Some safety rules are not for others. Most hidden jewelry has the ability to puncture. That alone qualifies it as a safetey hazard for the wearer, if not for someone else.

Then does a retainer qualify as a hazard for the wearer. I would argue that could also puncture the wearer and come out and injure a player.

She was a captain and at the captain's meeting, she rolled up her shirt. Maybe she was preparing to tuck it in or something. I don't remember now. But the belly ring was clearly visible.

This is why I spend every summer officiating in the Brazilian Women's Summer League.

As someone who has not reffed in that league, can you elaborate on their uniform rules/standards?

Wouldn't that be their Winter League?

It may, but it is not considered jewelry.

I did not think so, either. Glad we are on the same page.
