I'm not sure if I was misunderstood here, but I was indeed supporting the position of not allowing clear mouthpieces. I was merely providing supporting evidence that says they aren't a medical/orthodontic requirement nor should it be that big an issue since these kids typically have a face mask to protect their mouth. Are kids going to get bloddy lips every now and then...sure, but even kids without braces can have these issues.
