I got dinged for allowing F4 to wear a non-uniform head band at a national tournament a couple of years ago. It was hotter'n blazes with temp = humidity and I let it go.

I hate being the fashion police, but I did choose to ignore this infraction for practical reasons. Still, the evaluator didn't like it.

A much simpler solution than hounding players about tucking shirts in is to consider it a component in avoiding the pitch. If the batter does not have the shirt tucked in when it is required to be tucked in, and she gets hit in the shirt by a pitch, then she did not make the effort required to avoid. Simple. And, I don't have to be the arbiter of whether the uniform is being worn as designed.
