We were told that anything with the neoprene material should be considered "medical" and a note was not necessary. Kind of like the Allen Iverson sleeves that were shown in the PowerPoint or the S & I Rulebook.

We were also told that the bicep bands did not fit the regulations of the sweatbands because they were not sweatbands. So they could be any color.

I wish they had put those two rulings in the interpretations, but they did not. But it was discussed at the IHSA Rules Meetings so many could hear. But I see these as what was said at one meeting might not have been said at another meeting.
