BBCOR 1.15 vs .50

well I hate to be brand new to the site and make myself look stupid right off the bat, but I don't know the difference in those 2 numbers. if one league requires a 1.15 and another a .50, will I be buying 2 bats or can 1 of those 2 be used in both leagues?

Yes, they are both totally different...

BPF 1.15 is a measurement used for bats NOT legal for High School or Collegiate play (Little League and Senior League Bats):

Non-wood bats used in divisions of play Little League (Majors) and below must be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) rating of 1.15 or less.

BPF (Bat Performance Factor) is simply the increase in the liveliness of a ball hitting a bat compared to throwing a ball against a solid wall (i.e., 20% faster rebound = a BPF of 1.20).

BBCOR .50 is a measurement used for bats that ARE LEGAL for High School or Collegiate play (- 3 drop bats primarily)...

Here's a link that can explain BBCOR in depth much better than I can:
