BCAPL Dress Code

Enforcement procedures have changed too...

I posted this in an earlier thread also...sorry for the repetition but I want to make sure everyone has a chance to see it ASAP. Enforcement procedures have changed in a huge way.

This and additional info on the dress code is available in the complete Tournament Regulations at:

http://www.playbca.com/portals/0/2013nc/13tregs.pdf

See Section D. The biggest change in enforcement is that there will no longer be any skating by starting a match out of code and then finishing it without penalty. Also, there will be no skating by claiming "this is all I brought with me" or "I'm not staying at the hotel so I can't change". Ain't gonna cut it.

In a nutshell - violations will now be penalized anytime, even after a match has started. If it can be corrected immediately without leaving the table, the correction will be allowed with no penalty applied. If it can't be corrected immediately: first violation is a one game penalty plus warning, then the match can be finished out of code. The one-game penalty is not applied if the opponent is on the hill, but the warning is still given and the violation is recorded as a first occurrence.

For singles/doubles play he game is immediately added to the opponent's score, and if there is a game under way it is not affected. In team play the game in progress or about to be started is lost.

Second violation in any future match - DQ from the remainder of all 2013 Championship events. That means if you are DQ'd from singles you will also be DQ'd from teams.

Violations will be penalized on sight by any referee, without having been called to the table.

All of the "what-ifs" are answered in Regulation D7. Especially for team captains, it deserves serious study. Every team captain will receive a copy during check-in. Hard copies of the entire document will be available at the Registration Desk.

I find it funny that open toes dress shoes are not permissible for women but bright green crocs are permissible. Please realize that crocs are never ok.
 
I honestly think the problem is, there is a “DRESS CODE”, and it is not anything goes.

Many employers have on the Job Dress Codes & Grooming Code. Disney has some real tight guideline, similar to the old Marine World Africa USA in Vallejo, CA.

Many Restaurants, & Night Clubs have DRESS CODES. Country Clubs have Dress Codes to get in the front door, and all of these place, are place you have a choice to work at, or come to to spend your money.

It is you free choice if you choose to play in the BCAPL thingee in Sin City, but you also know ahead of time there is a Dress Code, and apparently if you are not in compliance you don’t get to play.

I wonder if there would be all this moaning and groaning about what I think is a reasonable Dress,Code if some group off INVESTORS GROUP IN POOL, where giving the BCAPL a Million or couple of Million Bucks to add to the prize fund.

Most professional sports have Travel Dress Code for players, traveling between Cities to play their sports.

Bowling & GOLF both have Dress Code when you play, or bowl.

IMHO the BCAPL Dress Code is reasonable. Like I said I is your choice to play, or spectate, as spectators don’t have to comply with any dress code.
 
Who doesn't like backwards hats? Even MLB allows the players to do this in the Home Run Derby.

The Bill of a Hat was designed for Eye Glare Protection, you need to worry about gett kin Cancer on your Bottom. In the jurassic day of baseball on Catcher work Hat Backwards, to keep their MASK in place.
 
This must be difficult - who wants to get into the minutiae of what a tear or hole is, or how long of a sleeve is long enough. But I think they've got the right idea. The guidelines seem reasonable to me, and I understand the idea of having a (not-overly-strict) dress code for an event like this.

Last year we were playing a matchin teams 8 ball. A referee came over in the middle of our match and got into a heated conversation with a guy on the other team. We didn't know what the hell was going on?
It turns out that he was warned earlier about wearing his hat backwards. The referee was going to disqualify all his games in our match. Until then, nobody on our team even knew about this rule, we were clueless to what the whole ordeal was about.
Anyhoo, when I walked over to ask what the problem was, the guy thought our team called the referee over about the rule. I explained that we didn't even know the rule and asked if the referee would just let him turn his hat the right way and continue play? He allowed it and our team won that match pretty handily.
But, the referee told the guy after our match, there would be no more warnings. If he was caught again, he would forfeit all his matches.

Per Mr. Stock - "Absolutely NOT". No shorts. More in a few minutes...

Edit - thanks SG - that is exactly right. Link to pro player packets at the bottom of the table with the pro event info.

OMG! I had to laugh out loud when I saw the "Styles NOT permissible for
National Championship tournament play".

Pictures are nice, but I can see people having some fun with it :rolleyes:

I noticed that for women, they're allowed to wear "skirts of conservative length." Since this might be open to interpretation, does this mean that Ms. Emily can wear the same miniskirt that she wore at the Amway Cup? :wink:
