How about you replace the screw? Replacement screws, and a screw driver should be part of your tournament kit. I use to also carry a couple of spare chin straps as well back when they were required.
Of interest, in NFHS even warm up catchers (on the field or in the bullpen) need to have approved catchers helmets.
Yes, the manuf. states that is voices the NOCSAE cert. And without the NOCSAE cert. the piece of equipment is illegal in sanctions that require NOCSAE certification. The reasoning behind this is that paints or adhesives MIGHT break down the integrity of the shell.NOCSAE certification relates to pieces of equipment manufactured to the specifications submitted by the manufacturer. It has nothing to do with stickers.
A manufacturer may tell you it voids their warranty.
The only reason an umpire should say anything about a sticker is because it is covering up the NOCSAE certification mark.
That’s why I brought it up. As a fan/scorekeeper, I never talk to umpires during the game. Except the one time our opponent came out with a batters helmet on. I got the umpires attention to tell him that wasn’t legal or safe. He listened to me and told me I was wrong. I caught him and his partner after the game and the partner corrected him. Safety is more important than procedure at that point.To add a little bit of education to this piece (and I suggest using this in your future, @Agcy) ...
A fielder's mask or a batting helmet is NOT acceptable for warming up a pitcher (on or off the field). Neither of these pieces of safety equipment were designed for that use. Neither one provides ANY throat protection, let alone adequate throat protection.
