You must contest a rule violation during the game. Contesting a rule violation after the game will not change the outcome of the game. Example; if a pitcher has exceeded the innings pitched rule, the opposing coach must call time and contest the pitcher while he is on the mound. The moment the next pitcher steps on the mound, the opposing coach loses the opportunity to contest the rule violation. If a pitcher is found in violation, the violating team will forfeit the game.
