Bat Certification
As per the NCAA Rules of Softball, bats shall bear the permanent ASA 2000 certification seal or be listed on the approved bat list of the ASA web site, www.softball.org (select site map; select certified equipment), indicating compliance with the bat performance standard per the appropriate ASTM testing protocol.
Please make sure that if your college has a bat that does not bear the permanent ASA 2000 certification, you have a copy of the approved bat list to show the umpire at each of your games.
