In the Ottawa region and as far as Montreal.. several players make their own grenades for use on the field. There are various ways but most involve a paper/cardboard shell, some sort of bastardized pyrotechnic and bb's/dried peas etc. From my experience, the whole thing is pretty unregulated and I'm curious to see what rules everyone else has.

For our area, the only real rules are that you must call out "Grenade!" before you throw one. If it lands withing 5 feet, you're supposed to call yourself out (which rarely happens)

I personally don't agree with calling it out before you throw one. Most grenades are no louder than a firecracker and cannot damage hearing. Yelling grenade before throwing one, is the same as yelling from across the field that you're going to shoot at someone before you do. I like to use mine as a surprise tactic/flashbang, throw it in the room and charge in shooting after it goes off.

How do you guys feel about it?
