USSRA event. This also applies to any participants representing
the U.S. in international collegiate competition.
Approved eyewear are glasses that are certified by either ATSM or
ANSI and have passed the appropriate tests.

Disclaimer
The CSA does not test or certify eyewear. The CSA only endorses
those companies that have meet and or exceed the tests as listed
above. It is the individuals responsibility to ensure that their
eyewear is approved and meets or exceeds either the ANSI and ATSM
testing requirements.
The Rules
Approved eyewear must be worn for the entirety of the match, from
the beginning of the warm-up till the match reaches a fair conclusion.
Standard eyeglasses may not be worn in lieu of approved eyewear,
even if eyewear have plastic lenses. In the event of a player not
having approved eyewear for their match the same rules that apply
for a self
inflicted injury will apply. In the event of breakage of eyewear
during the match the injury rule may be required to determine the
result. This would only be needed in the case of prescription glasses
that can not be immediately replaced. In the event of a player not
having approved eyewear and a suitable replacement not being found
the player may forfeit the match.
Coaches Responsibility
It is up to each institutions coach that each member of their team
have approved eyewear before the start of each season and have suitable
replacement pairs for the duration of the season.
