David, pre-wrap is not a continuous, never-ending band. It has ends, same as a bandana. That's one of the reasons it's illegal under FED rules.

JR,
you know those thicker "rubber bands" that they join with some sort of connecting type clasp? Those were not continuous until they were connected. I guess that's how I was considering the wrap. It was now joined to form a "band". But, I do see your point, esp. how it might compare to the bandana--other than it being much thinner in width and looking very much like a large rubber band.
I did about 30% of my games on the girl side this year and I believe in all of those, at least one girl (and in most games, multiple players)wore the--in question--prewrap, and not one of my partners or I even discussed the legallity of it. They played on. Something may have been decided at our assoc. level but I am not aware of it. I'll have to check on it.
