If a local league allows non ASA approved bats can our umpires permit them to be used in those leagues games which we officiate? If so do we risk losing ASA insurance?

My commissioner and I asked John Spiotta (Bollinger) the exact same question. The response was that the insurance is still intact. He compared it to driving in what someone may consider an unsafe manner, your insurance is still in effect.
Obviously, they would rather you didn't allow the use of non-approved equipment, but they will cover you as long as all other requirements of the policy are met.
Remember, your liability is $5mm with a $8mm aggregate which means that it is possible that you may become uninsurable if you are caught up in something like this more than once.
