The option that we don't have is the way that MLB historically treated ties - i.e. tied games that were called (usually because of darkness) would go into the books as ties. No limit on innings, just a limit imposed by the rotation of the earth. I'm running a league right now that is in 1901 and I have a 15-inning limit on games. I think that's a reasonable approximation of the MLB rule at the time. I've been getting about 3-5 ties in a single season for 16 teams.
