But it is a reality and so you may want to protect your fingers.

When I was competing I never felt the need to do anything to stop damage to my fingers. Whether that was because I refused to participate in the stupidity or I was just plain lucky, no one will ever be able to know for sure. But plenty of players did feel the need to protect their fingers.

There are still plenty of players who still do feel the need, despite the new rules. Fair enough too as there is still a certain amount of grip fighting that goes on. It has been curbed significantly thankfully but it still exists.
