BASEBALL BAT RULE
For the past 3 years or so we have had a particular bat rule. We also have a policy stating that if we do not include an exception to IHSA rules, we follow their guidleines. In our bat rule, we had failed to include any exceptions for the BESR rating that is placed on some bats by their manufacturers. Thus a LOT of problems began taking place this year when officials began tossing out bats. Why it took this many years, we aren't sure. Regardless, it has risen up this year and has become a major problem, both with local ballgames and with our association's liability. Our attorney has worked with all of us on this issue and has given the go-ahead on including that information in our bat rule.
The new language is now included in By Law XXV and has been emailed to every school that has registered their address with Greg. The emailed form also includes examples of legal and illegal bats. Sorry of the confusion and even more concerned that it took this long for it to be brought to our attention, etc.

There has been some confusion concerning the Bat Exit Speed Ratio (BESR) certification on non-wood bats of more than 30 inches in length by umpires and coaches. (3-Drop Rule) The clarification below should clear up the SIJHSAA rule on this matter.
All non-wood bats over 30 inches in length must meet the following NFHS standards: maximum barrel diameter of 2 5/8 inches, maximum length of 36 inches, a (BESR) silkscreen label on the bat; and in weight, the bat shall not weigh, numerically more than three ounces less than the length of the bat.
*Note effective January 1, 2006 no BESR labels, stickers, or decals will be permitted on non-wood bats. The bat must have the silkscreen label by NFHS standards.
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.
The rule is posted in at least 3 places in our By Laws. Check the following BY LAWS: XXV , XXVI , XXXII |
