2008全國大專院校慢速壘球錦標賽競賽 - 壘球

再來一篇，把ISF的內容跟中華慢壘協會的內容做一個比對。
不過可能有些地方不夠完整，因為我只看的到2004-2006的...
內容很長，不想看條文比較的話請直接按"End"看最後面那一段...
我覺得那對我們也有影響...

壘球的彈跳係數必須與美國試驗材料科學會的測量壘球彈跳係數的方法一致。

以下是ISF在合格球棒網頁中的說明，從內容來看，ISF似乎已經準備把球棒認證方式
改為類似ASA以前在用的high-speed batted ball test (100 mph)。
第二段提到2008/08/31左右會公佈符合舊規格(ISF 1.20BPF)的所有球棒〝可以在ISF舉辦
的比賽用到什麼時候〞，這也似乎證明了第一段的說法，可能會改變球棒的規範。

The ISF Playing Rules Commission adopted bat certification standards effective
January 1, 2002. Currently, the (ASTM) high-speed batted ball test (100 mph) is
used for determining bats allowed to be used in ISF World Championships,
World Cups and the Olympic Games. Also included are the qualifying tournaments
for both the World Championships and the Olympics.

August 31, 2008 will mark the end of the period during which bats that
complied with the previous ISF bat performance standard (1.20 BPF) shall be
permitted to be used in ISF play.

Bat manufacturers that have certified their bats to-date are: Albin Athletics,
Combat Softball, DeMarini, Easton, Hillerich & Bradsby (Louisville Slugger),
Miken, Mizuno, Nike, Rawlings, Rip-It, Schutt, and Worth.

看過所有送認證廠商才發現沒有Anderson，這也難怪常看到老美在說Anderson的快壘棒
好用，但為什麼女壘國際賽卻看不到Anderson了。
