Just trying to reconcile this (3.5 Sit. A): "First, any equipment which, in the judgment of the referee, is dangerous to others. In this respect, elbow, wrist, hand, finger or forearm guards, casts or braces made of hard and unyielding leather, plaster, plastic, metal or any other hard substance shall always be declared illegal "even though covered with soft padding."

with this: " Knee and ankle braces which are unaltered from the manufacturer's original design are permitted and do not require any additional padding/covering."
The standard is different for a knee brace than it is for a brace worn on the hand or arm, for an obvious reason.
