Dress code

Player dress code:

• There is NO DRESS CODE on Thursday night.
• There is NO DRESS whilst playing in flyers or when renting tables for practice.
• Players must look smart in formal wear and have a shirt with a collar whilst playing in any main event on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. 
• ALLOWED – Shirts with a collar, polo shirts, trousers, chinos, skirts, tailored shorts, leggings, shoes, black trainers, wedges, heels are all acceptable.  Exceptions to the dress code for medical reasons etc can be made, but must be agreed with organises before match starts. Players will be given a medical exception card to carry with them throughout the weekend.
• As from June 2024, we now allow smart tailored shorts or chinos to be worn, as well as black trainers.
• NOT ALLOWED –  jeans, trainers, tracksuits, combat pants, studs & patch pockets, casual shorts, denim, collarless shirts, t-shirts, fancy dress, baseball caps or any scruffy attire will not be permitted. Being unsuitably dressed when called to table may result in immediate loss of frame. Referee may allow a match to finish where blatant rule breaking has not happened – i.e studs or patch pockets, but the offending player must get changed before their next match.
• Patch pockets and studs are not allowed – please check your trousers carefully.
• Players unsuitably dressed must change if they wish to continue playing. Refusal will lead to loss of frames and possible disqualification from the event.
• Exceptions to the dress code for medical reasons can be made, but must be agreed with organises in advance of the tournament or before playing.
• We embrace creative team names as it adds to the fun of the weekend, but we will not accept names that are deemed offensive or too long to announce over the microphone.
• Team names, logos, pictures etc, can be printed or embroidered on the back and front of polo shirts.
