1000$ fine to Earl Strickland

OK, but can you repeat that when one of the female players goes muslim and wears a burkah to the TV-table?
Let alone the dress of some Shamans, Hare Krishna's or Buddhists.
The only religion that dresses up to code already are the Mormons I guess. Those young preacherboys in Holland always look sharply dressed in stylish black...
IMO dresscode in IPT is very tight. First thing important: the player has to feel comfortable in his/her clothing, allowing the player to give his/her best.
I'd dress in army trousers and polo...
(Am I glad that my level of play is not even close to IPT round two level)

LOL I just got a funny thought...imagine they are commentating when a lady wearing a burka is shooting.

"Ok, here she goes, she's getting down on the shot. We can't see what she's doing from any angle because her burka is covering half the table, so we'll wait and see. She's up off the shot. Wait... there were four other balls on the table...folks it looks like some object balls got caught in her burka....yes...her opponent the bhuddist monk has called a foul, but has decided to forgive her."

SP,
Actually, it sounds like he's blaming some other players for setting a bad example for him. Too funny. Earl is NOT the picture of contrition - he's still making excuses; he's just not blaming the usual target. Of course, this left-handed, semi-admission of responsibility is still a step in the right direction (the direction of normalcy).

Not to argue, but that is the first time I have heard Earl and normalcy mentioned in the same sentence. Very accurate though.
