However; There is a 31 minute grace period with a run being accessed at game time & 1 run every 15 minutes thereafter. (With 31 minutes that is up to 3 runs) The forfeiting team is responsible for paying both umpires, which will come out of your Forfeit Bond, the offending team must submit a new Bond before their next regularly scheduled game. No Exceptions: El' Presidente' "Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly; keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time.

Another is awarded at the 15th and 30th minute. SO a 1:00 game beginning at 1:30 has a 3-0 score. Per the umpire's association, the game becomes a 9-0 forfeit at the 31st minute (or 7-0 in a scheduled 7-inning game). If the game actually starts prior to the 31st minute, the time limit is in effect as of the scheduled start time. NO time is added due to a late start.   Thank you Pete, R/Tim El' Presidente' "Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly; keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time.
