When Is A Bracelet Not Considered Jewelry?

When it is a Medic Alert bracelet. The rules explicitly state that the wearing of jewelry is not allowed. But, Rule 3, Article 7 specifically speaks to medical alert bracelets. It allows them to be worn during a game, but they must be taped. In high school games, I have seen them taped down so that just the face of the medical alert tag shows, but the band is taped down around the wrist. This is acceptable.
Do you have a rule that you would like clarified? If so, submit your question to Ken Foster at kenfos@comcast.net
