If an umpire suspects that a player is covering up jewelry (e.g., placing tape over earrings), the following procedure must be followed:
• In the presence of the head coach, ask the player if she covered up jewelry.
• If the player states that she does have jewelry on, she must remove it before she is eligible to play.
• If the player states that she does not have jewelry on, accept her statement as truthful.
• If you later discovered during the game that the player was wearing jewelry, the player and head coach will be subject to penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Knowingly violating a safety rule and deliberately attempting to cover it up is unsportsmanlike. It poses a risk to both that player and others.
