I don't want to pick on the females and I'm not sexist but...look at these pics for day 2 and tell me if they fit the dress code.

Monica Webb - pic 37 - long sleeve T-shirt, denim pants?
Allison Fisher - pic 38 - 3/4 length sleeves - v neck sweater
Helena Thornfeldt - pic 3 - short sleeves
Miyuki Sakai - pic 75 - 3/4 length sleeves - certainly not a turtle neck
Loree Jon Jones - pic 319 - sleeveless causual dress top?
Ewa Laurance - pic 333 - sleeveless causual top?

Were these cleared by tour director? Oh yes that's a woman too. Why do woman get to wear the more causual clothes and Strickland gets fined? I'm sure Allison will be the first to tell you that in snooker men and women alike wore LONG Sleeves and a vest. I'm just looking for an even playing field.

Male players -
The minimum expected dress code for male players is dress slacks, dress shoes (clean and polished), long sleeve button-up dress shirt (with collar), and sport coat. While playing, players may remove their sport coat and roll up their sleeves (if desired). The suggested dress code for male players is a formal suit and tie, with or without a vest, a button-up dress shirt (with collar), and dress shoes, or a sport coat and tie. Turtle necks may also be worn with a sport coat. While playing, players may remove their coat and tie if desired, and roll up their sleeves. No short sleeve shirts are allowed. All shirts must be tucked in with the exception of certain turtle necks.

Female players -
Expected & suggested dress code for female players is dress slacks, dress blouse or turtle neck, sweater, etc., and dress shoes. Female players may opt to wear a skirt, or a dress. Casual sun dresses or any other casual attire is not allowed. Sandals or flip-flops are not allowed. Other open style dress shoes may be allowed if they are dressy and not casual. Players who are not sure if a specific shoe will meet code must have it cleared in advance by the Tour Director.

All players -
The following clothing is not allowed: Jeans (any denim of any kind), khakis, sneakers, trainers, or any type of gym-type shoe, flip-flops, sandals, baseball caps, berets, sock hats, visors, or any casual hat or cap.

He wears it for religious reasons so unless they want a huge lawsuit on their hands I imagine they will allow him to wear it.
 
Yes, I noticed that too as I was looking through the photo gallery on the IPT site. Some of the women are very professionally dressed but the others, as mentioned in the initial thread are far from professional looking.
There needs to be standards set and followed for both male and female. IMHO.. jbk
 
Kosher ...

A Turbin of sorts I could understand, but his looks like a 'gangsta scarve'.
Is it Kosher for his religion, or is his 'unique' (not conforming to religious standards)?
 
I believe Raj is Hindu and I don't think the headgear is for religous purposes.

Having said that, I don't think the Dress Code delves into headgear.

Personally, if I could ban it without risking a lawsuit, I would.

It's a religious head covering; in the DC area there are large populations of quite a few different Islamic/Hindu/Other Indian (Jain, Sikh, etc.) religions, and they seem to each have their own preferred style of head wrapping. Not all turbans are a long scarf wound around the head. Although I don't know which religion/sect Raj's represents, I've definitely seen plenty of people who wear it at all times.
