Buckeye 2015 posted:Right...I'm not in GA, but I read it as 120 in a 3 game series (meaning if it went 3 games over 2 days).....the "unless weather" part of it is kind of open ended......I take it to mean that if it goes more than 2 days, the 120 rule is not valid, but what rule do they go to? Sure seems like someone didn't think this thru when they wrote the rules....had to think rain issues would come up
The "normal" pitching rules are:
Pitching restrictions:
(a) Maximum Pitches in One Game: Varsity 110; sub-varsity 90.
(b) Required Rest Periods:
Varsity/Sub-Varsity
1-35 Pitches 0 Days/ 1-24 Pitches 0 Days
36-60 Pitches 1 Day/ 25-44 Pitches 1 Day
61-85 Pitches 2 Days/ 45-64 Pitches 2 Days
86-110 Pitches 3 Days/ 65-90 Pitches 3 Days
Note: A pitcher shall not throw more than 110 pitches (90 for sub-varsity) in a single game or cumulative over a two-day period. A pitcher shall not pitch more than two consecutive days regardless of the pitch count, at which time a minimum 1-day rest period is required. Doubleheaders are considered two separate games and single-game pitch count limitations are in effect. All other rest periods are based on the total pitches thrown.
(c) A pitcher at any level (varsity or sub-varsity) shall be allowed to finish the batter when the pitch count limit is reached during an at bat, but must be replaced immediately when that at-bat ends.
(d) A “Day of Rest” is defined as a calendar day. Example: a varsity level pitcher who reaches the 110-pitch limit on a Tuesday would not be allowed to pitch again until Saturday.
(e) Tabulation of pitch count - This process will be done by an individual registered with a GHSA local association. This official recorder will be paid a one-half game fee plus travel. It will then be the responsibility of the recorder to enter the pitch count information for each school following the completion of the game into the GHSA MIS system.
