Officials Wearing Jewelry During The Games

[Peter Devana]

The rules of the game should apply to the officials on the floor. They can endure the same injuries as the players and jewellry can create the same problems. I have been involved with many associations over 40 years as an official and none of them allowed officials to wear any kind of jewellry- now ,that is not to say some of them did not break the rules and wore their medic alerts and wedding bands but officially it was never allowed and I never saw anyone wear such things at the higher levels of amateur competition.
