Tackle that person with no safety glasses

[XRaVeNX]

I heard this as a rumour... I dunno if it is true but during the Canadian Regional, a girl from another team just pulled her safety glasses just to the tip of her nose so that she could rub her eye. And one of the officials told her that she isn't allowed to do that cuz you could get disqualified.

I just think it is a little overboard. As if the 5 feet by 5 feet sheet of plexi glass isn't enough....

I mean, what is wrong with rubing your eyes? If someone's eyes are agitated, it probably means there is something in them. And if there is something in her eyes, it probably means:
1) the safety glasses arn't working anyways
2) it is better to be able to remove that "thing" out of your eyes than let it sit there and make your eyes water and even go partically blind.

I dunno, I just think the rule is a little strict.....

I mean, I was a camera guy, sitting on the side, pretty close (liek 4 feet) to the field, WITHOUT plexi glass between me and the field, WITHOUT safety glasses and no one complained.
