C. Both Specified Pitchers - If starting pitchers are not exactly as listed, your selection will be deemed (NO ACTION).

Exception: Overnight pitcher changes

It will be the handicappers responsibility to notify TSM if your overnight pitcher did not start. The only games TSM will grade for pitcher changes will be the games where there is an actual pitcher change from the days starting line up.

2. In the event there is a pitcher change prior to the game, money odds may be adjusted.
If one scheduled pitcher starts against an unscheduled pitcher, "ACTION" may be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher.

3. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.

4. Game winners and losers are official after 9 innings of play UNLESS the home team is leading after 8 1/2 innings.

IF A GAME GOES PAST 5 INNINGS and is subsequently called, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning. (EXCEPT in a case where the home team scores to take the lead in the bottom half of the inning in which game is called the runs do count)

5. TOTALS - OVER/UNDER SELECTIONS

In the event of a pitcher change prior to the game, a totals play is deemed "NO ACTION" only if handicapper has boxed the pitchers Or if there is no line posted for the total after the pitcher change. A game must go the regulation 8 1/2 or 9 innings. If the game goes past regulation innings, and is subsequently suspended or postponed, it is considered "ACTION" and the winner or loser will be determined by the score at the time the game is called.
