The Millennium "A" Division agreed at the league meeting yesterday to play NASF/ASA for the 2008 season.
There will be an addendum made to the 2008 Millennium Sunday Softball League's rules and regulations to reflect changes made in regards to NASF bylaws for the Millennium "A" Division.
Here are two major highlights of those changes.
Pitching
The pitch must have an arc of at least 6 feet from the ground no more than 10 feet from the ground.
Batting
All current ASA Approved 98 or 100 mph bats will be allowed as well as any bat with an approved BPF rating of 1.20 (ASA 100+) approved by the other associations will be allowed. The bats must be marked with the 1.20 rating. Remember, The Miken Ultra and Miken Ultra-II are still not allowed to be used by these other associations either and not allowed in NASF play. Bats made specifically for the Senior Softball Associations are also not allowed as these bats may have a 1.20 rating, but they are designed to achieve optimum flex with a slower bat speed than required by other softball bats. Most bats are designed to achieve optimum flex at bat speeds of 95 mph or more, which means the average senior player never attains optimum performance from their bat. In designing a bat specifically for senior softball players, they have created a bat that achieves optimum flex at a lower bat speed. These kind of bats are not allowed in non-senior league or tournament play for these obvious reasons.
