The issue is whether or not string and other bracelets that are not "hard cosmetic" are prohibited. Thoughts?
We can pretty much always assume that rule books are poorly written and poorly edited; even when published by an education based organization.
I think you know the parentheses apply to all items and NFHS allows none of them.
