I asked this on eteamz, and didn't get anything that I can use to convince a
couple of managers what they face. I also asked the question on the LL
website's "Ask the Tournament Director" feature, but since they haven't answered
a question since June 30th, my confidence in getting a timely answer is waning.

This Tuesday (7/7), we are resuming a Juniors district pool-play game that was
stopped due to weather last week. In the meantime, both teams played complete
games over the weekend where they used pitchers that now require rest. They
want to know if the resumed game this Tuesday is going to serve as the game-rest
requirement for those pitchers.

A couple of folks on eteamz claim that they were told by Andy K that resumed
games never count as games of rest, no matter how many innings are played.
That's because the first part of the game does count as a game if it goes one
inning, and making the completion of the game another game of rest basically
turns this into two separate games.

So, does anybody have anything official to offer? My DA feels that the resumed
game should count, and I disagree. I feel like I should just tell both managers
that it doesn't count, let them protest, and then deal with it the old-fashioned
way (phone calls to LL HQ).
