Timed Play verus Innings

This gets rid off the problems from teams stalling or trying to get that quick out to play one more. If you go strictly by inning for the younger ages at least you need to play the 5 run limit per inning and have a run rule such as 12/10/08 to prevent those verrrrry long games from happening


Just some thoughts

Don,

My BAD....I did forget to mention that they utilize a 12/10/8 run
rule beginning in the 3rd....What seems to slow down the younger ages
is all the 3-2 counts and fouling off. Local complex rule was in effect
for the batter's keeping one foot in when taking signals or warm-up
swings.
