Why was my post removed asking Tim McElroy for further explanation of the protocols SSUSA has put into effect for what the process is once a bat is surrendered to be inspected? Tim stands behind SSUSA on every single post he comments on and I simply asked him what the process was once the bat leaves our hands since SSUSA hasn't given us the process and he always seems to have behind the scenes knowledge of the inner workings of SSUSA. Everything was done respectfully and no swearing was involved. We simply want to know what happens to our property once it's taken. Why is this such a secret we as players have a right to know. There were multiple people commenting that also wanted to know the process. Continually avoiding answers to legit questions by deleting comments and entire posts doesn't give a good look on SSUSAs part. It's our property not yours we have the right to know what you're doing with it
Tim has 'behind the scenes knowledge', as you call it, of the inner workings of the SSUSA because he's our Eastern Vice President and is in a position to know ... Here's the answer for you one more time: For bats that fail on-site testing, we are sending them out, with the owner's consent, to a qualified entity to determine "why" they failed ... Those entities may include the bat manufacturer and/or the NTS testing lab itself ... It's as simple as that ...

Dave, will all do respect, Johns question was never completely answered. The question was mainly, will the bat be returned to its owner if it has not been altered in any way. Im sorry if its been answered before and I missed it.

Kudos to SSUSA for trying to get the altered bats out of the game. I think the majority would like to see them gone. You guys im sure are still in the infant stage of implementing the bat checking, but im sure its known to you and the rest of the staff how the bats will be checked and if you plan on returning them to the rightful owners.

Thanks Dave or staff for taking this on and hopefully someone will answer that question because if its not answered, im sure it will be asked again and again.
