I got into a discussion with some officals regarding women playing the game with their hair too long. To my surprise there were several guys that were not aware that there are provision in rules that require an intrepretation from the official when this occurs. I believe it is Rule 3, Section 7 which talks about the official making a decision regarding this matter.
The reason why I am asking is because, I was at a game last weekend and there were at least three young ladies that had hair down in the middle of their back. I ask the official at half time, why they allowed them to play and it was stated, they were not aware of any rule applying to the length of hair.
Could someone give me a clarification on how this rule should be applied.

That rule only says "...items such as a player's...hair style may constitute a safety concern." Length isn't specifically mentioned.

Wearing the hair long is a hairstyle.
