Just because you don't like them, however, doesn't mean they shouldn't be an option for others.

Hooray for the checkbox! I too would prefer ties to the dumb T-ball rule (which I never liked in the California League even though I understand it in a development league).
I'd prefer to use the *** rule and end after 13. I think the stats released when they announced the T-Ball rule showed MLB games almost always end within 13 innings, so they're goofing up the stat record for a situation that almost never happens.
