However you may want to inquire with the local league to see if they have implemented their own league by-laws regarding the bats.

The BBCOR is for all bats not made of wood for Little League International rules

Aluminum or composite.

Not so in minors/majors.

In Juniors? Not per the rule book.

Thank you Rich, she is incorrect bbcor has nothing to do with the 9-12 year old age groups

We weren't talking about that age group.

9-12 have BPF 1.15 and composite barrels must be on the approved list.

I misread before i posted. Juniors, only composite bats must be BBCOR. Seniors, all non-wood must be BBCOR.

Yes, not for minors/majors. But we weren't talking about that age group.

I don't know where I was looking when I looked it up before I posted. But you are correct. For Juniors, it's only the composite bats that must be BBCOR.

For Seniors, (we have no Juniors in our league this season) the rule is all bats not wood must be BBCOR, -3. Aluminum or composite.

I really don't understand where people get the idea that wood bats are under the same rules. It's clear enough in the rules.

Oh wait, I guess I'm expecting people to read the rules...

No offense ... and it's not usually just you... but is anyone else tired of this kind of snittery?

Question: If X and Y and Z happen, then is BR out?
Answer: Yes.
Snit: Not always! If X is not true, and something else happens that is also not in the OP, then BR is NOT out.

Come on.

I don't have a problem with it in this case. Dealing with the misunderstandings in LL that we come across, it is important that the answer is clear.

Rita and I have been internet "friends" for many many years on various boards. She's caught me in muisunderstandings also.

What we both want to do is make sure everyone understands the rules.

In this case there was an implication that the LL Junior rules were the overall LL rules while in fact the LL bat rules vary by level. We should always make an effort to get things straightned out so the lurkers don't go away with a misunderstanding. It'll save some future grief at a game somewhere.
