Worst SP score differential I've seen was 50+ runs.

In an hour.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Worked a deaf regional that was following the 15 after 5 rule and 75 minutes time limit (they have weird bylaws in some of those regionals) where I had one game where after 75 minutes, it was 68-0, and we just wrapped up the second inning.

Actually, I'm interested in hearing more about this. What kinds of accommodations did y'all have to make in order to call this tourney? There is a difference between hard of hearing ("HH") and deaf, so... How did you make your calls?

Maybe another thread would be a good idea for this particular topic, if you're willing to go down that rabbit hole.
