Will warped end cap disqualify bat?

Must be a 2016 Xeno thing....my DD's did the same thing

Not a 2016 Xeno thing...its a LS thing. Happens more than once to any of their bats

True story.

DD's 2016 Xeno got tossed from a high school playoff game for the very same issue. Her 2014 did the same thing.

Right or wrong, some umpires suspect bat tampering when the end cap isn't 100% flush.

Happy to report that DD's bat passed with flying colors and has the nice little sticker to prove it. Now the conundrum - do I keep the $200 replacement or send it back????
