“May Adopt verbiage

[BigVic69]

Little League rule set
 
Prior to 2020 leagues were using 1hr 30min for 9/10 games (minors).
 
In 2020 little league baseball began to include an actual time of 1hr 45min, but they used the words “may adopt” and then a series of “or” statements.
 
My understanding is that the “may establish” pertains to one of the three “or” statements for game conclusion.
 
However, “may establish” allows for one of these to be true, correct?
 
Ex: no more 1hr 30 min regardless of the choice made.
 
Do you concur?

h. Minor (Player Pitch) and above: A local league may establish that games will consist of six (6) innings [intermediate (50-70) Division/Junior/Senior: seven (7) innings], or meet regulation as outlined in 4.10 and 4.11, or meet a minimum 1 hour and 45-minute time limit. Any inning which has been started prior to the time limit expiring will be completed. No new inning will begin once the time limit has expired.

I concur.  

If a time limit is adopted, it must be at least 1:45 (it can be more) -- "minimum of 1 hour and 45-minute time limit"

Machine/Coach pitch and T-ball are permitted to be shorter.

I think the "or" logic is that a game is a "regulation" game if:

1.  Six innings (or extra-innings) are completed OR

2. It is shortened, but still "regulation", according to 4.10 and 4.11 (called due to weather, darkness, etc after 4 innings) OR

3. Shortened by time limit (if adopted) OR

4. Conceded due to run rule (if adopted).
