Hmmm ... sounds like Mr. C might have gotten away with a rules violation ... again. As a personal prop, when it was hit by a paintball, it should have counted as a hit to the person ... ergo, he would have been eliminated ...

But in order for it to count as a hit the paintball has to break. That umbrella had been hit more than 500 times from what I was told by the other team, I could only count 4 maybe 5 balls that actually broke. That umbrella is dang near invincible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However the rules DO state that any prop must be inspected and passed by the field prior to use.

Regardless of status as a prop, anything you are holding counts as equipment.
If you are holding it and it is marked with a paintball, you are out.
It would be nice if the Coyote could clarify on this.
But either way...I wish I could have been there to see that.

Farva, it is true that it is regarded as "equipment". regardless of the fact that it is a game prop or personal prop that if there is a break on it you would be called out (although there werent very many on it). Also stated by Aldva though that personal props including umbrellas must be approved by the game director before use as stated (umbrellas specifically) in the GSRP. -William-

The umbrella was intended to keep Corndog dry when it was originally brought onto the field...about 20 minutes into it being there a red player made a really good move and started pushing on me and one other gunner. At that time I simply put the thing behind me and ran like a little girl.lol After getting away from the fire Duct Tape made his way over inspected me and the umbrella and determined that nothing broke therefore he left me being live. He got a good laugh at of it too.
As for final battle...Slacker was the one that was using the umbrella to try and make pushes to the tower...but after being told he couldn't use it passively turned it over and I began using it to block the drizzle again. Sadly enough in his meatshield mode...Slacker was able to get more people into the tower using only his body than he did with the umbrella. So all in all it was a good laugh but yet even without it the same objective got completed.
As for the idea that it was a prop...in the rules it says the "prop" is intended to be sold or traded...I had no intention on allowing the other team to have or even think about getting that umbrella it was merely a piece of equipment keeping the rain off of my head and anyone else that may be under it...unfortunitely there weren't that many females at the event for me to pull one under with me.lol
