THe night before.. but not last night.. heh.. The ULL game is delayed to.. KZUP is showing Gunsmoke now.. hah..
I could be wrong, but is there a rule that states one team cant play 3 games in one day in regional play? If it didnt stop raining would the Tigers have to finish tom? If so, that would leave open the possibility of 3 games in one day. Any shot at this thing not getting done until tuesday?
www.secsports.com The inclement weather policy is as follows: 1. If a game is suspended on Friday or Saturday, the game shall be completed from the point of interruption on the following day prior to the regularly scheduled game. In the event the regularly scheduled game is to be televised, the continued game may be played afterward. Page 3 2. If a suspended game is resumed on Sunday, the regularly scheduled game shall be seven innings. 3. If a suspended game is unable to be completed because of inclement weather and has reached official game status (five innings or more per NCAA Rule 5.6), it will be declared a game. 4. Once a suspended game is resumed, the game will be complete if one team has a lead of 10 or more runs after seven innings of play (NCAA Rule 5.8). 5. If weather prevents playing both the Friday and Saturday games, or if the Saturday game does not begin because of rain, there shall be two seven-inning games on Sunday. If a Friday game is suspended and no games are played on Saturday, the suspended game shall be resumed on Sunday, followed by a seven-inning game. 6. In the event of rain on Friday or Saturday, no game may start after 10 p.m. local time or resume after midnight local time. 7. In the event of a rain-delay prior to the beginning of play on Sunday, the game must begin at least two hours and thirty minutes prior to the visiting team’s scheduled departure time from the field, but no later than 4 p.m. local time to avoid a rain out of the game. (See Departure Time of this section.) If the game begins and is delayed, it must resume by 6 p.m. local time to avoid a rain out of the game. In all instances, departure time takes priority. In no case will a team stay over until Monday to begin or complete a game or series. If the visiting team is not scheduled to leave the host city until Monday and there are no prior travel limitations for the game’s umpires that would dictate departure to enact these deadlines, with Conference approval, it would be permissible to waive the 4 p.m. deadline for the start of a game and a 6 p.m. deadline for the resumption of the game. 8. The umpire-in-chief has sole authority to call the game if conditions become unfit for play.
I just called a friend in Baton Rouge and he said it is not looking good. He said they will probably not play anymore tonight.
