For the second weekend, I took part in a college sponsored
tournament. Both tournaments had four college teams playing RR's[round robins]. In this weekends tournament there were also 38 18U teams. We were utilizing 12 fields. I am not associated with any conference, therefore I don't do college games except in show case and scrimmages.[usually timed games.] In the 18U games utilizing ASA rules. All games seven innings, college and 18U. The average 18U game was 1hr35mins. The average college game was over 2hrs and 15mins. The 40+ mins different was because in NCAA a pitcher is allowed five warm ups but without an allotted time in which to complete. In ASA you have 5 pitches or 1min from the time the last out was recorded. Do you guys doing college have a speed up rule that our UIC was unaware of? She informed us to allow the 5 pitches and not to rush it. Average time between innings seemed to be six to seven minutes X seven innings, you are losing lots of time. How do you guys doing college ball cope with it, or is really not a big deal once conferences start? Just wondering. glen
