1 after 7 is, though, my favorite.

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.......
