What parents should do

Open the specific Five Tool / Exposure event page and find the bat rules section before packing the bag.
Youth divisions commonly allow USSSA BPF 1.15 (and sometimes USABat / BBCOR / wood) with age drop caps.
High-school-age brackets commonly require BBCOR −3 or single-piece wood.
If the event is co-branded with USSSA, Perfect Game, or another sanction, that sanction’s stamp rules usually apply.

Inherits stamp: We do not invent Five Tool-wide drop tables. When a published national sheet is not available, treat rules as event-specific and confirm with the director.
