Here’s what bothers me too about that.
WPA Rule Regulations has a dress code section without that policy:

Women’s Showdown Page has its own dress code section without that policy.

EPBF world 10B championship rules document has that section and declares it trumps all other rules and applies to all the events.
But how would you know to check that document if you weren’t playing in the World 10B event and the event you were playing in had its own contradictory document.
Apparently there are men throughout Europe with nothing better to do than independently draft lengthy dress codes for a women’s exhibition featuring 16 top players who have all displayed nothing but total professionalism in their careers.
I was thinking the same thing. They felt the world standard and the event standard wasn’t conservative enough. They felt they needed to exert their own excessive discretionary power over what women are allowed to wear. Gross!
This incident to me is no different than going to a town, where you tend to always finish high or win their major events.Good day and it's been a loooong time posting again...
Do you have any info why this happened? I was really sureprised there's such kind of policy...
Centeno was ‘asked to change into longer socks’ before Women’s Showdown quarter-finals

Chezka Centeno was asked to change her socks before beginning her Predator Pro Billiard Series Women’s Showdown quarter-final against female world number one Chou Chieh-Yu in Las Vegas.
Centeno, who defeated Chen Siming to crown herself the Women’s Las Vegas Open champion days beforehand, was notified by a tournament official that she would need to change her footwear due to skin being shown.
The Filipina sensation had worn the same footwear during her Women’s Las Vegas Open triumph a week beforehand, although her ankle socks suddenly became a problem ahead of the Showdown quarter-finals.
Being forced to change into footwear deemed more appropriate proved an obvious distraction ahead of her match against the reigning women’s world 9-ball champion, which she confirmed via social media.
Locals.... often do whatever they can do to distract you from your win, Especially if your in the hunt and your beatin' on their local hot shots.
Or if there is betting going, that's more likely the reason, to make sure they are not focused.
Good sportsmanship you don't often find in a room of low level gamblers that care more about the $ than anything else.
