Sure the rule has been stated above. FED is clear, have them take it all off, ASA it was a suggestion/interpretation from a highly ranking NUS Supervisor. Of course it is your judgement, and like all other judgement calls they are not able to be appealed, but it was his opinion that only bad things can happen when they are left on, nothing bad can happen when they are removed, why not remove the chance of something bad happening?

Everyone has gone round and round here bottom line is it your judgement in ASA what is dangerous, if you want it gone either it is taken off or they don't play. What is dangerous is up to you but it is also up to you how much you leave yourself open to a discussion if someone does get hurt and "you let them play with that on" granted we always have the I never saw it statement. I think there are more important issues to address than this both on this forum and on the field. If you think it is dangerous have it removed or the player dont play...if you let it go and they get hurt in this sue happy world know you are open to a lawsuit, might not lose in court over it but you could be pulled into court over it, and who wants to miss a chance to umpire a game over some stupid thing like that???
