In Response To: Headphones (benf)

In a local tournament I lost in the final partially due to my opponent talking non stop. He was doing it to put me off - this I know because he bragged about it to me after the match. The TD would not do anything about it.

So I went and bought some Industrial ear protectors. They look like headphones except they have no electronics in them so therefore I cannot be getting information like Match Equity tables from them. I am happy to let any TD inspect them. I will wear them if I need to block out an opponent's noise.

Would they be allowed at any ABT tournament? Stick suggested I tell the TD that they keep my ears warm.
