one interesting thing came up. as i was looking into @erick Melon 's question regarding the resumption of suspended games, it looks like the MLB rule changed after COVID. bleedcubbieblue.com. As far as I can tell, that's in the MLB rules 7.01e and 7.02a(5), saying the game "shall be resumed and completed." (this previously didn't included games called before they are regulation games and suspended due to weather). Obviously, we technically inherit their rule change. Is this what we want?

my recommendation is perhaps not to inherit it because it is much harder for use to keep track of games (batting order, substitutions, etc.) than a major league game. i also prefer the incentive to not start games we know won't finish.

“ Way way back in the day, we would resume games, but the line up would never be the same. Resuming games usually was a bigger pain in the ass. When we did resume them, it was usually done on a weekend where there is more time” - Jeff Panagopoulos
