Just received email from Mike's kids club rescheduling the kids event after final game.

Thurs - 3 innings played
Friday- as scheduled 6pm
Sat - resume Thurs game at 11am then doubleheader with final game at 3:30pm and 7 innings.

First game of doubleheader will probably still be 9 innings but if it goes slow, they plan to end it early so that game 3 starts at originally scheduled time.

Confusing, but Game 2 and 3 remain unchanged.

Gotta roll Poche tonight then, right? Wouldn't that be the smarter route then go Johnny Wholestaff in the 7 inning game?

Think they announced that Poche would go instead. Heard it briefly on radio.

Why would they not continue the Thursday game first? This is dumb.

TV - Game 1 could actually get chopped into three pieces. Hard stop at 2:30 PM tomorrow. So if Game 1 is not completed at that time, it will be finished after Game 3.

How does it work with the double headers and tickets? I got tickets to game 3. Can we go to the game 1 replay?

It will definitely be 9 innings, even if they have to stop it before game 3 is played and resume it Saturday night after game 3 is finished.

Fans were scanned out of Game 1 last night. So same tickets will be used at 11:00 AM tomorrow. All else is the same. Stadium emptied between games.

If they play Friday as scheduled, then resume the Thursday game, why would they still need a doubleheader? Wouldn't that be four games? Or are they counting the resumption of the Thursday game plus the one more 7-inning game AS the doubleheader?

They should be finishing game 1 this morning.

Hypothetical worst-case scenario - we lose tonight and Saturday morning. Gotta throw Lange Saturday night right? Have to win one.

I exited on first base side gates and they were telling everyone to scan if they wanted to come back to the Game 1 completion. Lines were backed up pretty long.

I've got to think that if you show your ticket they'll let you in.

This is right, the wording of the OP is a bit confusing. First the remaining 6.5 innings of Game 1 will be played on Saturday at 11 AM, then Game 3 as originally scheduled at 3:30. I'm not sure of the exact rule, but the rest of Game 1 is enough to count as part of a doubleheader, so Game 3 is shortened to 7 innings by an SEC rule.

Same here. It took about 10-15 minutes to go through the 'scan out' line.

Since the game was not resumed the same night, I'm pretty sure all tickets, scanned out or not, will be valid Saturday morning when the game resumes.

We left after they officially called it and it was still raining. There were no marshals at the home-plate gate.

I'm pretty sure your ticket will be accepted at the resumed game tomorrow morning.

If it's not, there might be a riot because I estimate fewer than 10% of the fans leaving when I left were getting scanned out.

Seems like this needs to be brought out at least once a year. From the SEC Media Guide

quote:

FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY SERIES
1. If a game is suspended/postponed on Thursday or Friday, the game shall be completed from the point of interruption on the following day prior to the regularly scheduled game. In the event the regularly scheduled game is televised,the suspended/postponed game may be rescheduled, in consultation with the conference office, prior to, or following, the regularly scheduled game, whichever allows the best opportunity to complete such game without interruption.

2. Televised Games Affected by Weather
C. For games televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU
(1) If a game is suspended/postponed on Thursday, and the regularly scheduled Friday game is televised by ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU, the regularly scheduled televised Friday game must start at its published start time. If a suspended/postponed game is resumed/started prior to the start of the regularly scheduled televised game, that game must be stopped after the completion of a full inning one hour prior to the start of the scheduled televised game and resumed following the completion of the regularly
scheduled televised game.
(2) If a game is suspended/postponed on Friday, and the regularly scheduled Saturday game is televised by ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU, the regularly scheduled televised Saturday game must start at its published start time. If a suspended/postponed game is resumed/started prior to the start of the regularly
scheduled televised game, that game must be stopped after the completion of a full inning one hour prior to the start of the scheduled televised game and
resumed following the completion of the regularly scheduled televised game.

D. For games televised on the SEC Network
(1) If a game is suspended/postponed on Thursday, and the regularly scheduled Friday game is televised by the SEC Network, best efforts should be made to start the regularly scheduled televised Friday game on the SEC Network at its published start time. (The suspended/postponed game should be scheduled at a time which provides the regularly scheduled televised game a reasonable chance of starting at its published time.) If a resumed/rescheduled game runs into a regularly scheduled televised SEC Network game time, the resumed/rescheduled game should be completed without interruption.
(2) If a game is suspended/postponed on Friday, and the regularly scheduled Saturday game is televised by the SEC Network, best efforts should be made to start the regularly scheduled televised Saturday game on the SEC Network at its published start time. (The suspended/postponed game should be scheduled at a time which provides the regularly scheduled televised game a reasonable chance of starting at its published time.) If a resumed/rescheduled game runs into a regularly scheduled televised SEC Network game time, the resumed/rescheduled game should be completed without interruption.
(3) Depending on the circumstance, the resumed/rescheduled game or the regularly scheduled game may begin/end on the SEC Network Alternate Channel or on SEC Network+.

3. Length of Games
A. All games played on Thursday and Friday should be scheduled for nine innings. If a suspended game is resumed on Saturday, the regularly scheduled game shall be seven innings.
B. If weather prevents playing both the Thursday and Friday games, or if the Friday game does not begin because of rain, there shall be two seven-inning games on Saturday. If a Thursday game is suspended and no games are played on Friday, the suspended game shall be resumed on Saturday, followed by a seven-inning game.
C. If a suspended game is unable to be completed because of inclement weather and has reached official game status (five innings or more per NCAA Rule 5.8),
it shall be declared a game.
D. Once a suspended game is resumed, the game shall be complete if one team has a lead of 10 or more runs after seven innings of play (NCAA Rule 5.8).

4. Restart Times
A. In the event of rain on Thursday or Friday, no game may start after 10:00 p.m. local time or resume after midnight local time.
B. On Saturday, all curfew times will be waived in order to play the game on Saturday. No games will be continued to Sunday, however, teams can stay over until Sunday to get the game completed on Saturday.
C. In the event of Saturday doubleheaders, games will be seven innings each.

5. Authority to Play Doubleheaders
A. If weather forecasts on Thursday or Friday morning call for a high occurrence of inclement weather on Saturday, the home team with approval of the visiting team may request permission from the Conference office to play a doubleheader on Friday.
B. Approval of a prospective Friday doubleheader shall be limited to circumstances where there is a high likelihood that weather will not permit a game to be played on the final day of the series. This does not apply for possible inclement weather on Thursday or Friday of a weekend series.
