I like the new rule, though we are aware there might be a time lag between issuance and compliance. We're waiting to hear what our state suggests on this. I and our crews will do what they say.
Early speculation by some has yielded the following guesses:
If the scorer isn't wearing a striped shirt . . .
1) Don't worry about it...
2) Mention the rule to the AD and/or your assigner and/or the state and get on with things...
3) Carry an extra shirt in your bag and give it to them to wear...
Like many things, that which is new takes a while to catch on.

4. Replace the scorer with an individual who will wear the required shirt.
