The cons are that it's more work to decorate the pole and it doesn't look as nice, but it's not worth making the pole look nice if it gets DQ'd! There's no guarantee that it would, but why take the risk or make it an issue?
Yes, the poles will be used in Texas' UIL meets, AAU, and USATF events so we will do the bottom and top wraps separately and leave the OEM labels intact. Thanks again for the helpful advice!
