As has already been posted, players at this event have a choice between two different types of eye protection:
1) Any APEL-approved model. APEL (Army Protective Eyewear List): peosoldier.army.mil/pmseq/eyewearmessage.asp If you want to wear sunglasses-style eye protection, they MUST BE ON THE APEL/
2) Any ANSI Z87.1-rated FULL SEAL goggle. As noted in the APEL message linked above, ANSI-rated does not mean it provides the complete required protection, in this case protection from side-impact. If your eye protection is marked with the Z87.1 rating and has padding or a seal that reaches from the goggle to your face, you're good.
Normal shooting glasses or sunglasses are NOT sufficient. If you do not arrive with an approved set of eye protection, you will not be playing. You could try to run to Wal-Mart in JC to try to get some, but you won't be playing until you have approved eye protection. Additionally, your donations will not be refunded because you were told repeatedly of the standards.
If you have any questions, post them here. If you are not me, please don't tell someone their eye protection is approved, because at the end of the day that's my call. It is important to note if they're APEL (automatically approved), ANSI (possibly approved) or non-ANSI (automatically disapproved).
