I'm not moaning I'm just curious...
Played a tourney at the weekend(no prizes for guessing :p...) and it was fabulous.
We'd played most of our games with a few (2 or 3) left to play when the marshalls asked us to remove our hoodies we did it but why did they ask? Is it a rule or is it likely that teams complained,no biggy just wondering:confused:.
We'll be sorted for the next time anyway...just to top it off 2 of our team were wearing legal "bounce" vests(poofs)...:eek:
I've never considered padding/protection the hoodies that we wear are also worn at walk-ons dependant on the weather,sorry if it caused an issue...:eek:
Like I said a fantastic day still...:D
