Bat testing:
We will be testing in the front diamonds or in the office.
1 bat per player and only 1. If one fails you get 1 more chance. We only test a bat 1 time, 1 side etc.
After 12.00 pm, you can come in the office have any other bats tested for 3.00 each, we will test 3 sides for you.
All bats must have the designated sticker at all times, if you enter the box w/o a sticker and caught, an out will be declared and the bat must be re-tested.
All bats must be 240 stamped. Even if we test a 220 bat and you are caught in the box or hit with one, you will be declared out. It is your responsibility to provide our tester a legal bat to be tested.
Please remove all your old stickers. Use goo gone or peel them off.
If we test a bat that is what we consider, ridiculous, we may cut it or sand off the stamp, they are illegal to use in any USSSA/GSL play. Keep them in the trunk.
We all know that some bats have been Temporarily been banned. We will see how that plays out. The penalty for any of these bats is the same as a 220 or non stickered bat.
It is the players responsibility to retrieve a failed bat, once your team is eliminated.
We may spot check bats.
