Yes Goph I think it was for playing too early . The rule is like out of state games have to be considered reg season games and they were a couple days early.
For DD's team it is level of competition...her coach schedules the toughest opponents possible in state and out...for a HS team we actually travel a lot around the state, and when there is out of state travel it is for top level competition....we go to TN next weekend for a "play day" which is a 40-50 team scrimmage of good teams from around TN and a few better ones from KY....fun as a fan to have a full day of games going on a dozen fields.....getting down to FLA on spring Break isn't a tough sell to the players either!!
5 innings is normally a regulation softball game (4-1/2 if the visitor is behind). However, the OHSAA general reg's definition of contests may be more liberal.
Section 4. Interscholastic Competition
1-4-1 Interscholastic athletic contest, as used throughout the Bylaws and Sports Regulations of the
OHSAA is defined as a sports event in which student-athletes from at least one school are
engaged in sports-related activities with students from at least one or more schools or non-interscholastic
programs. This includes, but is not limited to, scheduled contests, practices between
two or more schools, sports day, electronic contests, invitational contests, alumni games and
interschool scrimmages.
1-4-2 Instructional clinics and demonstrations designed for the teaching of fundamental skills and conducted
for learning theory, techniques, rules, game procedure and strategy shall not be counted
as a scheduled contest.
