Interestingly, when most venues put a time limit it says no inning shall begin after so and so. They don't address the fact that if the appropriate number of half innings have not been completed you do not have a complete game. You have a suspended game by rule. I happily ignore that quandary in all of my time limit games that haven't reached the proper half inning.
