The GVSLL Official "Light Rule" (Signaling the end of a game due to darkness.)

On the minor and major fields there is a light which comes on when the ambient light reaches a certain level.  The light on the minor field will be the official signal used for the minor field and the major field light will be used for the major field.  When this light comes on the following scenarios will happen:


 *   The batter will complete his/her at bat
 *   If the game is in the top half of the inning the game will end and the score will revert back to the beginning of the inning.
 *   If the game is in the bottom half of the inning and the home team is behind the score will revert back to the beginning of the inning.
 *   If the game is in the bottom half of the inning and the home team is ahead the game will end and the official score will be what the score is at that time.
 *   If the game is in the bottom half of the inning and the game is tied three different outcomes are possible
    *   If the visiting team was ahead at the beginning of the inning then the game ends in an official tie.  Whether or not this game is made up at the end of the season is up to the competition committee.
    *   If the home team was ahead at the beginning of the inning then the game reverts back to the score at the beginning of the inning.
    *   If the game was tied at the beginning of the inning, then the game is a tie and the final score was the score at the beginning of the inning.
