Jewellery
  • Requirement: All jewellery must be removed before arriving at the competition.
  • Event Rules: Jewellery cannot be taped and must be fully removed as per Event Provider requirements.

Important Notes:
  • Jewellery left on can result in a points deduction.
  • Jewellery cannot be handed to the coach for safekeeping.
  • Bring a small bag to store any removed items.
Nails
  • Length: Nails must be cut short so that no nail is visible when palms face upward.
  • Polish: No nail polish is allowed.
Tanning

For older athletes, a spray tan or self-tan is optional, but we recommend applying it only to exposed areas of skin. If you choose to tan, ensure it is done two days before the competition to allow for even coverage.

Body Lotions/Moisturisers

Avoid using body lotion or moisturiser on competition day, as it can make skin slippery and difficult to grip—especially for Flyers.
