Does anybody like drop dead??? They're the worst.
Luckily, we don't see too many drop dead rules. Often finish the inning, with a hard stop to keep on schedule. (90 minutes finish the inning, but hard stop at 1:45 or something like that) Anything below 90 minutes has always made me feel that the money was more important than the game. But it seems like 75-80 minutes is pretty standard??? Involved in running a couple of tournaments and just wondering what people think. I suppose the younger the players, the fewer the innings you get in...so you may only play 3-4 innings in a 90 minute-finish the inning game...which then seems too short...unless you are watching.
I HATE drop deads. We played a top 5 national team last month and ump stopped game with dd at bat, full count plus 2 fouls. We lucked out not having that ump again after I called him a cleaning tissue of one's rear end.
