posted 11/17/2011 Just a couple of informational items regarding baseball we felt you
should be aware of.
We are reminding you that effective January 1, 2012 - ALL BATS MUST BE
BBCOR.
Rule Section 3, Art. 2.d states "Beginning January 1, 2012 , all bats
not made of a single piece of wood shall meet the Batted Ball
Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard, and such bats
shall be labeled with silkscreen or other permanent certification mark.
No BBCOR label, sticker or decal will be accepted on any non-wood bat.
The certification mark shall be rectangular, a minimum of one inch on
each side and located on the barrel of the bat in any contrasting color
to read :BBCOR .50" In simpler terms many of the bats used last year
are illegal and will not be allowed this year. They MUST be BBCOR!
Players should be aware of this change as the holiday season
approaches and many will be purchasing or receiving new bats.
Secondly, it should be noted that effective this coming 2012 season we
will be playing the quarterfinal games at the site of the higher ranked
team.
