shirts

[bbman]

Worked with a fellow ref the other day. At the pregame he made the following comments:
1. Ok girls, shirts- must all be tucked in or all left out (referring to the entire team).
2. If during the game he sees midrif, he's going to issue a yellow card.
3. At the start of match, only the 6 starters are allowed to assemble on the back line, then approach the net on whistle to shake hands.

#3 sounds correct, but I never thought of it.

Thanks in advance

Sounds a wee bit over-officious to me.

IMO, that official would win the the O.O.O. award for the day!

What ruleset were you using? USAV? Did you talk about it post-match? I'd like to hear the rationale for requiring all jerseys to be worn the same way. I would definitely question my partner about issuing a card if a player's midriff is exposed.

He caught me off guard. I like working with different refs. Learn something new all the time. But I am still looking for answer(s) to my 3 questions. Is there any rule to support his comments?
NFHS rules.

1) 4-2-1b. Some might interpret "worn as intended" as meaning tucked in (or not). And, some might also take it as if they are the same uniform, then one or the other applies.

2) 4.2.1c -- says "when standing"

3) Mechanics, "Starting the Match" (page 71 in 22-23 book) indicates "players" at the end line
