| Jan. 15, 2025 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Bats Discussion: Rolled bats MurrayW ... SSUSA does not confiscate bats. We do, however give the owner a choice, sort of like the "implied consent" driving rules in most states. If your bat fails initial field testing, we will ask you to voluntarily surrender your bat for further testing/analysis. So far, everyone we have asked to consider this option has done so. If a person were to decline, that would mark Day #1 of their lifetime suspension from SSUSA eligibility. |
