The following information has been updated to provide more details and to clarify our policy on Face Masks. The policy remains unchanged.

1.  Masks are required at all times while in the event venue building of any U-FLI sanctioned event.

o   All participants, judges, score keepers and anyone attending the event (including those who have received the vaccination) will be required to wear masks, even if masks are not mandated by the current governing body(s).

o   Should any person at the event not be wearing a mask or wearing a mask properly, they will be given 1 warning.  A second offense will result in the individual being dismissed from the event completely and they will be required to vacate the premises.

2.  When any attendee of a U-FLI sanctioned tournament is outside of the event venue building, masks are not required if social distancing is achievable and practiced.  

o   Masks should be worn if it is not possible to social distance outside of the event venue building (this includes staying six feet apart from others who do not live together).

o   Social distancing means keeping a safe space between yourself and other people who are not from your household (most commonly 6' or more).

3.  Recommendations for effective masks:

o   Masks that have two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric, that completely cover your nose and mouth and fit snuggly against the sides of your face and do not have gaps.

o   Further protection is given if a HEPA filter is used inside of the mask.

o   Plastic face-shields may not be used alone but may be used in conjunction with a properly fitted and accepted face mask.

o   Masks must be worn properly at all times covering the nose and mouth.

o   U-FLI recommends that participants keep a spare mask to replace one that becomes wet from moisture in your breath, snow, or rain.
