Turn your hand towards your face, if you can see fingernail above the finger tip – you need to file down and make sure they are smooth.

Gloves

We do allow players to play in suitable gloves – These should have no sharp edges, buckles or edges that could cause another player injury. If the Umpire deems them not suitable – you will not be able to play in them.
