Are you directing this to me or Bob?

I already stated that the interpretation was ambigous. One sentence says you can't wear anything (Medical or Compression) sleeve extented below the elbow and the other one says you can., ""provided it is not white or gray or have white/gray on it."

Somehow Bob interprets that as "The last clause ("provided it does not extend below the elbow") is meant to apply only to the previous clause ("including one that is white or gray"), which i am not saying is wrong but, I can more readily accept it , if I knew it to be true.

Again, our area enforced this as no Medical or Compression sleeve can be worn that extends below the elbow. Uniform sleeves are in conformance with their applicable rule application.
