Metal cleats in 18A / Gold

[DonnieS]

Did I miss the annoucement that metal cleats are allowable for ASA 18A and ASA 18 Gold? Saw a kid with them this weekend and was told that a new ruling had come out a couple of months ago that ok'ed it.

Well, good, I figured one of you had already posted it my oldtimers was kicking in again and I had forgotten.

And it irritates me to no end. DD forced me to buy metal for HS. Now she wants new rubber for TB. I emailed our ASA state rep and he said NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO metal cleats allowed.

Somebody is blowing smoke up your ....whatever. That would require a rule change which never got out of committee in November. For that matter, some members of the committee actually scoffed at the proposed change. Any post-convention change would have required an emergency vote of all council members via mail. To the best of my knowledge, no such action has been taken by ASA.

I remember Mike, Irish whatever, saying this exact thing - that it never got out of committee - oh wait, thats you. Thanks for reminding me.
