Are these NOCSAE certified too??!! I don’t know, AA... quality of play might be affected, despite your best intention on addressing the safety aspect.

Is the turf NOCSAE -rated and certified? Iddaknow, Kevin, the COR is so much different between turf and grass, it might imperil HS players to the point that the Fed needs to intervene and standardize everything.

Oh, and you’re going to despise me, and @KenBAZ and @Mr Ump ... we just finished games 5 & 6 (for some guys) today in the HS season. 

 

It’s OK Max ... just play anyway.  Even if the field is a flaming pool of magma and glass shards.  Just don’t forget to file a report.

 

I have my last volleyball games tomorrow ...

I think the coefficient of friction between the turf, the black pellets and the polyester if baseball pants will be of greater concern when players violate the FPSR and glide past 2B when it's encased in snow or ice.

Glide past?  Pfffft.  I’m more concerned about them bursting into flames if the turf isn’t covered.

Flames? This is NJ not AZ.

From the friction of non-NOCSAE approved fabrics on non-NOCSAE approved turf.  I mean, that is eating-gas-station-sushi levels of risk.

Did we clarify if AZ is a play and report, or DO NOT play state?

[KenBAZ]

AZ is a RESTRICT, play and report state.

Thanks Ken!  Once I posted, I saw it on the chart!

[The Man in Blue]

Where is the chart located?  I’m composing a letter to my state association and it might be interesting to include that data.

it's not a 'chart' so to speak.   it's only a 'list' of states and what they're requiring for this rule.

I posted the link in conjunction w/ my original post.  The post takes you to one of maven's posts where he tracks it.

ON EDIT!

Thank you @Thunderheads!

 

Illinois is play and report.

Florida is now a No-Play state...   But Umpires don't want to enforce it...

Huh??? Show up to a game and don't have to do anything and get paid? Why refuse?

As long as the assignor has sent emails out to all coaches and ADs,....there shouldn't be too much problem

If a team did not have any legal bats, would you let them play anyway?

Different subject altogether. We don't check bats, we have been asked to check the baseballs however.

But the answer to your question is obviously no :-)

At times we have been.  In Illinois we still are supposed to for middle school (which also uses NFHS rules).

Remind me again, why am I bothering to check the balls if we aren’t going to do anything about it?

IN is play and report
