C & A

[bigwhistle]

There are rules to worry about, and there are rules in the book that you probably don't want to worry about, especially in a noninterscholatic game (fancy way of saying offseason). The uniform rules would fall under the grouping that you probably don't want to worry too much about. It sounds as if you are a fairly new official. Spend your time learning how to call the game itself instead of concentrating on issues that are not essential to officiating. This is just MHO, and many here may be outraged at saying that not every rule needs to be enforced to the max.
