Unless your association is an odd one a face mask extension IS a throat protector. Think about it. In FED a catcher with a hockey-style helmet satisfies the throat protector REQUIREMENT with that equipment type. It's only the masks that need a dangler, and then only the "old fashioned" ones that have no throat protection.
The rules require the throat be protected, they do not require a $4 piece of plastic as the only way to do so.
