Both B and C.

I'll go with some form of 'B'.

However I'm not doing 'C'. I'm not going a HC to tell him/her that "an opponent thinks your player has a tongue ring in."

I go with B, as well.

The only time I used C was when I noticed a girl during warmups with a navel-piercing. I told the coach she couldn't play with it in, but that I was making it his responsibility because I obviously was not going to ask her to show me.

Honestly, my reaction would be based on the gender of the player. If it is a male, I would ask the player if they have a stud in their tongue. If the student is female, I would ask the coach to address the potential problem or at least have the coach present when I ask.

I didn't realize anyone did pre game uniform checks in women's games. I thought that was more of a football thing.

What? In the bikini league? How did you notice a players navel bling?

If alerted during warm ups: I would pay attention to see if I notice the jewelry. If I do not notice anything out the ordinary, I will deal with the situation when the jewelry is discovered.

If alerted during the game: I will wait until I see something that gives me a reasonable suspicion that the player has jewelry.

Do you treat blood in the same manner?

Actually had blood in tonight's game. The opposing coach informed me that a kid had a bloody nose. I halted the game instantly to have the problem remedied.

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.
