1. I think stickers are ok on loaders, not 100% sure tho

2. NO clear loaders allowed next season. Smoke and clear-tints are ok tho.

3. You'd probably get away with a bandana and a headband so long as only ONE layer has neoprene (like the BK headbands). The PA are recommending HARD head protection for 2005 season tho, possibly because a lot more close up & personal play is expected with the addition of extra bunkers on the 7-man fields.

Certain stickers

I know certain sticker colours are not allowed. They made me take of the pink piggy ones I had on the side of my hopper :(

Headbands/bandanas are ok, as long as it is not half a dozon of 'em, although rumour has it that hard headgear may be manditory at most events in 2006! Bit of a way off, but a big change if it happens.

Rules on stickers are in section 16 of the rulebook. Basically, you're allowed them on the side of hoppers, but not on the front and the judges have the power to ask you to remove any stickers they feel will interfere with their job.
