The ironic thing is I can have a cast from my shoulder down to top of my elbow and cover it with pading and be legal yet a 2" wide cloth non abrasive band worn above my elbow to prevent sweat from getting in the elbow crease which bothers my shot is illegal. If fact it is of such a major concern that it is a point of emphasis.

Its black and white but as for logic: go figure.
