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?
