Worked an ASA 16U/18U college showcase last weekend. Were told that all jewelry had to be removed. This presented a problem, as any unsigned player was wearing a colored wristband, designating school year. Made it easy for college scouts/coaches. But of course, there were some umpires who were trying to have ball players remove these bands as they were "jewelry." Glad it got resolved before it got ugly.

Had the same thing happen here a couple of weeks ago. Even after being told the purpose of the wristband, there was an umpire who still wanted it removed. Don't think he'll be back next year.

BTW, Serg, when am I going to see Tidewater's check for the umpire's tournament
