IMO the best way to induce fellow club members to "dress up" - if that's what you want - is to lead by example.
Wearing shorts in a bridge club

The ACBL General Conditions of Contest also include a dress code. It says "Informal or casual dress is usually acceptable and appropriate. Conformity to generally acceptable standards of decency and cleanliness is expected. Tournament Directors may, subject to consultation with the DIC, refuse to sell an entry to a person or persons inappropriately dressed or not conforming to the above standards. Subject to consultation with the DIC, Tournament Directors may remove from the tournament area anyone who is inappropriately dressed." So I guess shorts are allowed.

I do not see why not? Why not use the same standards as NYC nightclubs do in deciding who gets to play or not? I doubt you can get into those clubs in shorts and they are not private clubs!

Has anyone defined "shorts" for this discussion? I once played at a Sectional where a fellow was wearing loose gym shorts with his "you know what" hanging out.

If I would play against an opponent like that, I would call the TD since I have Unauthorized Information.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

Nothing wrong with that as long as you don't take advantage of the UI

Was he playing a "short club" system?
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
