That would definitely be news to me.  As far as balls are concerned, Nationals is Sport-certified now and I haven't seen anything about particular equipment being disallowed there.

News to me too.  I never saw this rule, but I haven't read the rulebook lately.  Are they leaving it open to implement using only PBA approved balls on the PBA Experience leagues?

I used a Requiem at Nationals and no one said anything. Possibly just using the USBC Approved list and giving it another name?
