PLI Member Tier System
PLI Member Tier System Version 4.0 The PLI member tier system is a way of recognizing members for their longevity, leadership ability, service to the organization, knowledge of PLI protocols, and fundamental ability to represent the organization. Tiers are symbols of respect for what the member has accomPLIshed within the organization. They may be used to assign field leadership positions, but are intended to encourage members to want to progress within and represent the PLI by their actions and attitudes. The PLI member tier shall be worn on the PLI Members Jacket. Tiers will be sewn onto the left sleeve (or optionally left and right) of the PLI Member’s jacket beginning 1” above the cuff of the sleeve of the jacket opposite the seam (on single seam jackets) or on the front seam (of double seam sleeves). Tiers will run at a 45 degree angle from the inside of the sleeve to the outside of the sleeve and will be placed so as to be completely visible from the side. Exact positioning will vary depending on the make of the member Jacket. See the example below. . Tiers are available from the PLI STORE. Each progressive tier shall be 1/8” above the previous tier. All member tiers must be earned IN ORDER. Member Tiers: 1st.Tier is awarded to new members.

Team Captains must have achieved second tier status before awarding it to their men. 3rd Tier is awarded by the PLI after a member has displayed their knowledge in the field at a PLI sponsored event on apPLIcation by the member’s BCC Representative. 4th Tier is awarded by an affirmative vote of the BCC after one year membership in the PLI. The 4th Tier is considered above and beyond general membership. To be awarded a fourth tier, the member must be nominated by his Team Captain, BCC Representative, or Detachment Liaison for not only knowledge of PLI Protocols, but for their Honor, Integrity, and their Representation of the PLI, and Paintball in general.
