New Pitching Rules - Little League

[LomUmp]

Hey all,

The important thing to remember is the intention of the rule; to develop more pitchers/ have managers NOT rely on and overuse one or two.

As long as F1 in question receives mandatory days rest and the game, whether during the days rest or after, it's all good.

Remember, it says "and A game", not multiple games. If F1 misses one game during days rest and one after, then it becomes multiple games.

I fully understand of the reason to implement the rule for saving the kids arm. I am all in favor for that.

What I was wondering is why is the and a game added to the rule. If the rest period has a game within it; then there would be no reason to put and a game, because he/she couldn't pitch anyways.

There just has to be a game between the two times he pitches. It matters not when the game is. The "and a game" part is there to make him take it off even if it is after his rest period.
