Undershirts & 6th Grade...PLAY BALL

No Padding: If there is risk of injury, don't play. If there is not risk, toss it up. I had fellow officials in that situation in a Varsity game. They notified game management of the illegal equipment and informed them they would allow the gorls to play due to the negligible risk and that they would have to make provisions for the boys game prior to it starting. After the girls' game they allotted the game management 1/2 hour to remedy the situation. Upon the 1/2 hour expiration and not padding, they forfeited the boys' game. Remember, you (we) are responsibile for the safety of the players and could possibly be sued if an accident occurs.
