My $.02 worth
I dont see a big safty issue here and a very small advantage issue on excessive tape. I have only once enforced the rule and it was for the opposite reason there was only one layer of tape on the bat and it only came up about 6" so I had them remove the bat from the game. I would probably never miss with this rule in regualar league play unless the problem was brought up by a opposing team manager. In tournament play during pre-game inspection I would inform the manager to remove the bat if it was illegal
