Sloppy Summer Leagues

[JeffRef]

In my province the referees can be held responsible for injuries to players. If we allow them to play under unsafe conditions or with jewelry etc. and something goes wrong, we put ourselves at risk. We have insurance, of course, but who needs all the hassles.

I use the same approach as dblref and do not allow a player wearing jewelry to enter the court. You'll never change the player's opinion, but the reasoning above is normally good enough to get the coach on your side.
