Why folks who don't umpire shouldn't write rules.
A tournament rule as written and published follows. Is the mercy rule in effect in the championship game?
11. Game time limits are as follows:
All games are 55 minutes, i.e. no inning will be started after 55 minutes have elapsed. (except as noted below).
a. After 7 innings, the ASA tie-breaker system will be employed.
b. A “10 Run Rule” is in effect after 5 innings.
c. Last game in the Losers Bracket and the Winners Bracket are 7 innings with ASA tie-breaker if tied after 7 innings.
d. Championship Game(s) will be 7 innings with ASA tie-breaker if tied after 7 innings .
