Miken Sports provides the following update of information that it has received from each association:

ASA - ASA's 2003 performance standard is the same as that in effect for 2002. Miken's Ultra II is fully compliant with ASA's current standard. Although there were meetings between bat manufacturers and ASA on May 18, 2003 concerning a possible change in ASA's standard, to Miken's knowledge ASA has not taken any further action to adopt a change in its standard for 2003.

USSSA - USSSA changed its bat performance standard earlier this year, announcing the change on February 19, 2003. On that same date, USSSA also announced that Miken's Ultra II was not on the approved list for 2003 play, and that USSSA was not grandfathering any bats for 2003 play that met USSSA's 2002 standard. As of the present time, Miken is unaware of any further changes to USSSA's 2003 standard that have been proposed, or are being considered. Miken has no knowledge as to why USSSA refused to grandfather bats for 2003 play that met USSSA's 2002 standard. Any questions concerning this issue should be taken up directly with USSSA.

ISA - Miken has not received any indication from ISA that a standards change is in the works. ISA's present standard is the same as ASA's. Miken's Ultra II is fully compliant with this standard.

NSA - NSA has announced that it has a new performance standard for 2003, but NSA has not yet provided manufacturers with any information on how bats are to be tested for compliance with its new standard. As of this date, Miken's Ultra II is still temporarily removed from the list of approved bats for NSA play. Miken is currently in communication with NSA to try to resolve NSA's temporary removal of the Ultra II from the list of approved bats.

NOVA SPRING KICK OFF RESULTS 

D division, the final standings were:

1st Place: BCC/Worth
2nd Place: Dawgs
3rd Place: Beltway Movers

Job well done by Nova Director Dre' for her efforts in getting her first official event off as planned.  The desire to see a tournament go off without a hitch from old man weather hasn't been seen in the NOVA area in some time.  As for Hooters still playing E and BCC/Worth still playing D...that's another story.

bulletFrom ISA's website, re: pitchers box. http://www.isasoftball.com/    A pitchers box consisting of the area from the front of the pitchers plate, 50 feet from home plate shall be used.  The pitcher must release the ball after coming to a complete stop with one foot or both feet in contact with the pitchers plate or within the pitchers box. One foot must remain in contact with the plate/box when the pitch is released with an underhand motion. A step simultaneous with the release of the ball may be taken in any direction, with the free foot. The pitcher must be facing the batter when delivering the pitch. The catcher must remain within the lines of the catchers box until the pitched ball is batted, touches the ground or home plate, or reaches the catchers box.  This area should be chalked off.  This box allows the pitcher to release the ball from 50 feet to 56 feet from home plate.
