Both front corners of the nose piece lip/splitter must have a radius to prevent sharp edges. The nose piece will have no more than a 1.5” of belly built into the face of the nose. At the official’s discretion, any nose piece cut up and deemed too radical for the intent of the conventional nose piece rule or that is laid back or excessively flattened out may be assessed up to a 100 pound weight penalty.
