I know I'm new to all this but I have read the 'Reg Manual' (The trooper survival guide). And it does state:
-Formal Event: Formal does not necessarily mean "canon" a formal event would be one where the event sponsor wishes to have all characters in traditional garb with out special additions. In other words special squads, such as "Alabama's Red Rain" (They look like Sandtroopers but have non-canon pauldrons and color details) may still be acceptable to a sponsor but "Fem Troopers" and Kilted Troopers may not. If in doubt be sure to check with your event sponsor and post accordingly.
-Informal Event: Have FUN, Kilted troopers, Fem Troopers, Santa Hats, Leprechaun Hats, beads, zombie troopers, etc... all are allowed within the bounds of taste, go for it.
So depending on the event type you can wear a pauldron or not.
