We had two games where teams violated either single game pitch counts or recovery times. Those games resulted in a forfeit. One of those games was forfeited when a pitcher went one pitch over the limit.
We have since decided to use the federation rule, rather than forfeit games. It seems that is the fairest way to deal with it while still protecting arms.
Jerry, I commend you for voluntarily taking on this extra effort and headache. For years all we've heard is that pitch counts are too difficult, messy and expensive to administer in travel team tournaments. PG is leading the way and proving that it can be done if you have the will. Thank you.
To be fair, though, PG can provide a lot of services that the vast majority of tournaments and leagues can not. Your local Babe Ruth league just doesn't have the staff that PG has, nor the infrastructure in place to do the kind of things PG can do.
