End of Game Rule Clarification
The league rules for the end of games have been adjusted as follows:
- Rookie & A Minors Divisions: No new inning after 1 hour. Once an inning has started it will be completed.
- AA Minors, AAA Minors Divisions: No new inning after 1 hour, 40 minutes. Once an inning has started, it will be completed.
- Majors Division: No new inning after 1 hour, 55 minutes. Once an inning has started, it will be completed.
- Juniors Division: No new inning once the game has gone 1 hour, 45 minutes. Drop dead at 2 hours. This aligns with the district guidelines, as these games are inter-league.
- Seniors Division: No new inning once the game has gone 1 hour, 45 minutes. Drop dead at 2 hours. This aligns with the district guidelines, as these games are inter-league.
The official game start time will be recorded by the umpires. Game scorekeepers, managers, and umpires should synchronize timekeeping devices at the start of the game, but the umpire's time is the official time. Managers are encouraged to keep the games moving, allowing no more than 1-2 minutes between innings to position the defense and for the pitcher to warm up.
