hrothgar Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Interesting example from this year's Little League World Series Quoting King Kaufman "I'm sure you heard about the fiasco in the New England regional final, where the Vermont manager realized he'd failed to give a kid enough playing time, an offense punishable by forfeit, so he ordered his team, which was beating New Hampshire, to let them tie the game, so there'd be time to get the kid in. The New Hampshire coach realized what was happening and ordered his kids to swing at bad pitches and not advance past third base. New Hampshire succeeded in losing, which means it won by forfeit.

kenrexford Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I've seen some bridge hands played like this, but I'm not sure the reasoning was the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 My lunchtime crowd was talking about this game yesterday. One of them said that the umpire noticed that both sides were playing weirdly -- the pitcher was intentionally throwing balls so the batters would walk, and the batters were swinging at everything. So the umpire cancelled the game, and it was replayed a couple of days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
