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.

So if the opposing coach alerted you to a player wearing jewelry would you "[halt] the game instantly to have the problem remedied?"

Nope. Blood warrants the stoppage. A player wearing a tongue stud does not take priority in my view.

Ah, therein lies the problem.

Why are both rules in place?

So, you're going to stop play and deal with the tongue stud as soon as you are alerted?

I'm asking YOU why you aren't handling both situations in the same manner. Both are covered by rules regarding something on a player which prohibits that individual from participating due to safety issues.

Easy,
I will penalize once discovered. During the coaches meeting when I ask them(coaches) if their team is properly equipment and they verify and say yes. This include tongue stud. Shoot two ball division line opposite table. I know some will not agree but it is what it is.

Easy yourself.
Illegal equipment does not warrant a technical foul.

There is absolutely no rules support for issuing one.

Your right, just checking the pulse of the forum. Since Rut did a state Playoff game in Football.
