LL Softball Regulation IV (i) Note 2:
“There is no exception to this rule unless the game is shortened for any reason at which time the Local League may elect not to impose a penalty on the manager/coach.”
This seems to indicate that if a player does not get her minimum playing time because of a shortened game that the league can waive any disciplinary action against the manager/coach but that the player who did not get her playing time still has to start the next game and play the rest of the time she missed in this game plus her six outs and one at bat for the next game before she can be removed from the next game.
This would make sense. You can’t expect the coach to predict that they will score a bunch of runs or that it is going to rain so the game might only go four innings instead of six.
