3) In a tournament in which the team winning by one run needed to beat their opponent by a certain number of runs in order to advance from pool play has a pitcher who intentionally walks the lead-off batter and balks 3 consecutive times so that he scores the tying run so the game can go into extra innings.

did these situations actually happen?
i havent worked time limited games since my days in LL, but its not like a buzzer goes off and everyone grabs a towel and heads to the parking lot. if a game was like that, id be kind of shocked. arent time limited games "no inning can start after X:XX" or "no inning can start after the game has gone X:XX"?
