Why All the Ties?
I'm new to Pro Yakyu, and I'm curious as to why there are tie ballgames so frequently? What's the limit on innings played?

Thanks, hudd.

The limit is 12 innings.

The reason for the 12 inning limit is because the majority of Japanese people depend on trains to get them places. Trains stop running after midnight, so they have to keep games short for people making commutes. I've almost missed the final train a couple times. I imagine it is not fun at all.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
