Maybe make such restraining bands a definite part of the "legally equipped to participate" aspect?
I've had 8th grade girls & boys games whose glasses are flopping off when they get slight contact or just due to perspiration. Even had a case where a kid's glasses were stepped on and broken in the paint.
As an official I've come to question the courtesy [if not legitimacy] of halting play to allow them to pickup Rx eyeglasses.

The argument against it is likely safety ("what if someone's hand gets caught in the croakie?").
Also, today is the last day of the Rules Committee meeting.
