1.3 USE OF EQUIPMENT - The SDPL reserves the right to prohibit any equipment it deems untested or inappropriate.

1. You are responsible for all equipment and accessory items you bring to the table. You may not use, or attempt to use, equipment or accessory items in a manner other than their intended use:

a. You may use only your cue stick, held in your hand or not, to help align a shot.
b. You may use either a built-in or an add-on cue extender.
c. You may use your own chalk provided the color is compatible with the cloth.
d. You may not use more than two mechanical bridges at any one time. A bridge may only be used to support the cue stick or another bridge.
e. You may not use any item to prop up your bridge hand. You may hold chalk in your bridge hand while bridging, but the chalk may not be used to elevate your hand off the table.
f. You may not use any ball, your cue stick, the rack, or any other equipment or width-measuring device to determine if the cue ball or any object ball would fit through a gap or to judge what ball the cue ball would contact first.

2. You may not wear any electronic headgear or use any electronic device during a match. Examples include, but are not limited to:

a. Headphones, earphones, or electronic earplugs, including Bluetooth accessories, whether turned on or not. Medically required hearing aids are permitted.
b. Cell phones, pagers, or music devices. Cell phones may be worn on the belt or kept in pockets, but may not be accessed for messages or conversations at any time during a match by singles or Hi-Lo players or during your game in team play. You must turn off all audible ringers and other notification tones while on the event floor. Emergency communications are permitted at any time.

3. Violation of this rule is a foul, and an unsportsmanlike conduct warning must be issued; a second violation results in loss of game; a third violation results in loss of match.
