I would appreciate any practical alternatives, other than time limits.
Especially if they help with very high scoring that takes until the 5th to end.

In NH, our state adopted game ending procedure is a 12-run rule. Some middle-school games have a time limit as well as the 12-run rule.

So in the top of the first, the visitors score 8 runs. I'm thinking we might get out early. Then the home team scores 9. Looking like a long afternoon...

Unless the state does something, what other options might there be? Three inning games?

We learn every game! Never be bigger than the game! Check that ego in before getting to the field. Every team and kid deserves a good crew. Help the younger officials because most of us will be gone! The site is a tool to offer more help, rather than to criticize!

Nebraska uses the same 12/3; 10/4; 8/5 rule in high school as they have adopted for ASA USA JO FP play. JV is on a 1:45 timer.

I think USA JO is 15/3; 12/4; 8/5.

The way I remember this is 15-3 = 12; 12-4 = 8; then 8/5.

Too often tournaments alter the run ahead rule to suit their time frames.

Are you saying Nebraska uses the version you stated across the state? Consistency is a nice thing.
