Of course they can. But that does not mean everyone knows how to deal with when confronted with the situation. It is not all about what the rules says it is also about how you can deal with the pressure and knowing your place in all the excitement.

Screw the tournament director! Do you think they are going to admit they told you the kids could play with earrings once the lawsuits start flying? Plain and simple, the guy or girl takes the earrings out or they don't play. If the tournament director wants to avoid the rules, then why do they need the officials? I walk out of the gym at that point. Which is probably why I hate summer ball.
