Trying to understand? its a suggestion to be there 30 minutes before GAME TIME, yet forfeit time is at the suggestion time? makes no sense. I feel forfeit should be at game time. Sounds like had 15 minutes to field team to me. All money sponsors spend to get team there, should be clearer rules.


Yet I have witnessed at game time, teams take the field and allowed to warm up 15 minutes mote. Its unreal.

We were playing in Irish Deli in alabama years ago. Games were 4 hours behind at least. I hadnt noticed or was not told that no games were scheduled from 3 to 7 on the hours until 30 minutes before our games was scheduled at 7. We thought earliest play was 930 or 10 earliest. i frantically got someone to go nto hotel to round everyone up. I had lineup turned in 5 minutes early with 3 coaches and 2 sponsors in it. Other team had no idea that if they won flip and chose vistor they would have got forfeit. My players wer running in npark as 5th batters was making 3rd out. sub in 6 players and took field.

Hit 7 homeruns in row in bottom 7th to win!!!!


We also waited over 45 minutes in final winners bracket for other team to show in ISA world in taylor michigan. Ask if wanted forfeit , I said no.
