We also go with the 1 after 7 rule... Yuk, yuk.

I've said 1 after 7 before and people just look at me like, "uh... well ah nevr hurdathatwun. Zit new?"

Texas only requires that schools use the 10 after 5 rule, but allows districts to include the 15 after 3.

1 after 7 is, though, my favorite.

How about one after 6 1/2?

I worked a HS tournament a few weeks ago. They had mercy rules and time limits in effect. Since inclement weather was forecast for the weekend, they also published alternate mercy rules and game time limits to be implemented if necessary. It became necessary....

Time limit - 1:15
Game length - 5 innings
Mercy rules - 8 after 3, 6 after 4, 4 after 5

We ended up changing the last one.......

I've said that every now and then. I had one coach who stayed at the plate after our conference was over ask me to explain that one to him.

Minnesota--10 after 5 with no tie breaker. Also, games that are not official and need to be stopped (generally for weather) are suspended and will restart from the point of interruption.

Nebraska ---- 12 after 3 (or 2 1/2), 10 after 4 (or 3 1/2), 8 after 5 (or 4 1/2)

How are you paid for resumed games?

By check.
Oh, you meant how much. Depends on whether more than 3 innings.

10 after 5 in Ohio...plus, he have this state-adopted rule:

Any game may also end when both head coaches and the plate umpire mutually agree to shorten and terminate the game.

This can be used for any score, at any point in the game. I think I've only had it kick in once, when it was something like 20-0 after three innings on a cold wet evening. Sounds good on paper (we're ending early!), but those three innings still took almost two hours.

It depends. I know some associations have per inning charges. The association I am manager of kind of plays it by ear. Depends on travel, if they are going to make it up as part of a partial doubleheader and how many innings we need to work in the makeup game.

In the metro area, if we arrive at a site and don't start, we get 50% of the game fee. If we throw at least one pitch and don't finish, we get 67%. If we return to finish a suspended game, we get 67%.

For some reason, some schools either don't know that or don't agree with it and they do whatever they feel like doing - which is usally short changing us.

The 'travel fee' for showing up and the game doesn't paid - except for forfeits of course - in our backyard in SE NYS is $30.

One pitch - full fee - although, of course we are 'suggested' not to do the one pitch and leave - HINT

in varsity to finish a suspended game, sometimes a full fee, sometimes not.

MN- your example is why scheduling and payment should NEVER be handled by individual schools - WAY too much opportunity for monkey business. WE may have to wait for our fees to work its way through a system, but the idea that our assigning agency is fairly independent, and that we have real contracts with them makes for smoother sailing in the long run, IMHO...
