Just a reminder on the proper semantics. Your approach should be to not allow participation because of wearing jewelry, not dictating that the jewelry must be removed. Pay close attention to the difference.

Earrings under tape can just as easily result in shredded earlobe and extensive corrective plastic surgery.

Forgot the clever adlib that was suggested in response to the classic complaint "The last set of refs said it was okay". Can someone recall?
