At the risk of seeming a little "bat"ty:
- if the custom people are not the original mfr and violate 3-1-H, that would make it an altered bat
- if the custom people were the original mfr., then the design would have to be tested to comply with ASA standards
- if the bat does not comply with the approved/non-approved lists in an identifiable manner, that would mean rejection of the bat
I don't think any rules mention who does the altering.
Yes, after vacation I will sit down and re-learn the entire bat rule.
