Saw a lot of discussion in a couple of earlier threads, so here is the clarification
The Thursday-Friday-Saturday series fall under the normal rules of other weekend series
Sunday is not an option period, end of discussion
Saturday is the get-away day for Tennessee, so if two games are played the first game by rule can not start later than 4 p.m. and by rule the second game not start later than 6 p.m.
If you are not playing by 4 p.m. Saturday, the game is canceled
If you play a doubleheader Saturday, both games are seven innings long since that is the normal rule for a Sunday doubleheader around the league
On Friday, you can not start before the scheduled game time ... so if for example, the teams elect to play a doubleheader Friday and not play Saturday, it would be two nine-inning games beginning at 6:30 p.m. .... No new inning of a game may start after 1 a.m. ... so all 18 innings would have to be done by then; however, you could suspend and try to finish the game on Saturday.
However, most likely, the SEC would grant a waiver for an earlier start time if the weather forecast is bad enough
