In Michigan - for H.S. Baseball and Softball -
"The hockey style mask is allowed
The fact that when removed means an umpire will be without a hat is not a problem and will not affect tournament assignments."
Quote from Randy Allen, MHSAA Assistant Director for BB and SB in response to my e-mail to him a couple days ago.
Not posted to make a point; just to get the word out to Michigan umpires. Other NFHS umpires may want to contact their state associations to see if they hold the same position.
