7.3 General Provisions — Baseball Rules
General Rules
Baseball games are usually scheduled for 9 innings, but some matches may be designated for 7, 6, 5, or 8 innings.
However, scheduling a game for a specific number of innings does not guarantee that all those innings will be played.

Weather Impact
The game may end early due to weather conditions, and even if all innings are not completed, the official result will stand. Bets are settled based on the official outcome if the match concludes naturally, or voided if suspended and not resumed within 48 hours.
Abandonment (Match Discontinuation)
If the match is abandoned, all unsettled bets are void, unless the match resumes within 48 hours of the official start.
All settled bets remain valid based on the existing result.
Postponement of the Match
If the match is postponed, all bets are void, unless the match is played on the originally scheduled day (local time).
Match Not Played
If starting pitchers are changed, all bets remain valid.
Mercy Rule
In matches where the Mercy Rule applies (i.e., one team gains an unassailable lead), the game may end early, but all bets will be settled based on the final official result.
The early ending does not invalidate bets.
