we had some situations here too
We had some situations here in Wyoming, not jewelry, but timing issues. They wanted to let JR High players play 7 or 8 minutes instead of the 6 that is in the rule book. We were concerned about the liability issue as well. We contacted the NFHS and were told that we would be covered as long as the sport was a sanctioned sport in our state, even if we used a completely different set of rules, or a set of NFHS rules modified by the "association" we were working with. With that in mind, while I certainly don't want jewelry on the court, I would think the same thing would apply. If the "association" you are working for has different rules, then you are still covered by the NFHS as far as liability goes...I would however think it would be a good idea to have the "rules" and exceptions written down somewhere as opposed to just going case by case gym by gym....
