Uniform Rules

Competitors must wear uniforms that comply with Rules 9-5 and 4-3 of the National Federation Rules Book.  See Situation Rulings 9.5.3 and 4.3.1 (H)-(N) in the National Federation Casebook. 

Listed below are some guidelines.  Please check with the Starters or the Referee before your race if you have questions or concerns regarding the rules.

Tops: Teams must wear identical school-issued tops.

Bottoms: Boys must wear identical school-issued boxer-type shorts.  Girls may choose: all must wear school-issued boxer-type shorts or all must wear school-issued brief-type shorts; whichever shorts girls wear, they must be identical.

Definition of Identical for Tops and Bottoms: Identical means identical.  They must be the same length, the same style, and the same color.

Undergarments--Solid Colors: All undergarments that show out from under either tops or bottoms must be solid colors.  No stripe or stripes or patterns of any kind are permitted.  “Solid” means solid: the whole garment is one color with no variations, markings, colorings, stripe or stripes, patterns.  A 1.5” x 1.5” manufacturer’s mark or logo is permitted.

Undergarments - Top Colors: Anything that shows out from under the top must be the same color for all members of a team. 

Undergarments - Top Lengths: Undergarments that show out from under the top may be of different lengths among team members.

Undergarments - Bottom Colors: Anything that shows out from under the bottoms must be the same color for all members of a team.

Undergarments - Bottom Length: Undergarments that show out from under bottoms may be of different lengths among team members.

Relationship Between Top and Bottom Colors:  Undergarments that show out from under the top may be a different color from undergarments that show out from under the bottoms.

Relationship Between Tops and Bottoms:  Tops and bottoms must meet; no bare midriffs.  Girls may not wear bikini-type briefs.

Definition of Team:  For the purposes of these uniform rules, girls and boys from the same school are considered to be different teams.  The uniforms of girls and boys from the same school may be completely different, but must follow the rules set out above.
