Eye black strips

[BIG UMP]

Canned Heat,

I understand what you are saying but you have no rule support. If the kid or coach objects you can't push it. NCAA has the rule support but no rule support by NF

1) There's plenty of rule support, if I'm wearing the WH. Anything not covered directly in the rules...judged on by the Referee's discretion.

2) Once again....let's use some common sense. If it's something biblical or for a good cause...no one's got too much of an issue with it, I'm sure. If there's ANYTHING not sporting about it, or with colorful language or demeaning to the opponent, you can bet your game check it's not going to be allowed in my game.

Team A Captain comes to the coin toss wearing black eye strips with the words "Miller" on one eye and "Lite" on the other...

Your ruling?

See Case 1.5.3.COMMENT
Examples of illegal equipment... 2) Eye shade that is not solid black or has words, numbers, logos, or other symbols within the eye-black.

So, by NFHS it is illegal to have black strips with messages.

That would be calling something based on a casebook comment, is that allowed????

Wasn't there a miller and a lite in the bible?

Yes. That's where the RULE 1.5.3 part pertains....

Case book does some wonders on clarifying issues every now and again.

Now...last week we had a kid with an all white towel at homecoming and he used a Sharpie to write his number on it....What Call?

Similar situation in a game 3 weeks ago. We asked the player to refold towel so that number didn't show.

Great....good to see we have the proof-read police on board. Thanks all.

Almost every brand I've seen of eye black strips has the company's name across it. I'll stop there....

Casebook references are allowed to over rule a misaplication of rules under our protest procedure,so I would use it to enforce a rule. This is for Mo.

[Reffing Rev.]

The Nebraska School Activities Association just email blasted officials here saying that eye-black which contains the teams name or nickname is permitted, but no other messages or symbols is to be permitted.

Great...now I have to police eye black...what is next?

BTW you are about to get a beatdown for confusing dots with dashes, I bet!
