TIPS
FingerNail Checks
Palms facing you with finger straight. Run your hand over the nails. If you feel the slightest of nail then it is TOO LONG.
EARINGS *MUST* be removed before entering the court even if you have only just got your ears pierced. The only bracelet that can be worn on the court is a "Medical Alert" bracelet and it *MUST* be tapped up.
Please remember that the purpose of these rules is for the "PLAYERS SAFETY" not because the "UMPIRES" like sending people off the courts.
