PLI Protocols
The Paintball Light Infantry Battalion Protocols is a system whereby small groups of PLI units may function under the umbrella organization and name of the PLI at events not "officially" attended by the entire membership. Numerous local fields host scenario games throughout the year. The PLI will generally not be able to attend any but the largest games and events that the unit hosts, but recognizes that small groups of PLI units may wish to participate in these smaller scale scenario games. Since the PLI stands for initiative and leadership, we certainly want to encourage this participation. Additionally, the PLI will benefit in the long run from those PLI units practicing the tactics and communications together. The PLI Protocols are the Mission, Goals, Rules of Engagement, and Philosophy of the PLI. Local units who wish to attend events representing the PLI need only notify PLI HQ of that intent. This allows PLI HQ to be aware of the event, publish the unit(s) intent for other PLI units to know and join them, and support the local unit as much as possible. The units will be expected to exhibit the strict standards of behavior demanded of PLI members at official PLI events. Further they must strive to use the tactics and standardization of the PLI and are encouraged to use the Company Event Matrix for those local PLI units that wish to participate. The following list of mandatory protocols must be in effect for the local units to represent the PLI. Suggested protocols should also be used. In the event a local team assumes a leadership role, they would naturally be allowed to assume the command position. The Command Rotation of the By Laws is only for those events that the PLI attends as a unit (generally national level events), not local events planned by your team. Mandatory Protocols: 1. Mission 2. Goals 3. Rules of Engagement 4. Zero Tolerance Policy 5. PLI By Laws and General Orders Suggested Protocols: 1. Company Event Matrix 2. PLI Uniform 3. PLI Squad, Platoon, and Company Tactics 4. PLI Communications Local PLI team should endeavor to follow all PLI procedures as possible. They must remember that the ENTIRE PLI will be judges on their actions and should act accordingly. Violations of the By-Laws should be reported to PLI HQ immediately. The PLI assumes no responsibility for damages of units operating under the PLI Protocols as outlines in the PLI Waiver of Liability. |
