What players are or are not allowed to wear has nothing to do with what officials are or are not allowed to wear.

I was only told that it was a safety issue, much the same as any piece of jewlery that a player might wear. Yes, I know the lanyard is obviously a direct conflict to that ideal, but it is a part of the official's uniform, so we are allowed (and in some cases required) to wear one.

I've worn my wedding ring on the HS court, and taken it off for the NCAA court. That's why I said to check local listings. Snaqs mentioned the rubber band might be a good idea for some local rec leagues, and I've seen that, along with officials wearing watches. It still doesn't look professional, but it may be allowed in some cases.

I will go back and check, but I think I did not see a single official working the tournament have any rubberband or chapstick device to help keep track of the arrow. I wonder why?
