[JRA Qld2]

I believe Padres got up 6-5 in after 11 innings vs Windsor. Debert through 9 and Bakker earning the win in relief.

Exciting finish at Holloway last night but overall was an average quality game with too many errors and ordinary hitting. Windsor will find it hard to fight back on Sunday after being in front from the the first and having a 3 run lead with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th. Credit to Padres though for fighting right to the end in a game they rarely looked like winning. The game was won in the bottom of the 11th (last due to curfew) after a lead off walk, base hit and then scoring on an overthrow from a bunt.

i didn't think they was extra ininings in sql a grade or any other grade besides major a?

[JRA Qld2]

There shouldn't be? If it's a tied game, top team goes through.

Controversy!
Redlands def Rangers 11-1 in PL B
Rapids def Rangers 5-0 in PL A
Rapids def Rangers 3-2 in PLA A game 2
Mudgee 9 All Stars 7 in game 2 (All Stars won Friday I believe)

and I think the score in the 2nd Padres Windsor game was 6-5 to Windsor

[JRA Qld2]

I wasn't at the game, and didn't hear about the game until I saw this on the internet.
I'm not complaining on behalf of Padres, I don't know if the manager or anyone else from Redcliffe actually know anything about finals not going to extra innings.

I just know a similar situation happened a couple of years ago. By law 3.60 states that the duration of semi finals in Major B and below (including SQL A) shall be two hours and 3.61 states that a team will only play for a result in the Grand Final.

So why was their extra innings played? I haven't heard any complaints from anyone from Redcliffe, so maybe there was a perfectly valid reason why extra innings were played. I wasn't there.

[bronco]

So another tricky call by BQ coming up. By the rules the game should not have gone extra inning so yes, very interesting. I'm sitting on the fence though, both teams accepted the result, however the rule is there in black and white and the game probably should have been a draw.
44, don't think there is no controversy just because your team won.
If the shoe was on the other foot, what would your club do?

In Major A Windsor beat Redcliffe 6-5. Errors and walks seemed to be the way the teams scored their runs in a fairly sub-standard game. PJ Bevis hit the winning rbi in the top of the 9th as well as pitching the last inning for the win.
Game 3 Tuesday night at Holloway.

bronco and JRA.

First off, show us this rule about SQBL A finals.?

Secondly, the PH Team SQBL A beat Padres fair and square. with both Umps from Padres. Are they going to cry girly style? or come back hard V PH next game.

3rdly. I saw the whole game and it was great, without giving a Rat's Rectum about the result, it was good quality game and Padres Pitcher was awesome but PH deserved the win.

Is SQBL A Coach making any official complaint or moving on ?

[JRA Qld2]

Like I said, I have no idea about the SQBL A coach, or whether the team is going to go 'cry girly style'.

I had to officiate a B-Grade game today, so went through the by-laws for semi-finals before today in case of a situation such as a level game.

3.59 Major League and Pacific League A Grade finals games will be nine innings. All Major League and Pacific League A Grade finals shall be played over a best of three games series, with the team winning two games becoming the winning team. The second game of any three game series shall be played on a Sunday, weather permitting.

3.60 All other leagues and grades will be two hours in the semi finals.

3.61 For Under 16 Div 1, Under 20 and senior Grand Finals other than Major League and Pacific League A Grades:

a. All games shall be seven innings games.
b. If tied at the end of seven innings, the game shall be played until a result
is achieved, but to a maximum of nine innings.
c. If still tied at nine innings, the result of the game shall be declared in
favour of the team with the better head to head results throughout the
season. Should this prove to be impossible then the team with the
highest competition standing will be declared the winner.
d. In the event of inclement weather, three innings shall constitute a complete
game.
e. If the game is a called off due to inclement weather, BQ will reschedule the game
for the following week.
f. In the event of the rescheduled Grand Final then being called off, the process in
(c) above applies.


So the above states that only a grand final will go extra innings?

Isn't it the umpires running the show? if they dont know the rules what are they doing umpiring?? if they,being home teams umpires, decide to play on after the 2 hours of play for a result them the pardres should suck it up and take the lose on the chin and play harder to make the GF. what a dog act it would be to protest about a lose that u were willing to play for either way (win or lose) because it didnt go your way.
JRA It would be pardres "crying girly stlye" for putting in the protest. If your team made the GF with a tough win over the top team and then to find out they dont like the result so lets see what we can do to change it i bet you wouldn't be to happy. i belive redcliff thought they would win this game to go though and got a bit of a shock when PH held there ground and took the win. Yes the by laws say what they say but when there was 2 official blues which were supplied by the home team (redcliffe) which asked the scorers what to do and decided to play for a result then the end result should stand. I believe there was no official protest written on the scorecard between both scorers so any protest would be null and void?

[JRA Qld2]

wako and RF44, I'm only restating the rules, I'm not saying whether the result should or shouldn't stand. Can I make that clear? I was not a player or coach of this team today, I didn't even see the game. All I saw was the comment about the game going into overtime and replied to it.

What I am saying is the umpire has made the wrong ruling on the game. Whether they were Redcliffe umpires or not is irrelevant, umpires are neutral no matter who supplies them.

If you want my personal opinion, I think the Redcliffe team shouldn't and probably won't protest. If they're good enough, they would have won in extra innings and will probably have another shot in two weeks.
