I just received in my email the following:

On Friday, November 11, 2005, the International Pool Tour will announce the offcial dress code for players and player members of the IPT. The dress code will address player attire both on and off the tournament tables. The dress code will also address the display of sponsor logos on player attire.
 
I must admit I'm dissappointed that it has taken this long to address the issue of sponsorship logos on clothing. I have potential sponsors and I need to tell them what I can give them in return for support.

Now the time line is pretty short to finalize these deals and get the designs and clothing done according to required specifications.

Still waiting on that email....
 
So they announced that they're going to announce the dress code, but then they didn't. That's kinda weird...

Just read the new dress code. No real shock, except the guys have to wear button down shirts and formal wear is encouraged...at the least a sport coat. When playing, men can remove their coat and tie, and roll up their sleeves. Individuality is encouraged, but everyone must be neatly groomed. Women can wear open-toed dressy shoes - yay! No short sleeves for men, emailing Deno to find out about the women. Turtlenecks ok for both.

3 embroidered logos max. They are suggesting putting logos on cue cases, and when playing on tv tables, they will try to feature the logos on the cases.

About the long sleeves...it's easy- it looks really nice. I played 3-cushion for ten years in a tuxedo with French cuffs, not rolling up the sleeves, most of the time in a vest and bow tie. I was never uncomfortable. Ceulemans, Caudron, and all the greats of carom and snooker wear formal wear and play jam up. If you get hot, and probably sweaty as a result, the trick is to wear a good cotton undershirt. It is counter intuitive to wear more clothing, but it actually makes one more comfortable.

The recent International Challenge of Champions required a strict dress code to the players. They then provided the same sweater to go over the shirts, and everyone looked "fine and dandy."

3. Dress code for the tournament is navy blue dress slacks, navy blue long-sleeved shirt, and black dress shoes or loafers. You will be provided with a special Challenge of Champions sweater to wear over your shirt.

I don't see anything wrong with the current dress code. Maybe the "rolling-up of sleeves" should be a little more specific. Possibly folding the cup of the sleeve "inside" instead of outside.

Deno, I can understand that you may be comfortable in the long sleeves, but not everyone is.

I really have to question the decision to require the long sleeve shirts, but you allow the player to roll up the sleeves. IMHO, a player with a short sleeve shirt, looks a lot neater than a player with long sleeves rolled up.
Rolled up sleaves look sloppy, period.
 
I have to say that I agree with this dress code. I am used to seeing snooker players wearing formal attire and you can't imagine the bing hoo-ha that went on when they were allowed to play without a bowtie or a waistcoat on for some of the tournaments.

As for the sleeves being rolled up, yes - like it. Yes, Rich, it can look sloppy but it just depends how it is done. I, personally, wear long sleeve shirts with the sleeves rolled up halfway up my forearm (a throwback to me performing magic) but I normally just roll them up and that's it, but if done with care (as when I am performing magic) then it can look as smart as the rest of the suit I am wearing. Time has to be taken over these sorts of things.

In my opinion, it will give the players a sort of "I'm here to work" look about them. Just don't do it with your jacket on, it makes you look like an extra out of "Miami Vice" ;)

I agree Pete. I think it's a good look when you take the time to roll the sleeves up neatly. I'm looking forward to seeing players looking a bit more stylish, like they are ready to go to work. Wonder who on the IPT will act as fashion consultant. Some folks just don't look good in certain clothes and they'll need some help to keep from looking as if they just came from the Goodwill!

If I were ever fortunate enough to play on this tour, I'd be looking for something really sharp. Some kind of Payne Stewart thing although plus fours would be a little out of line for pool. :D
