Rules
Tim Challender Asked 12 years ago
Hi. Can you change your bat during a match? In the middle of a game or inbetween games?

Hi Tim,
You are only allowed to change it if you damage it accidentally and can't play with it any more.
Otherwise you have to use the same bat for the whole match.

Is it the same for the match or the whole tournament?
Just for the match.

So we can play with different kinds of bats in different matches in a single tournament?
