| May 20, 2015 johnperry Men's 55 1 posts | rain delay rules This past weekend we played in a T.O.C. tournament in Leesburg, Va and we got rained out on Saturday after heavy rains. The tournament committee decided that the games that were rained out and remaining games would be 5 inning games! While my understanding is that the committee has 3 options, I feel that they choose the worst of the 3 options. Why not go to the 1 & 1 count and play 7 innings or at the very least, play 7 innings for the championship games? Does anyone else have an opinion on the committees decision in the event it rains at another tournament? |

Not to belittle your concern, but to hopefully make you a little grateful, the park here that has the most adult tournament games in this situation goes 45 minutes and 1 pitch until they catch up. They have also cancelled the losers' bracket in the worst conditions. They had to something to shorten games, and I think changing the count changes the game more than reducing the innings. I am sure the committee weighed all options which is better than one person making the call. You know that there was at least some thought and discussion put into it. |

Well they called the game said we lost because as of the last inning we couldn't catch up. Well they hit all their homeruns we had 5 left. The idea ESPECIALLY at BLD is to save HR's for the end. The homeruns left for each team should count for at least a run. We got booted for playing smart and down went our $575 |
