I believe here in Virginia, the adoption of the "10 after 5" run rule is delegated down to the district level. I say that because our association put out a guidance document for our region (four districts) that indicates both run rules and the use of ITB.
All four of our districts adopted the 10-run rule for regular season play. For district tournaments, one district does not use the 10-run rule, while the other three do.
For region and state tournaments, the 10-run rule is not an option.
