Sounds hokey to me. Little League uses runs allowed as a criterion for tie-breaking purposes during tournament play. But they don't require teams to play the full six or seven innings to burden the visiting team to continue playing a game they've already lost.
In your tournament, if weather caused a game to end early but a winner could be determined, did they require the teams to continue playing later to finish out the full seven innings?
