your honest opinion. Do y'all like the format? We previously had a round robin format. I'm pretty excited.
The ACC has a double elimination tournament this year much like the SEC. I need

What do you think? We waltzed through your park on the way to the CWS finals last year and seemed to have plenty of arms.
From my experience, I'd say its a good warm up for
being able to sweep a super regional in Charlottesville

It's a good tournament for the SEC. But let's be honest, does playing a dead last duke or wake forest compare to a dead last Tennessee or auburn in the SEC? You guys should let VA, Clemson, FL State, Miami, North Carolina and NC State in a conference tourney.
That's a good thing. Nothing screams post season play like FSU against Boston College.
Only Top 8 make the tournament. BC has not made it since they began ACC play I don't think.
Mid week pitchers tend to get a lot of work

As a bulldog fan that has lived in Tallahassee for years (and seen many an ACC baseball tournament), the round robin format is miserable and pointless. Double-elimination is much better, because it seems less like a random number generator as far as tourney champs go. Given how often the SEC beats that ACC-*** in the postseason, I'd say there is likely little to no advantage to round robin from a burnout standpoint.
Cool, that's sounds pretty fun. Love the double elimination format. The round
robin was ridiculous and anti-climactic.

Truth is
You won't do anything to stress your best pitchers,
unless you absolutely must.
That has been my observation.

I can see that. But, that doesn't sound as cool though
I'd like to see every team put forth their best effort by playing their best pitchers.

Good question... I can actually answer the question without proclaiming how much better the SEC is than the ACC... Like most in this thread... I like the double elimination because it's more baseball to watch and t's a great venue during a slow sports time* I think Virginia has a great team and could really make a run this year, your bats are outstanding. I don't think single elimination has a place in baseball.
