I Need to Add . . . for Rog's Benefit
Rog,
I wasn't disagreeing with NFHS's rulings. In fact, in Michigan (member schools of the MHSAA) are required to use BESR bats at all levels of competition, 7-12 Grades.
NCAA has had that requirement for over 2-years already. Ball State beat Central Michigan in a 12 inning game because back in the 8th inning a CMU batter used a bat where the sticker had either been removed or came off of the bat.
While stickers, provided by bat manufacturers, are acceptable for bats that meet the BESR criteria . . . they must remain affixed and be legible at all times.
My comments and personal opinions were directed toward Recreation Leagues and Summer Fed games; where those leagues may elect to ignore the BESR requirement.
