Can I just put my 2 cents in.... Ugh... Never mind. I hate this rule.
i haven't seen it enforced here in Florida.I honestly have forgotten about the rule at every competition we've gone to this year. Our gym hasn't mentioned anything and I haven't seen it enforced either.
I don't think you're "supposed" to be in anything at awards. Do whatever your gym owner tells you to do it - some teams do warmups, some do a t-shirt over their uni, some do just uniforms. Just don't look a hot mess.I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be in uniform for awards, at least where I've been this year, so no cover up
I was in Indianapolis and I don't know of any example where this was enforced. I was under the impression this was a rule, but if it is, it's a poorly monitored one.
i suppose hate is a strong word. The guideline annoys and frustrates me, mostly for selfish reasons.What do you hate about it?

1) I pd a lot of $$ for that uni and think its very attractive and tasteful. It bugs me that it has to be covered by a $20 poly jacket (in our case - i know some gyms have use t-shirts).
2) It's such a backwards way of thinking to me. By saying "cover up" that says to me "you're dressed inappropriately". If it's good enough for the mat - it should be good enough to be worn around the venue. If it's not ok to walk around in - then it's JUST NOT OK. That's where I'm coming from. I have no problem with youth and jr going to covered tummies - heck i don't really have a problem with all divisions doing it. BUT if the rule isn't in effect yet and it doesn't apply to senior division anyway - why do I have to cover up a $400 uni?
Our gym has team warm ups and strict rules about what they can wear with their uniform (no uggs, slippers, PJ bottoms, etc) at any point while wearing their uniform. I did go back to the original email sent at the beginning of the season and it does say for awards they should look like how they competed which I assume means uniform (no warm up). But I have noticed a trend that they seem to all wear their warm up jackets to awards as well. I guess this is because they are probably walking around before awards. But I agree that post-award pictures would be nice in their uniforms. This past weekend they had their warm ups on for pictures - probably no one thought about it. I will say I think they always look neat and professional.I just hate how sloppy some teams look when covered up when gyms don't have specific gym wear. You end up with all these girls having mis matched track pants messy hair from the tshirts being pulled over it just looks bad.
