What if a league is registered w/ ASA but allows non-approved bats as part of their by-laws? As I've been told several times, the official rules are for championship play. Local leagues can adopt additional rules [e.g. maximum of 6 runs can be scored in a half inning] or drop rules they don't want [e.g. I work 2 modified leagues where the players don't wear helmets and if HBP, it's a ball on the batter].
I'm not advocating that leagues allow non-approved bats and/or balls, but is it really their decision?
Thanx.
