[ASA] Tiebreakers and Defensive Conferences

[Crabby_Bob]

Perhaps intentionally, the tiebreaker rule (5.11) and defensive conferences rule (5.7.B) are written independently of each other.

Scenario: JO ball and time has expired. In the sixth inning, the first tiebreaker, the defense takes their second defensive conference of the game. By rule, it would appear they could take another defensive conference in the sixth without penalty of having their pitcher removed or save the conference for a possible seventh inning. In all extra innings (the eighth and beyond) the defense gets one conference per inning.
