Published Triple Crown bat rules

13U and younger: permanent USSSA 1.15 BPF or official USA Baseball logo or BBCOR.50 or single-piece wood. No weight/length restriction in the base rule — but some markets vary.
14U: BBCOR.50 or single-piece wood in the base rule; some markets publish variations.
15U and older: −3 only; BBCOR stamped (wood allowed).
Bat rules follow the age division you play in, not the player’s birthday.
TCS publishes a specific list of banned older models (certain 2015–2017 DeMarini/Easton/etc.).

Maximum barrel diameter (inches) commonly published for this program. Length and drop limits are separate — check the notes.

Age / division	Max barrel	Notes
Youth travel weekends (typical)	Up to 2¾″ if USSSA big-barrel	Follow event sanction — often USSSA-like
BBCOR age brackets	2⅝″ max	When BBCOR is required

Triple Crown events usually mirror USSSA or BBCOR event sheets. Confirm that weekend’s rules.

Confirm with your league: Exact barrel caps can differ by town, age group, and season PDF. Use this table as a starting point.
