Mike,

Championship play was my exception. Around here in 'rec'
and league, it is 5-3. Championship is always 5-5.

AFA, we utilize the same 5-3, even in Nationals.
And I was speaking about all the time, every inning of every game of the season. Doing something differently just because it is a "rec" league or friendly doesn't help the players. If anything, it confuses them and the coaches and in turn, makes the tournament umpires look bad when it is enforced in championship play.

Didn't say it was right, just what happens more often than it should.
