Umpire Tips

FINGERNAILS - Check fingernails palms facing you with finger straight. Run your hand over the nails. If you feel the slightest of nail then it is too long.

EARRINGS - Earrings must be removed , taping earrings is not permitted.

BRACELETS - 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.
