I'm not necessarily in agreement that it's USASF's role to tell us how to dress our children. I think that if I go to a gym that wears half tops, which is my choice to do, that it's also my choice whether or not to have my child's belly showing in her uniform off the competition floor. Like I said, my choice has always been to cover up while sitting in the stands and walking around, but I feel strongly that should be the parents' decision.
If you are at a USASF-sanctioned competition, I steadfastly believe the USASF has the right to make rules regarding behavior at that competition - not just the 2 1/2 minutes you're on the floor. We can argue the merits of the particular rule, but to me it's completely within the bounds of what I'd expect a sanctioning body to govern.
