The schedules are now fixed and finalized:
Disregard ALL SCHEDULES that DON'T say:
FINALIZED SCHEDULE
Every effort was made to correct the delays caused by the back-to-back scheduling of teams on different fields. There should be no more delays. Also, an effort was made to eliminate all previously scheduled 630-915 games for teams. Most nights were fixed without problems, but in 3 divisions, there was one 630-915 game needed per night, so we tried to make it so no team had more than 1 or 2 of those nights scheduled throughout the rest of the season. Thanks again for you patience and understanding as we've dealt with these issues and we hope everyone has an enjoyable and successful season!
Player Waiver- Every player must sign one of these.

Managers:
Anyone needing to have their bats tested/stickered needs to do so between
5:45-6:15 on any league night. Outside of those times, special arrangements need to be made with one of the UIC's. They are the only ones doing the testing.
If your bat doesn't have this years sticker, it won't be allowed to be used in the game.
ASA Rule Changes:
A couple of major changes to the ASA rules took place recently. The complete list can be found on www.sdasasoftball.com, but here are some of the highlights:
Rule 6, Section 3H: The ball must be delivered with a perceptible arc and reach a height of at least 6 feet from the ground while not exceeding a height of 10 feet from the ground.
(This one lowers the maximum height limit from 12' down to 10')
Rule 3, Section 1H Altered Bat: Approved bats shall not be rolled, shaved or modified to change their characteristics from that produced by the manufacturer and shall be considered an altered bat.
(This rule adds specific language stating that ROLLING a bat is illegal. The previous rule didn't specifically cover rolling)
Rule 3, Section 1D Safety Grip: Covers the handle region of the bat. The safety grip shall not be less than 10 inches and not more than 15 inches. There shall be no exposed metal in the 10 – 15 inch area. The safety grip may be a molded finger formed grip as long as it is permanently attached to the bat, or attached with safety tape. Resin, pine tar or spray substances are permissible on the safety grip only. Any tape applied to the safety grip must be a continuous spiral. A bat having a flare or cone shaped grip attached is legal.
(This one covers how long a grip has to be, and makes it legal to have a cone or taper at the end of the handle)
