The Tokyo Big 6 held a special board of directors meeting today and decided to make changes to a portion of their schedule. The season will begin as originally plan (on 4/9), but games on 4/16 and 4/17 will be shifted around as follows:
4/16 - Hosei vs Tokyo
4/17 - Meiji vs Rikkio
4/18 - Rikkio vs Meiji / Tokyo vs Hosei
Game times and extra inning rules were also changed:
On days when there are two games and on the two days the Swallows need the stadium (16th and 17th), games will begin at 10:00. Extra innings for these games will either max out at 12 or will not continue into the next new inning if the game has hit the 3 hour mark (2.5 hour mark for games on the 16th and 17th).
No changes to start times and extra inning rules for games on 5/28 and 5/29.
UPDATE 4/5 @ 11:16am - The Tokyo Big 6 has also stated they will consider further schedule changes if the Yakult Swallows need to play a day game on 5/22 (currently the Swallows first scheduled night game of the season).
