Two years ago, we had a member of the NUS pulled all of the Rocket-techs due to this problem.
As the Rep for the tournament, I showed him how to fix it and all was well. Bats were allowed back in.

Scott,
It is good that an adjustment could be made, but by rule, bats are not allowed to have exposed rivets or pins.
If they are flush, I'm not going looking for trouble, and that bat will stay in the game. However, as an umpire, I'm going to assess the bat presented to me. The people who need to know how to deal with the issue are those who own the bats, not the umpire.
And to be honest, at what point to you recheck the bats during a game?

I should have been more clear.
The NUS member pulled all of these bats with no regard to exposed rivets or not. Just pulled them all.
When we showed him between games that the problem could be easily rectified, then the bat model was allowed for use in the tournament.
Sorry, I was thinking what I was thinking and expecting you to understand what I wasn't saying.
Now, does that clear things up?
hehehe
