well then in that case, that does seem to be a bit much.

I know when i was calling a 14U little league tournament last week that no inning could start after 12:00 and would have to be resumed the next day, so that I'm not sure about.

there was atleast 200ppl there watching and 3 games going on..it almost seems like a 24hr marathon fundraiser or something

yea that could be possible. Probably some sort of church event or something along those lines. Sort of like a lock in or something like that but out on the fields...wouldnt have minded doing that from time to time

haha yea tell me about it. and if they had umpires, poor souls

three times i have had to call 11 games in 2 days. those 24 hours of being on the ball field definately took a toll on the body and im still pretty much a kid lol
