Oh i can assure you Cleatus is far from a hctib. However, the comment probably was directed in your general direction aswell as the direction of others.

As i see it :
Junior:
-Elbows must be protected with any appropriate pad irrelevant of long or sort sleeve.
-Knees must be protected with any appropriate pad irrelevant of pants or shorts
Senior
-Elbows must either be covered with jersey or protected with appropriate pad
-Knees must be protected if full length pants are not worn.
Full finger gloves manditory for both.
|
Na you can wear T-bones with whatever. doesnt have to be knee/shin anymore.

Going back and reading the .pdf, you are right. Its says your knees need to be protected, nothing about shins. But the bit that confused me was where it said knee/shin. So I think its just saying you can use ur knee/shin pads as 'knee protectors'

Just to clear up the confusion, I emailed Chris Mildon about the knee/shin thing and this is what he said:

Hi there
I just want to clarify one thing about the new body armor rules for nationals.
Its regarding the knee guards. I am a junior but can I wear just knee pads or do they have to full length knee/shin.
Cheers Tyler Perrin
Hi Tyler,
Can be just knee pads.
Thanks
Chris
