Tying back hair in the pits at competition

OSHA does recommend tying hair back but does say that ponytails are acceptable. Like I said earlier, I don't see the problem with letting people (with hair longer than 4 inches) tie their hair in a ponytail most of the time and then opt for a bun for more up-close, high-risk situations.

From my perspective the other issues that you reference are not being ignored, they just aren't being discussed on CD at the moment.

If you think that it is a discussion worth having, start a thread! Don't wait for someone else to start the thread if you feel strongly about it.

You're right, I should. I guess I'm just a CD lurker who only posts now and then. #mybad

In my area, the robots running on the ground issue seems to be ignored. Because the incident I referenced happened in 2013, was immediately reported, and STILL happens at the regionals we attend and in increasing numbers.

Please do start that thread, I think you might be interested by some of the responses, including mine.
