Just a note for all those who think that the "powder resin" rule is just window dressing.
The notes sent to me from OKC concerning the manager's meeting prior to the a national tournament instructs the UICs to address the rule which requires the use of "only" powdered resin.
As a course of preventive umpiring, I suggested to the managers that if they did have "rock" resin, they take a bat, find a hard surface and.......
The point being that this shows me ASA is serious about having only a powdered bag on the field.
