Philadelphia Amateur Baseball League Schedule

Sundays, back to back

Every PAB game is on a Sunday, and the fixtures run back to back on the same fields, which is why the time limit is written the way it is: a game still going fifteen minutes before the next one starts is in its final inning -- the current one if the visitors are batting, the next if the home side is. Games get three and a half hours plus a fifteen-minute grace period, and a game that has not reached six innings inside the window is resumed later rather than counted.

Starting late is expensive. A team not ready within fifteen minutes forfeits, and if both are unready both are charged unless they arrange a make-up themselves and pay the umpires for it.

A schedule where one game's overrun eats the next one needs to move in real time. A High Cheese schedule puts each fixture and its field into every player's phone and updates in place, which is the difference between a fifteen-minute grace period and a forfeit.
