Some of the questions posed in the article from 3 weeks ago have since been answered by the state. The punishment for a pitcher going over the limit or using a pitcher without giving him the proper rest is $500 and a forfeit (if the team won the game). Some questions still are unanswered. Do coaches protest to umpires during games if a pitcher goes over limit or are complaints sent only to Chapel Hill only after a game is complete? I can see the big problem coming when teams disagree over tracking numbers, with one team having a pitcher under limit and one having a pitcher over limit. I wouldn't think there would be huge discrepancies - maybe a couple pitches over the course of a game. Inevitably, someone will have a situation with significant differences in numbers (say 10 pitches). I'm sure the NCHSAA is looking forward to these potential headaches.Here's is an article with some comparisons to other states. Follow up will be reactions from local coaches.

Me too. Last year's game was fun and important to ER because you guys are a quality team.kidd...look forward to see you guys March 10th at East Forsyth
Me being the guy that stood next to your son every pitch while he was on defense, I was frustrated, but other than that, yes it was a good game. Not often do you see 2 complete games, both under 100 pitches and done in about an hour and a half. Good luck the rest of the season!Not a bad baseball game huh?
Dang it was cold.
Are you at a large school? I was wandering how it will be for the smaller schools that doesn't have 18-20 on a roster, maybe not even have a JV team. I think it will have an affect. More ridiculous scores?Nothing different honestly...just making sure we are on the same page as far as pitches per inning. The game is still the same...I have seen some guys stay around the 60 pitch mark so they can throw again in 2 days, but other than that, its still baseball
