Regional

[RBritt]

Does anybody have a clue what the times will be on the regionals that start in our time zone. For instance, if we host, what would the Friday and Saturday game times look like?

It's going to depend. ESPN is going ALL out this year with regional coverage -- they are going to try to have every single game on tv. I haven't seen any announcements yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they messed with scheduling somewhat to fit it all on tv.

That said, I expect a 6-7PM first pitch on Friday night -- and how we do there will set the rest of the gametimes. This is a general regional format.
FRI
game 1 - 2 vs 3 3:30
game 2 - 1 vs 4 7

SAT
game 3 - loser game 1 vs loser game 2 12 or 3:30
game 4 - winner game 1 vs winner game 2 3:30 or 7
(game 5 can go here but usually doesn't anymore @ 7)

SUN
game 5 - winner game 3 vs loser game 4 12
game 6 - winner game 4(winner's bracket team) vs winner of game 5(loser's bracket team) 3:30

MON
game 7 - replay of game 6(if necessary) 12 or 3:30 or 7 for tv(ESPN loves winner-take-all scenarios)...
