Straight from the 2013 OhioHSAA Baseball Manual:
Game Limitations (Grades 9-12)
Maximum number of games permitted: 27 on a maximum of 27 playing dates (new for 2013!)
Scrimmages/Previews: Maximum of 4 scrimmages OR 3 scrimmages and 1 Preview
Scrimmage Note: Scrimmages MAY be held at any time during the season but MUST count as the same for both competing teams. In other words, Team A cannot count it as a ‘scrimmage’ while Team B counts the competition as a ‘game’.
Game Limitations (Grades 7-8)
Maximum number of games permitted: 17 and 1 Post-Season tournament not to exceed 4 games.
Scrimmages: Maximum of 2 scrimmages
Scrimmage Note: Scrimmages MAY be held at any time during the season but MUST count as the same for both competing teams. In other words, Team A cannot count it as a ‘scrimmage’ while Team B counts the competition as a ‘game’.
End of Season Date
Teams may schedule games right up until the board adopted “Season Ends” date of June 15, 2012. This means that even though you are in tournament or eliminated from tournament, you may still schedule (usually ‘make up) a contest up until this date. Keep in mind that playing this late also eliminates any opportunity for a player to play non-interscholastic baseball until the school season is
complete. (see below)
