the 10 after 4 1/2 or 5 if necessary. All play off games
utilize the 10/5 4 1/2 if home team leading.

Then why, in their infinite wisdom, did the powers that be at TASO say that the 15/3 option was in effect for the first time legitimately this year? In previous years, the 10/5 had been the only acceptable mercy rule. Yet this year, at the meetings and even on the website, they stated that if both teams agreed to the 15/3 prior to play, then it would be an acceptable alternative.
