Yes, it would (see NFHS). ASA specifically says EXPOSED jewlery and leaves it to umpire judgment as to whether the jewlery is "dangerous." Taped over is not exposed (technically). I wish ASA would delete the entire rule and leave the issue with parents and coaches where it belongs. If they insist on having a jewlery rule, re-word it so it must be judged dangerous to OTHER players and leave out the one wearing it. Again, that is for parents and coaches (and players when old enough).
