Run rules

• 10 ahead after 4
• 8 ahead after 5

Men's FP was 8 after 5 only. I can't comment on the SP rules. I haven't worked very many tournaments with a setup like that since 2005. It worked very well for keeping a tournament on time instead of dragging blowouts into the 4th or 5th innings.

Most of the ball I work is either under NCAA codes (8 after 5) or Arizona HS rules (15 after 4; 10 after 5).

For Arizona HS play, the 15 after 4 has to be agreed to by the losing coach after that team has had four at-bats.
