“a risk of injury to the player, teammates, or opponents…”. Once again, nobody cares about us, the officials. My biggest reason not to allow the Bo Derek beads, is because I don’t want to get whacked in the side of the face. Unless Bo Derek is wearing them.

Bead is not properly secured and falls, unnoticed, to the floor. If someone steps on the bead, slips, and falls, guess who has a 17% (two person) or a 23% (three person) chance of slipping and falling?

I did the math on my trusty Pickett Model N 1010-ES Trig slide rule.

I could go to three significant digits if you would like?

My weapon of choice is the full-size Post Versalog 1460 which I think cost me about $20 in Sep. 1969 when I entered engineering school. I also have a half-size Post Versalog 1460.

When Mark, Jr., graduated from H.S. in May 2008, as a graduation present to send him off engineering school in the Fall I went on eBay and bought him mint condition full-size Post Versalog 1460 including sheath with belt attachment and handbook for $230 not including shipping and handling, LOL!

If you're at risk from a player's headwear, you're too close to the players.
