In our area they play a 65 or 70 minute time limit every weekend. And for some strange reason the teams love it!! I have seen 1OU games that are only 2 innings long!! this is a way for TD to make money and not have to be at the park late on Saturday night.
The teams line up to play in these tournaments. They are mostly C level with a few dads who think they are a B team. LOL.
If they ever had to go to a real USA tournament, they wouldn’t have any idea what was going to happen to them.
And the umpires that work these short games are being paid $38/40 per game and bitch that the games last too long. The game in our area is in very poor shape because of these TD’s taking advantage of the teams. High School level in the area has dropped to an all time low, and continues to get worse every year.
