In Pennsylvania,the PIAA has been using the ASA bat standards since the beginning in 2000.We use the banned bat list prior to a high school contest,and have any banned bats removed.Our umpires are given updated information at every meeting as well as using PIAA's website.It seem to hurt the smaller school districts alot harder than the AAA Schools,thats for sure.It has definitely been a mess since this bat certification program took effect.I hope the ASA and the bat manufacturers can finally get on the same page.I dont think the bat makers need to improve on the technology,they have ruined the game of softball enough(particularly slow pitch,they wont give up until a pitcher or infielder gets killed).
