Is it permissible for players to wear jewelry during a match?

Players are not permitted to wear jewelry during a match due to safety concerns. Jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings can create potential hazards for both the player wearing them and other players on the field. In the event of a collision or fall, there is a risk of injury from the jewelry, which could snag or cause cuts. The rules are designed to protect the players, ensuring that the playing environment is as safe as possible.

While some may argue that certain types of jewelry could be harmless or that taping it down may make it safe, the official guidelines of the game prioritize the removal of all jewelry to prevent any risk of accidents. This cardinal rule helps maintain a fair and safe playing environment for everyone involved.
