Approved Bat List
Information concerning the Bat Approval process and how Umpires are to enforce the 2004 Ruling is available in unbelievable amounts on the web (softball organizational websites, umpire web sites, umpire forums, bat manufacture web sites and in almost every softball equipment publication. The following text is been supplied to this site from Julie Johnson who was at the National ASA Convention in Orlando, FL this past November:
The following items are all subject to change, stay tuned !!!!
#1, If bat has the 2004 Certification Mark, GOOD BAT, No questions asked
#2, If a bat has the 2000 Certification Mark and is on the BAD LIST = BANNED BAT
#3, If a bat has the 2000 Certification Mark and is on the GOOD LIST = GOOD BAT
#4, If a bat has the Re-Certification Mark and is on the GOOD LIST = GOOD BAT
#5, If a bat has the 2000 Certification Mark and is NOT ON EITHER LIST = BAD BAT
Note: If the bat does not appear on EITHER LIST, then the manufacturer did not submit it for the new testing. And as you can see by the above text.....if the bat has a 2000 Certification Mark it must be on one list or the other.
And Finally #6, Grand Fathered Bats, this part of the rule has NOT changed......if you would have approved it before under the grandfather clause then it is a .................bat by your discretion.
The following text is a article / press release from a bat manufacturer This may or may not help in an umpires understanding of the new bat approval process being followed by ASA. This press release can be found in its original form at www.worthsports.com
Date of Release: October 13, 2003
ASA CHANGES BAT STANDARD AND WORTH DROPS LAWSUIT
Worth is pleased to announce that on September 26, 2003 a new ASA Bat Licensing Contract was executed which contained significant changes in the bat performance standard from the previously announced ASA standard on June 30, 2003. The standards changes announced on June 30, 2003 led to Worth's filing suit against ASA to delay the implementation of the new standard and for other relief. After two months of negotiations between the bat manufacturers and ASA, a revised contract and bat standard were agreed to which has allowed Worth to resume production and sale of most 2004 model softball bats, and terminate the pending lawsuit.
