The better one I've experienced was in a Men's SP game with a simple 10 after 5 run rule. Team A is winning 6 - 1. In the bottom of the 6th, Team B hits a 3 run homer to make it 6 - 4. Team B comes out and high-5's the home run hitter, then both teams start giving each other high-5's. I'm standing there wondering WTF, so I ask the coach of Team A what's going on?

"It's a 10-run rule, Blue. 6 plus 4 is 10, so we win."

Amazed, I just walked away and waited for the second game of the double header. Unfortunately, that game went the full 7 - the score was something like 3 - 4.
