates got called out because he had a sticker un the front underside of his hopper... like really low too, and the ref called him out. Was that fair?

Not to sure about that but if I were you I would asume no stickers on the front of the hopper all together... Because I think they pretty much go by NPPL rules... And according to NPPL you can only have two stickers on your hopper one on each side..
And they are only to be black and white stickers about 2" by 4" long... Even though they really don't enforce the rule...

Just my thoughts.. I would just asume no stickers except on the sides and you should be OK....

Too bad since there were dozens of ppl running around w/ stickers all over their hoppers... That must have sucked

yea the only reason why i'm saying sumthing is because we played a man down and almost had the game if we woul have had another man we would have easily taken the game... .this makes me mad because with another 90 points we would have made the finals

that really does suck bro cause everybody there had stickers on their hoppers...I would just advise your team to lose the stickers all together...eliminate the chance of a bad call.

Rule 1.1H in the Rule Book

H. Loaders are only permitted to have 2 stickers per side. Sticker are not permitted on the front of the loader but are permitted on the lids if such stickers is for team codes. Any stickers that are installed on a loader that may be deemed by a field judge as a pattern that is hard to identify between the sticker and paint marked on the loader will be removed.

i palyed like 4 or 5 games against people with hoppers covered by stickers, but didnt want to make a big fuss by saying something..........must be an optional rule for the head refs

Why can't you have as many stickers as you want on your hopper?? What do stickers have to do with anything??

The reason for this is because a lot of stikers make a hit harder to see.

actually when you have stickers you can wipe easily without a trace of paint.

So...you can put a sticker on your hopper lid if you tell the ref its a team code?

CyndiP-GPI · 08-29-2003, 10:06 AM

The sticker has to be a list of Team Codes in order for it to pass as a team code sticker. Not just any old sticker will do.

Sorry...

what about a traumahead sportz sticker.... it meets nppl regulation and its on the lid... its black, white and red #1.22 or whatever it is.,,?

bbarno · 09-03-2003, 05:15 PM

tramahead stickers are acceptable as long as they are on the side of the loader
