Bat List/Rules
 2012
ASA Rule and Code Changes
The ASA National Office has published the
2012 ASA Rule Changes which will go
into effect January 1, 2012. The rule changes include (but are not
limited to) extending the base distance in men's slow pitch to 70
feet, the legal use of senior bats in the senior slow game,
pitch, clarification on grip tape used on bats and the outlawing of
heating/warming devices for bats. As always, ASA rules are written for ASA Championship Play. Teams
should always check with their league directors and tournament
directors to understand what rules will be in play in a specific
game. ASA also has updated the
2012 changes to the ASA Code.
Remember ...
The official bat in ASA Championship Play must meet all of the
requirements of Rule 3, Section 1 and:
1. must bear either the ASA approved 2000 certification mark or the
ASA 2004 certification mark as shown below, and must not be listed on an ASA
non approved list, and
2. must be included on a list of approved bat models published by the ASA
National Office; or
3. must, in the sole opinion and discretion of the umpire,
have been manufactured prior to 2000 and if tested, would comply with the ASA
bat performance standards then in effect.
