Suspended games

By Tangotiger, 09:52 AM

Isn’t it obvious that the playoffs deserve different rules for suspended games?  Rule 4.12 is the rule you want, if you want to decipher the legalese.  Here’s my rule:

If it’s a playoff game, and there’s been 1 mm of precipitation accumulated in the last hour, then the game is delayed.  If you cannot resume within 60 minutes, then the game is suspended.  Any other scheduled game between the two teams is pushed off until this game is completed.

Now, what’s wrong with my layman’s rule?
