Just another one of those "hanging chads" from my good buddies.

Mike, OK, Pa is different. From our mandatory interp meeting
"The following is the NFHS Bat Performance Specifications as well as the PIAA procedure. This procedure is slightly different than the ASA in only that bat MUST have at least one (1) of the two (2) “CERTIFIED” seals as shown below to be considered legal. The “certified seals” below are the only approved seals acceptable for NFHS / PIAA competition."
Let me rephrase what I said earlier - In Pa, no seal means the bat is not legal for a PIAA game.
