Home team will be considered official book and will be responsible for writing official game start time given by the home plate umpire.

"NO GAME" Rule:  If a Babe Ruth Division game fails to reach the regulation minimum 5 innings played it is not a regulation game and must be replayed as a new game. If a game is called before it has become a regulation game, the umpire shall declareit “No Game.” According to baseball Rule 4.10 (e) if it is declared “No Game” by the umpire, no records (pitching or otherwise) are kept and pitching eligiblity, etc., is intact as it was prior to the beginning of the “No Game” situation. It is as if no pitch was thrown, no ball hit or caught.
