NFHS Bat Rules

"Rule 3 which NFHS does not support"

Actually NFHS does support line number 1 and 2 from Rule 3. Are you saying that #3 - the Umpire Option statement is not allowed by NFHS? If so, based on what?

I realize that the FAQ on the NFHS web site "suggests" that the only way to be legal is to be on the list. However, the 2004 Rule Book only states that bats have to meet the 2004 ASA Bat Performance Standard.

That's it; one simple sentence (1.5.4). The NFHS book deliberately does not use much text on this subject, other than to point you to the ASA web site. Where you find the Bat Testing and Certification Program that I referenced above.
