Would that not require a coach to have read the rule first ??

So, to clarify, composite bats with a BESR stamp will be illegal, but composite bats with a BBCOR stamp are legal, correct?

Just to make it even more confusing, apparently now there is going to be a list of composite bats that have only the BESR logo, but are still legal for 2010-2011:

NFHS | Approved BESR-ABI Composite Baseball Bats

As of now, only the Demarini CF4, gold colored version is listed.

What a bunch of crap...like I want to spend 10 minutes in each dugout checking bats. It's getting ridiculous.

This is the only part I can't figure out:

No BESR label, sticker or decal will be accepted on any non-wood bat.

This is in the part talking about prior to December 31, 2011.

So are all BESR non-composite bats LEGAL until the end of 2011? This sentence contradicts that it seems.

When BESR was first implemented, bats could have a sticker. Now, the logo / certification must be screened onto the bat.

This requirement is not new and has nothing to do with the composition of the bat.

right...because a company was developed that sold a sheet of BESR stickers.
