Can we get this rule straight....on headgear...

[PEBBLE]

hi,... can we finalize a rule so that there is no BS...

at the fed cup , it was raining so i wore my hat over the top of my goggles to stop the rain Dome style...

i got told by a ref im not allowed to wear it, so i took it off and played paintball (kind of) with wet eye brows....

but then i played on a different field and i wore the hat without any BS and no one cared

so can we please decide on a Rule please Rich...?

the ref told me that it can make the paintballs bounce, but if that was the case id be wearing it all the time even when there is no rain

lets be honest , i just want to play painball, without getting checked if im wearing to many socks etc...i just wanna play, and being able to see in the rain is important to me and the visors that come with goggles are **** and dont stop the rain, ive tried everything in the past and i find the dome hat anti rain is the most effective way to see

from what i knew, beanies and hats were allowed? maybe the ref just got it wrong at fed cup?

It's the facial expression and pose I simply can't come to terms with.

But it folds flat for storage...

rich had nothin too do with refs at fed cup only cpps

you can wear a hat if you wish, for the purpose it is intended too on your head

you cant place your hat over the front rim of your goggles this is just simply the rules

you got away with it on another field as them refs simply did not notice or they did not know

yeah but it doesn't say you can't beat a player with a blow up banana either
