Ryan's email yesterday just repeated the 4(?) pictures from the video -- all were pretty obvious, at least to me.

The bar (as from the OP) could be an issue. I have also seen small hoops -- or maybe they were large cuffs -- while the "loop" went from the front of the ear to the back, there was a mm (or so)gap. My rule of thumb -- If I could "flick" the hoop and it would move independently of the ear, it's too loose. (I wouldn't actually try this test during a match, of course.)
