Too Dark?

[dash_riprock]

Some innings take less than 5 minutes, some take a half hour or more. I don't try to estimate if there is enough time left to complete an inning (or half-inning). I just end the game when it gets too dark, whenever that is, and whatever the consequences to either team (or me).

Announce "last inning" at the beginning of an inning, and you will be rewarded with 6 very quick outs and a lot of daylight left. Now it will get stormy. "Last batter" works much better for me.

What about a simple light level indicator? Light detection below a threshold is the official declaration of no more innings to start, or the game is called.

It seems to me that this would be the most consistent and fair approach. Use science.

Who would determine at what foot candle levels the game should be stopped?

Appropriate foot-candles should only be determined by JEA.

Whoever determines the rest of the rules should make this call.
