Curious if the other age divisions are playing by these new "State Rules" from the State Director, for each of the other divisions & everyone's thoughts???
First off, the other coach & I both handed in lineup card for our first pool play games batting 10 & 11 respectively (which according to USA rules now, I understood to be allowed). We were told that pool games were to follow Championship rules & you could only bat 9.
Then when Bracket Play began, we were told & I heard it confirmed on the cell phone that ALL Bracket games would be "NO Time Limit". I'm glad there is not a lot of teams & wonder how the other ages are doing with more teams involved. I have been to ASA/USA Nationals & there was time limits on early bracket games. I think 7 inning games are awesome, but could make for a long day tomorrow...…..
On a side note - had an Umpire crew call one of my batters out on a caught strike 2 foul tip. This was a new one.....lol I just love how some are so ready to be so sure of not actual rules & the fact we that you would have to pay $100 to have the correct call made...……..
