Just wanted to see if we can get a discussion going in some issues that came up at the tournament.

7-0 scores for defaults. Considering we have a 10 run limit, I think awarding +7win and -7loss is excessive for a default.

Ties are not allowed to stand, but this is the second time I've seen them at the tournament. They in effect become wins for both teams in the standings. I think we should have some other method to declar a winner. Perhaps whoever has the higher season standings get's the win?

Two potential solutions regarding ties:

1. Assuming there was no time to play tie-breakers, then the score would revert to the last complete inning at which the score was not tied. I would suggest rules regarding the home team leading would still be in force (e.g. if the home team scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning, but only 2 were needed to get ahead, then the home team wins with a +1).

2. Allow ties and use points in order to determine standings after the round robin. I know, that's not how baseball is traditionally done, but. . .
