Dress Code

Presenting a professional player image helps our regional tour draw sponsors & viewership.
NWPA players are responsible for knowing and adhering to requirements. If a player is found to be in excessive violation of the dress code, she will have 15 minutes to change her attire or forfeit her match (final decisions are made at the discretion of the board). See visuals at the bottom of the page for examples, click to download a copy here.
We do not wish to police dress code excessively, so please use common sense and these guidelines for attire. If you’re unsure whether the clothes you have are within dress code, please bring extra clothes and be prepared to change if necessary.
