Game 1: 5:45 to 8:05 p.m. (2 hours, 20 minutes) - (If game starts late, game still ends at 8:05. If game is not played to 5 innings, the game will be suspended and resumed from the point of stoppage unless 12 runs or more separate the teams. In that case, team leading gets a victory and team trailing gets a loss).
Game 2: 8:20 to 10:35 p.m. (2 hours 15 minutes) - (If game starts late, game still ends at 10:35 with same stipulatins as in Game 1.)
These time frames give the umpires 15 minutes between games to change and down something to get them through Game 2.
Umpires are to stop their game and walk off the field at 8:05 and 10:35, respectively. Game 1 gets the extra 5 minutes for traffic considerations.
Also, 35 division managers please and I stress the word please make sure the lights are turned off. The last 2 weeks 2 outfield banks of lights have been left on. I was contacted both times by the field guy who informed me that if this keeps occurring then we will not be permitted to use the field anymore. Its real simple! When you turn the lights off wait in the parking lot for 10 to 15 min to make sure the lights dont go back on. Once you notice that they didnt then you can leave. I appreciate the help with this matter as the 35 division cant afford to lose anymore fields.
