Was very simple and put to onus on the players and not the umpires to have legal bats. At most tournaments here in ND they did the same thing. There was one central bat check-in. Every team had to bring their bats over, they were checked, taped if needed on off they went.

That sounds like what needs to be done. Maybe get the NFHS
involved also...

I don't think the Federation has this problem.

Mike,

Last year when all this banned bat list started and NFHS used
ASA's code on Bats, I did one of the largest tournaments {HS}
held in Texas....Walter Sparks was there, he will remember.
When we got finished throwing out bats, most teams had 1 or 2 left,
some did not have a legal bat.
