[IBL] Rules Proposal...

[Mike Monostra]

I guess I'll bring up the question no one else has (surprisingly) brought
up yet ... wouldn't adding the placement runner in extra innings cut down
on the number of long games?

It's too late to talk about adding the placement runner for IBL 2023,
especially because it's not coded into GRS and would require a new version.
But it's something that I think we should at least address or vote on down
the line since this is a permanent MLB rule now.
