Rainout tomorrow

[BuckyIsAB****]

We really need a rainout tomorrow so we can get some rest. Momentum is great but 4 Ws in 2 days is really tough

[msstate7]

They'd have their ace available Tuesday

[Choctaw Dawg]

100 percent chance of rain tomorrow....

[BuckyIsAB****]

They'd have their ace available Tuesday

I think I'd still take the rest. Who the hell is going to pitch a DH tomorrow

[BankerDog]

I've heard they have to have all games completed by 12:00 am on Tuesday. Required to have three days rest between regionals and supers.

[mparkerfd20]

If that's the case we will win the 1st and rainout second and USM goes to Super due to higher seed rules.

[raymond21]

No one needs this to extend till Tuesday. LSU will win their regional and not even pitch their Sunday starter . Pitching on Monday will make pitching next weekend doubtful and Tuesday pitching all but assures that your done for the week . Need a rule change due to the weather, winner takes all for only one game tomorrow

If that's the case we will win the 1st and rainout second and USM goes to Super due to higher seed rules.

Where in the rule book does this "higher seed rule" come from? I've looked and never seen it. I suspect it's just one of those Internet rumors that isn't real.

I've also looked at the year-by-year tournament pages on Wikipedia and can't find a single example of it ever being invoked.

Got a link to this rule?

The Costal Carolina Regional seemed to last until Wednesday due to rain. They had games with dangling innings.

I'm pretty sure they'll move Supers to S-S-M if needed.

Was that their ACE UIC took to the wood shed?

[The Federalist Engineer]

I'll take their Ace vs Bullfog Baseball Magic, but there is a reason you seem to have so much vCash

LSU Sunday guy went into 9th tonite

[Cooterpoot]

The deadline rule was in play for the LSU softball regional. No idea if it applies to baseball. But had LSU gotten rained out, they would have advanced.

It is very easy to get Vcash built up. You do not have to be good at betting and you don't have to be lucky. I have over one Billion in Vcash place on the Will Freeze be coaching in September. No matter how it goes down I will make a bunch of Vcash. I made over three million on the first USA vs MSU game. Go and look how I bet on the game.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Ok - Objective Evidence this is an Urban Myth

Raleigh Regional in 2016

Started on 6/3/16 (Friday) and Ended 6/7/16 (Tuesday) after two complete rainout days

Costal Carolina won this Regional over NC State

No truth to this.

Truth. This is internet rumor. It's really not that hard to find the rulebooks and read it.

It does not.

[msbulldog]

Scooba, you the man!

[Quaoarsking]

So what are the odds we actually play at 1?

[raymond21]

No chance of playing at 1

[Cooterpoot]

Meh...

[Cooterpoot]

Sun is out in Hburg right now.

[I seen it dawg]

I want total chaos. Helps us. The pressure is on usm

[ScoobaDawg]

So what are the odds we actually play at 1?

There is a line moving towards Hburg, its currently 88 miles away but I'm not sure the speed it is moving at and will have to watch to see what else it produces as the sun produces energy.

[Bubb Rubb]

If that's the case we will win the 1st and rainout second and USM goes to Super due to higher seed rules.

There are no such rules in place.

[ScoobaDawg]

Alright after reading the rule book a little more. there is truth about the committee being allowed to pick what team advances.
P.7 of the rule document i previously linked
"If, for unforeseen circumstances, it becomes impossible to play a regional tournament game(s), the committee isauthorized to determine which team in a respective regional shall advance to the super regionals. The inclementweather guidelines for regional competition are listed in this manual."

We would have to get rained out today and tomorrow I would guess for that to happen. Not happening
