Add this to the list of reasons pool will never make it big. Face it, left to their own devices people would show up looking like slobs. I'm all for dress codes in tournaments.

typical elitist, pretentious, intellectualist approach to managing an organization...
Everybody always wants to put their fingerprints on everything. Rarely do you hear anybody say "I can not improve on whats been done before me"...
Human arrogance is what drives micromanaging...
Who watches pool on TV anymore? If the WPBA really wants to secure a future on TV they need to dress down the women, not put them in business suits pretending sophistication is what we strive for and pool is just the vehicle to present it to us...
Always funny to see people projecting image... I just run balls...

I'd love to see someone show up for the tournament dressed like that ... with the bright and colorful full golf outfit, including the hat with the fuzzy ball on top.
As long as it wasn't 100% cotton, it should be allowed!Exactly! Now you've found something worth complaining about. That is BS.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you are referring to the incident that caused Jean to quit playing the WPBA, then the fine was for some remark she made on TV to or about Robin Bell (Dodson). It was not a fine for a dress code violation.
i was just pointing out that it states "no white t-shirts", "no %100 cotton", and "no graphic T's"... i was just being an ass by saying that its not well worded.
First most of the touring pro's get clothes sponsors who pay them to wear their golf apparel.Second their is a dress code on the PGA and NO you can't wear shorts. Most of the golf clothes they wear are alot more expensive than what you are probably wearing i.e $100 shirts $200 pants etc.
What I don't get is the 3C players are all professionally dressed in white shirt bow tie and vest. I just watched Efren play a match on Utube and he was dressed in shirt and tie.We need to clean up the dress before people start to think of you as professional.Just my opinion
For me, the point is, I want to watch good pool. I could give a rat's ass what they're dressed like. If I want to look at clothes, I'll go to a friggin' fashion show!
I really don't see the need for ANY dress code, of ANY kind. Just shoot pool for Christ's sake. :bash:

It would be quite funny to go back and look into Paul Schofields thread about the dress code at his place, and see how many folks applauding and supporting him. Then come back and see some of those same folks here bashing the Women's Professional Tour THAT IS ON TV for having a dress code. I'm not gonna bother to look, but I'm thinking there just might be a few examples...
Personally, I realize it looks silly, spelled out. Someone else pointed out that they have to spell it out because if you don't you will have those who will push the boundaries and test the enforcement. This is the absolute truth. They are attempting to control how they project their image, as a tour. Since they are marketing their product, they not only have the right, but the responsibility to do so. The discussion of how successful their leadership is or isn't is a whole other argument, unless you truly believe this dress code is causing some issue with their success/lack thereof.
Look, I don't get the 100% cotton argument either. I'm simply not gonna make a big deal about it. Someone involved probably knows the reason, and there certainly must have been one to spell it out like that.

That one was a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct, this was for not complying with the dress code. She didn't wear an evening gown when she played.
