As an umpire, which game format would you prefer. One with a time
limit, or one with an inning format? Using the average play scale
around this area, $22 for games an hour or under, $24 for one hour-
fifteen to one hour-thirty and $28 for an hour-45 and over unless
college teams involved, then it is usually $32. Not talking
conference games, but showcase tournaments.

My main reason for asking is, I am involved with NFSA now and all
their games or inning format. 10/12/14U play 5 innings and games
can end in a tie for pool. 16/18U play 6 innings. The only games
requiring a winner is the championship game in each division.
A 10U 5 inning game can last a long long time, as well as a 12U. Even
with the speed up of allowing only three warm-ups by pitchers
between innings and no infield practice, it is hard to keep a 5
inning game at these levels below an 1hr-15min.

Just looking for some thoughts on this and interested if anyone else
is calling NFSA.

Both.
