Question about unwritten rule #2341-b

[mu4scott]

Was recently married and have a question about wedding rings. I was at a camp this summer and an evaluator said that you should not wear them while officiating.

If the kids can’t wear jewelry I don’t think we should either.

What's your question?

This is a regional thing. If you're working for someone (an assignor) who doesn't like them, take it off. I've never taken mine off for a game, but I wouldn't put up much of a fight if asked to.

It ain't a hill worth dying on.

I have had assignors tell me that a wedding band is the only piece of jewelry we can wear. Jewelry is a safety issue, especially with players and contact. Officials are not involved in any of that type of contact, so it is not as big a deal. However, if one of my supervisors changed their mind and told me I cannot wear it, I won't.

Remember unwritten rule #2341-a: Do what you assignor tells you.

Agree, with the understanding that medic alert bracelets and religious items should also be OK for officials to wear.....under the same conditions as players.

You wouldn't have worked for him anyway, too many, um, "conditions."
