Effective from the round of games this weekend (25th October 2008) there will be a complete ban on the use of tinted visors in Gridiron West.
This is an NCAA ruling for the protection of player's health as in the case of a serious injury it is useful for medical staff to be able to check the injured players eye responses - obviously tinted visors impede/prohibit vision of the eyes and make it harder to treat the injured person. Clear visors are still acceptable.
If you have a genuine medical reason for wearing a tinted visor you can apply for an exemption by supplying medical certification to the GW Board.
