The MHSAA has adopted the rule and expects it to be enforced (at the varsity level), as evidenced from the rules meetings and some official letters sent to local associations. I can imagine though that there are going to be some associations which may choose to handle such situations on an indvidual basis. I have encountered several situations (prior to the rule) where extenuating circumstances existed (visiting team packs wrong uniforms, etc.) and would expect that these situations will continue to occur occassionaly. I have heard of a few schools which have requested an exemption from the rule due to budget constraints.
