I have a net measuring chain that has a distinct color change from women's to men's heights. I never remove the extension for the men's net height since it all the beads are black from the connector to the end of the chain. All the rest of the beads in the women's length are pink, green, yellow...i.e., multi-colored.

As for verifying the length, when I first got it, I measured both heights on the chain using a tape measure so that I knew if the indicators were correct or not (and they were both correct).

However, if you want to go hi-tech, there is an electronic laser net measuring device that is available from most officials' suppliers.
