Official: Chinstraps required in NXL for 2017







"2017 NXL RULE ANNOUNCEMENT!



There is one major rule for the 2017 NXL season we want to make sure each participant and coach is fully aware of.



The NXL Rule Book has always stated that masks must meet ASTM standards, which includes the use of the original manufacturer’s chinstrap. This rule will be strictly enforced in 2017. Beginning at the NXL Las Vegas Open, players must use ASTM approved goggles fitted with the manufacturer’s chin strap and the chin strap must be properly fastened. If a player is found to be playing without a chinstrap or an unfastened chinstrap, that player will be eliminated.



Please contact your goggle manufacturer for more information on how to obtain a replacement strap."

If a player was to lose an eye and was not following the ASTM standard our insurance may not cover the players health cost. All of this is avoided by this small annoyance.

Do chin straps fix ALL of the problems? No.

Do they help keep accidents and injuries from happening? Yes.



Take it from me, your eyes, and your vision for the remainder of your life, are worth what ever precaution you can take.
