COMBAT MFG RODEO: FAQ

 What Is "Rodeo"?

COMBAT MFG Rodeo is a product drop celebrating the rugged spirit of rodeo culture and the American West. The drop will feature new bat designs for the SPEC-A1 BBCOR, CR-1 slowpitch, and XR-1 slowpitch, as well as new apparel.

 
 When Is the Rodeo Drop?

The Rodeo drop will start with a new release of SPEC-A1 BBCOR bats on Thursday, March 27. New slowpitch bats will drop on April 10, and further Rodeo gear will drop in the weeks after.

 
  How Many Bats Are in the Rodeo Drop?
  • 15,000 SPEC-A1 BBCOR bats in three different designs (5,000 per design).
  • 1,500 CR-1 USSSA Bradley Jones slowpitch bats
  • 250 each of the CR-1 USSSA balanced slowpitch bat, XR-1 senior slowpitch bat, and XR-1 Kendo senior slowpitch bat.

Each of these bats will be individually numbered.

 How Will VIP Access Work?

On launch day, we'll be using a virtual waiting room feature to control traffic to the bats. At 9:30 a.m. Eastern, we'll send all VIPs a link to a waiting room. Once the bats go live at 10:00 a.m. Eastern, anyone in the waiting room will be randomly placed in a queue.

Non-VIP visitors will then be able to join the queue at the back of the line, behind everyone who signed up for VIP access.


  What If You Sell Out?

If we sell out of bats on our website, you can find Combat Rodeo bats on JustBats the next day, March 28, at JustBats .


 Why Are COMBAT MFG Bats Listed On Reseller Sites for So Much More Than the Original Price?

Unfortunately, it's too common in the game for resellers to capitalize on limited-release products by buying them and re-selling them for higher prices. We want to see our products in the hands of players, not resellers.With the Rodeo drop, we're limiting purchases to two bats per customer. Our hope is that this limits reselling behavior. We're continually looking for new ways we can limit this kind of activity on future drops.
