I wish. We were still in the top of the 2nd inning when 1:15 ran out.

We got time limits and run limits for JV games in our neak of the woods. 5 runs an inning, 1:45 time limit.

We usually have the 5 runs per half inning around here as well. Left up to the coaches to decide that one, and most usually go for it.

I've told my assignor that I do not mind JV games that are followed by a Varsity contest just for that reason. I get to work a game and be home early. I do not want to do double headers anymore. Also down here we now have a 15 run/3 inning mercy rule. I love that. Having so many lop sided games here, that rule makes it bearable. Dragging out long one sided games does no one any good: players, umpires, or fans.

It took us two years to push the "15-after-3" run rule through the FHSAA bureaucracy, but it was worth it!

Some aspects of the FHSAA are good, but they seem all to resistant to some changes that are needed. Still talking softball, the 15 run/3 inning rule was a long time coming. The Nobel Prize to those who fought for it. Next up, I'd like to see the tie breaker rule used. Another Nobel Prize to those who can get that passed.
