I agree.
BTW, you are taking too long on your SP games. Even the ZZZ level can be faster. They are more susceptable to following your instructions, so you can often get them to hustle a bit more. My shortest 7-inning game on the plate was 44 minutes at the Men's Major Church NC in Mobile, AL. Final score was like 7-5 or something like that. Of course, this was after my travelling partner closed out the previous night on the dish with a 2 1/2 hour, 12 inning, 42-38 marathon.
OTOH, I've had JO & HS (V) games go over 2 hours for 7 innings and most of that time was taken up with chasing the runners back to their bases before returning the ball to the pitcher, the rah-rah after every out and inning and team meetings every half inning. Fun for the girls, boring for me and the two teams waiting to get on the field.
But, FUBLUE is correct. Whatever you are happy working is fine.
