I think it is great to acknowledge the fact that at least he is training or trying to train people in point one.

However, I think it is chicksh$t that your group will let him work during the season but will not consider this person for the playoffs. If his appearance is not appropriate for playoffs then it is not appropriate for regular season either. In other words, he can do the "dirty work" (regular season) for your group with that appearance, but he cannot do the "plush assignment" with that appearance.

If your group comes right out and tells everyone (verbally and in writing) that they can work regular season with a non-uniform or unacceptable personal (and list what is unacceptable) appearance but it will automatically eliminate them from any playoffs, then at least your group is being honest and each individual can decide how they want to handle this.
