I could absolutely see a dresscode being enforced heavily if it was seen by the opponent during the match, then a choice of color or style could be done to mess with the opponent, but they sit at a table, the opponent can’t see his pants, as long as the pants would be acceptable for an IT guy in an office, they should be acceptable here

Somehow I doubt a loud tie is banned. This is just arbitrary shit made up by petty tyrants.

  i dont think it’s entirely arbitrary. it’s probably mostly rabid classism.

I’ve worked IT jobs that require khakis and it’s equally stupid and pointless.
