NOTICE TO MEMBERSHIP 

The annual early August mailing will include information that each member school should share with their entire school community.  If you are the person we mail to, it is vitally important for you to communicate the contents of that mailing with those in your own school district.  Communication begins with this note and the August mailing.  We depend upon the individual local schools to keep it going in all the right directions from there.

BASEBALL BAT RULE REMAINS AS FOLLOWS:
No 2 3/4 inch barrels except for wooden bats.  All bats over 30 inches must meet the -3 drop rule.  All bats with a 2 5/8 inch barrel must also meet the -3 drop rule.  Bats 30 inches or less AND WITH A 2 1/4 INCH BARREL,  DO NOT have to meet the -3 drop rule.  Wooden bats that meet ISHA and Federation standards are legal.  Composite bats must follow the same guidelines as the aluminum bats.  COACHES ARE TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE BAT RULE TO THEIR SCOREBOOK IN ORDER TO HAVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THE UMPIRES AND OPPOSING COACHES WHO DON'T KNOW THE RULE.

BAT RULE PENALTIES
The initial penalty should be the same found in the Federation RuleBook and interpreted by the umpire.  Repeated violations by the same team could result in additional and much more severe penalties as determined by the SIJHSAA Board of Control.
