Information on the ISC "bat rule"
from Al's Fastball
Approved Bats for ISC Competition
Because of the number of International teams competing in the ISC World Tournament the ISC will continue to use the certified bat list provided by the International Softball Federation (ISF). This list can be viewed on the ISF web site www.internationalsoftball.com. Click on Rules and Standards and then on certified bats.
The ISF have determined and published notice that August 31, 2008 will mark the end of the period during which bats that complied with the previous ISF Bat Performance Factor (BPF 1.20) shall be permitted to be used in ISF play and the new BBS (Batted Ball Speed) will be the only standard that is official.
The ISF requires manufacturers who wish to have their bat listed to supply test result that show that their bats meet the standards set.
The ISF has a certified bat list, not a "banned bat" list.
We mention this now so anyone considering a new bat purchase for the 2008 season may want to check their choice with the ISF lists first to eliminate the possibility of a bat purchased for 2008 may be non-approved for 2009.
As a related reminder, by book rule, any player found to be using an altered bat will be ejected from the game and the balance of the tournament.
