Observing the Handshake

[Mark Dexter]

From the website:

#5. If for any reason you have a concern that monitoring the hand shake may be an issue and you feel it would be better to leave the court area, leave the court as you have been previous to the implementation of this initiate. [The form developed for this eventuality must be completed - click http://www.miaa.net/Sportsmanship-Ha...port-Form.pdf]


If "any reason" suffices, then I would just say that my (and my partner's/partners') safety is an issue and we will be following the previous procedure.

Also, doesn't the noun form of "initiate" only apply to fraternity pledges and the like?
