2012 GHSA Baseball Exam for Officials

Submitted by webmaster on Sat, 02/18/2012 - 7:20pm

The 2012 GHSA Baseball Exam for Officials will be offered online this year. The site for the exam is:

exam.ghsa.net

You will login to the test site using your last name and the last five(5) digits of your Social Security Number. We are using the information given to us by your association secretary, so if you have problems logging into the site, please ask your secretary how your name and SSN were given to us for registration. Only currently registered baseball officials will be able to take the test.

The Baseball Exam will be available from 2/20/2012 until 2/26/2012. There is a time limit of 90 minutes to complete the test once you start. Please try to take the test as early in the week as possible. If you attempt to take the test near the deadline, you must start the test with enough time to finish before midnight on 2/26/2012. After the deadline has passed, you will be unable to answer any further questions and the test will be scored at that point.

You will be unable to review your test during the testing period (2/20-2/26). Once testing has ended, you can log back into the testing site and review your answers.

Warning - once you start the test you have 90 minutes from the start time in order to finish the test. You cannot log out of the testing system and then log back in later in order to try to suspend the test timer - the timer does not stop during that time. Please ensure that you have enough time to complete the test before starting.

NFHS Approves 'RIP-IT' Bat For 2012 Season

Submitted by stevefig on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 4:46pm

The GHSA has received notification from NFHS concerning the "RIP-IT" bat with the "BBCOR .50" bat markings on the tapered part of the bat. The marking on the tapered part of the bat is legal for the maker of the RIP-IT bat ONLY. Any other bat must meet the current standards.  This waiver is good for this year only, and the RIP-IT bat will meet standards next year.

Since the ruling about the RIP-IT baseball bat was made on February 13, 2012, information has been received that indicates that a couple of other manufacturers haved placed the BBCOR labels on the taper of the bat rather than on the barrel.  Therefore, for the 2012 season, the BBCOR label may be placed on either the barrel or the taper of the bat.
 
Please inform your coaches of this change ASAP.  Sorry for the confusion, but the NFHS waiver had to be announced before we could make any changes.
