Four-wall · Part 2 Courts and Equipment
Rule 2.3 Gloves
Gloves must be worn to keep the ball dry.
The usual hitting surfaces of the glove must be light in color and made of a soft material or leather with wetness easily detected by visual inspection. The fingers may not be webbed, connected or removed. Any gloves which provide an unfair advantage are not allowed, and must be replaced at the referee’s direction.
No foreign substance, tape, or rubber bands shall be used on the fingers or on the palms on the outside of the gloves. Metal or hard substances may not be worn under the glove if, in the opinion of the referee, such creates an unfair advantage.
Interpretation
Gloves must be changed when they become sufficiently wet to moisten the ball. This is the referee’s decision. Gloves with holes that expose the skin may not be worn. It is the player’s responsibility to have an ample supply of dry gloves.
