So Apparently

[messageboardsuperhero]

There is an NCAA rule that says the regional must be completed by the end of tomorrow (Tuesday). If we win game one and aren't able to play game 2 by the end of Tuesday, then the higher seed automatically advances.

That would be the most M State thing ever.

If we can get game 6 in and win and can't get game 7 in, we would advance.

Why can't they just start regionals on Thursday instead of Friday? All conference tournaments are ended by Sunday afternoon. This is the SOP in the NCAA basketball tournament, and they have done ok with it.

What on that shows you "us winning regional?"

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I believe it's head to head, assuming we win game 1. of the day, which would be game 6, in this case.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

But it wouldnt make it that far.

Its says way before "4gms highest seed". Usm would have played 4 gms a d be the higher seed

 

[8dog]

But 6 games would have been played so the four games is irrelevant

---my question is what is this source? And it stops at monday

I'm good with a single "winner takes all" tomorrow afternoon.

 

[patdog]

That's total regional games played. Right now, we're at 5 games played so USM would advance as the undefeated team. If we play game 6 and win, we would advance with a 1-0 head to head record vs USM. I strongly suspect the NCAA would use their discretion to allow us to play game 7 tomorrow if it came to it though.

Just stop... this rules are NOT correct. that comes from http://robocoach.websitetoolbox.com

Those are not the rules of the baseball regional.

Exactly. The 2017 ncaa baseball champ manual actually does not address this scanario

Yea... it's not clear at all. Just says games can be played on tuesday. and committee does have right to select a team.
Let's get one game in and hope we force a second and if not... Make the Committee make the tough decision.

If those morons at the NCAA had let us play this morning...

 

[8dog]

We have lost 11 pitchers and had 2 starting position players with broken bones. So i imagine this is exactly how we are eliminated

field conditions are now as big an issue. And if that cell in s louisiana hits hburg i dont see how we get it in

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

It looks like it might clear up around 5:30, but only for about 4 hours. So naturally they are going to reschedule this for 8 PM.

 

[thekimmer]

True but the logic listed does make the most sense. The actual results of head-to-head competition in the tournament should trump everything else.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Can they go play somewhere else? Is the weather ok in Pearl?

That would be a fitting end to this crazy season.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Weather map looks clear. If so, get this game started now.

The host manual makes a point of stating that there are not official guidelines to determine a winner--that it is left up to the committee.

 

[57stratdawg]

I was told other sites were being considered on Saturday. Guessing it's a little late for that now.

One other bit of info:

Games can start up to 11 PM local time. If we need a second one, don't be surprised if they try to get it going at 10:59 PM...especially with rain coming tomorrow.
