According to POE3, that is how ASA wants it called. Through the ring - legal. Can't go through the ring - illegal.
True, but don't be so quick to make the ring the ultimate test. This POE is basically referring to dinged bats.

I've seen creased bats pass through the ring. That doesn't mean I allow the bat to be used though.

It is also permissible to give the ring a little help, but should not be forced over the bat. Make sure the barrel is cleared of dirt.
