I agree, however most teams play 3 games a week with one to four days between games. Under the GHSA pitch count rule a player can throw pitches and not require a day of rest, so if for some reason, day 1 played a single game and the DH (game 2 and "if" game) were played on day 2, a player could throw 35 pitches day one and come back and have their 110 pitches on day 2. Or if they had to stretch the three games across three days, a pitcher could throw 35, 35, 110, so 180 over three days. GHSA tried to think ahead to create the combined 120 to combat this.
Why not just make that part of the regular rule, then? I'm sure there are early season tourneys, rained out games rescheduled, etc. that bring around the same problem in the regular season occasionally.
