In the current Case Book, there are several examples of warnings being issued pre-game. On page 29, 3-3-1g cites just such an application.
Warnings can be issued before the game and infractions involving said cautionary can involve an ejection as a result.
For example, while checking helmets and bats, the umpire sees numerous players wearing prohibited items. At the time, he states that the rules prohibit them from being worn and encourages their removal. That suffices as a warning and following infractions can be dealt with whenever they occur.
Players and coaches involved in Regional playoffs should know the rules too.
