really - lrambf
We have not discussed lrambf lately, so here (bold is mine):
11. All games in pool play will be subject to a time limit of 1 hr 20 minutes no new inning rule. The clock begins immediately from the time that the pre-game conference ends. It is the home plate umpire’s responsibility to record the start time and to announce it to both teams. Failure of the umpire to make such announcement, however, does not change the game’s official start time. Once time has expired all play stops and if the inning is not finished the score reverts to the last complete inning. All other games will be subject to the following:
When the 1 hr 20 minute time limit expires, if the visiting team is at bat, they will finish their half inning. If after their half inning, the home team is ahead, then the game is complete and the score stands. If the home team is behind, they will finish their half of the inning. Once the inning is completed, it is a complete game.
Same rule will be in effect for bracket play unless game is tied after last inning. If tied, then the International Tie Breaker will go in effect. If 7 innings are completed before the 1 hr 20 minute time limit, the ITB will begin in the top of the 8th. Game will continue until there is a winner.
