Alcatraz Invitational - Neoprene Cap?

I'll be doing the Alcatraz Invitational on September 21, 2008. Although I've been swimming in the bay this will be my first crossing. I'm in the non-wetsuit division. My question - are neoprene caps (Barracuda, Blue Seventy, etc.) legal in the non-wetsuit division? Any other tips for a first-timer? Will a neoprene cap be needed (it's a pretty short race)?
