I did about 30% of my games on the girl side this year and I believe in all of those, at least one girl (and in most games, multiple players)wore the--in question--prewrap, and not one of my partners or I even discussed the legallity of it. They played on. Something may have been decided at our assoc. level but I am not aware of it. I'll have to check on it.

David,this is something that our association discussed at the start of the year. It makes it a lot easier on everybody involved if there is a uniform policy set up on things like this for all the officials to follow. It gets rid of the situation where a ballplayer is allowed to wear prewrap one week, and then told that it's illegal the next. Cuts down on a lot of arguing if everybody calls it the same way.

The easiest way is probably just to have your local rules interpreter check on it with the state office. A quick e-mail usually tells you what to do in your particular area. [/B][/QUOTE]

JR,
Out of curiosity, did your assoc. policy meld with Federations? If not, what was the decision?
