It’s a rule by Konami. You need to have basic hygiene. Nothing unusual here.

Literally any large gathering of people for any reason is going to have you dealing with smells you don't like. This is an unavoidable part of the human condition.

This is Madison Reyes who plays for Indiana. In 2019 she was picked up as a point guard due to her natural pointing ability and her sensitive nose. Madison has a habit of pointing out players who wear excessive perfume and she says it interferes with her ability to play.

I think so, "smells you don't like" can include overpowering laundry products or aftershave/cologne/perfumes. Dear lord some people at work I actively steer clear from because otherwise I go into fifteen minute sneezing fits.

TCG games just attract people that are 150 pounds overweight and smell like cat piss.
