What time can tickets be purchased and gates open for opening game at 4pm? Thanks!
2:00? I will be at the ballfield well before then.

No better host anywhere or any sport than David Limbaugh.
Thank you for the kind words! Hope you are doing well!!!

No opening ceremonythank you, is there opening ceremonies at the state tourney?

Welcome Greenback, Loretto, Gordonsville and Huntingdon to WT Jones Field If you have any questions please let me know.

I like the Georgia system. Simple and straight forward.
Start our regular season 1 week earlier (if Kentucky and Georgia can do this, so can Tennessee)
16 districts send the top 2 teams to the post-season. No district tournaments.
5 rounds, best 2 out of 3
April 28 (DH), April 29 if necessary - Regional Semi-finals
May 5(DH), May 6 if necessary - Regional Finals
May 12(DH), May 13 if necessary - Sectional Semi-finals
May 19(DH), May 20 if necessary - East Sectional / West Sectional Finals
May 25,26,27 if necessary - State Finals in M'boro
One week b/t rounds gives pitchers time to recover, but 3 games in 2 days prevents teams with only 1 pitcher from advancing to the state (like they can now).
Championship series of A, AA, and AAA on a neutral site, all games at MTSU, played on the same day, would be great in my opinion.
Alabama too.....

Good Luck to Blackman and Stewarts Creek tonight! #7AAA

Lol at travel! Harpeth has 3 AA schools closer to them than anybody in their district and the DII schools really make use of the Bristol-Memphis highway.
I think we have to show T$$AA what a money maker a different format would be and get some coaches to think just a little outside of the 'we've always done it like this' box. It is all about developing a pitching staff rather than riding one kids arm.
Coaches are not the problem. TBCA is on board. Have been for several years now. They don't like system in Division 1...

I've hated the current format for years, so almost anything that doesn't have a meaningless seeding game would be an improvement. Likewise to portions of the post season being single elimination, portions double elimination along with the Wednesday game that doesn't accomplish anything but provide rest for the #1 pitcher.
1. It starts with allowing the districts to determine their own post season format including automatic bids for regular season champs. There needs to be a uniform district tournament format that everyone must follow.
2. Once the region participants are decided, I like the double elimination region or substate tournament. It is an early indicator of what is needed at the state level rather than riding one arm. Single elimination games promote arm injuries. The pitch count/days rest only marginally help.
3. Another idea is a super regional where 2 regions are combined for one big tournament and the winner goes to state. It's an 8 team double elimination tournament just like the state tournament. A one horse show will not be able to survive. Best pitching staff should win and the lopsided games are at this level rather than at state. Hey T$$AA! More $$$!
The 8-team super regional will be shot down because A and AA teams will have too much travel according to some and rain at one location will have a bigger impact others will say.... We could go NO district tournaments like Alabama and other places, finish 1st or 2nd in your district or you season is over. But district tournaments are fun and if your SS and #1 were out for basketball or injured half the season it is fun to be playing with a clean slate.....
-
Can someone summarize the new pitch count rules? CPA threw their #1 for 4 innings of no hit ball and maybe 9-10 Ks (I lost track in the 4th).
-
My biggest fear this year is that a team will ride that one arm on Monday and Friday, get to Murfreesboro, and after he throws his start, we may see a lot of crooked numbers?
-
That time of year again. As some of you old-timers here know, I have been trying to get TSSAA to change the post-season format of baseball for well over a decade now. I have TBCA on board.
Issue: 1 pitcher gets you to Spring Fling if you can get out of your district. He just has to win on Monday and Friday of region and substate.
Problem: You make it to Spring Fling and need a lot more pitching (witness some of the scores of games over the years)
Compounding the Problem this Year: New Pitch Count Rules
The Limbaugh-Powers Plan:
Take AAA for Example, Regions 1 and 2
Odd Year So Odd Districts Host
(We move regular season opening up a week)
Last Friday and Saturday was the region tournament
Region 1 At Dobyns Bennett
G1 Friday 4:00 Morristown East vs Dobyns Bennett
G2 Friday 6:30 Tennessee vs Jefferson County
G3 Saturday 10:00am Loser G1 vs Loser G2
G4 Saturday 12:30pm Winner G1 vs Winner G2 - Winner Advances to Host Substate
G5 Saturday 3:00PM Winner G3 vs Loser G4 - Winner Advances and travels to Substate
Region 2 at Karns
G1 Friday 4:00 Farragut vs Karns
G2 Friday 6:30 Gibbs vs Maryville
G3 Saturday 10:00am Loser G1 vs Loser G2
G4 Saturday 12:30pm Winner G1 vs Winner G2 - Winner Advances to Host Substate
G5 Saturday 3:00PM Winner G3 vs Loser G4 - Winner Advances and travels to Substate
This Week Best 2-of-3 Thursday and Friday - Winner to Spring Fling
This gives each teams' #1 more rest. He Goes Friday, Thursday and Tuesday. Not Monday, Friday and Tuesday.
This ensures the best TEAM with deep pitching makes it to Spring Fling
Imagine the crowds at a true Region Tournament. No more 1-and-done games and win-sell-cokes-lose-buy-gas games....
What do ya think?

Spring Scrimmage Friday, May 12th, at Tomahawk Stadium vs Bradley Central

A 7 team district is taylor made for an 8 team bracket with the #1 seed getting a bye. Even if you play half the bracket at another site simultaneously.
Having a play-in game to make 2 3 team tournaments at 2 sites is crazy. The 2 lower seeded teams play each other and the winner gets rewarded by playing the top seed the very next game. If they lose that game, they turn around the next day and play the same team they beat the day before but with pitcher #3 while the loser of game one is on pitcher #2. It's stupid. Better off to lose the first game and save pitching as idiotic as that sounds.
To keep from having the 'better to just lose and have better pitching left' 7AAA went to this 7-team bracket: http://arrowsup.org/2017/04/30/7aaa-baseball-district-tournament-bracket/

David will the three first round district tourney games be at the higher seed on Friday 5/5 (1st seed get a bye), similar to previous years?
As of now, pending district meeting, yes, same format as previous years. 7 at 2, 6 at 3 and 5 at 4 - with 1 hosting and getting the bye and automatic berth.

Riverdale lost to Oakland tonight so they are officially toast (district regular season championship speaking).
7AAA is going to crown a new district regular season sheriff next week (other than Siegel or Riverdale) for the first time since 2009 when Blackman earned a trip to the fling. I remember watching that '09 Blaze team battling toe to toe with eventual state champ Farragut in the State Tourney.
Blackman (12-2) needs 2 more wins to claim the reg. season title. Otherwise pin the 7AAA star on Coach Bartlett's Redhawks (14-4 in the clubhouse).
This will be the most competitive district tournament in a long time fer-shur.
These are the facts of the race and they are undisputed (thanks to David Limbaugh's daily district updates
, https://twitter.com/redhawks_7aaa (Redhawks finish the 7AAA district at 14-4 with 12 straight wins to finish district play), https://twitter.com/bhs_blaze_bsbl).Go Preds!
Thank You for the kind words. Current standings, http://arrowsup.org/baseball/standings.pdf
Week 7 Series:
Riverdale (9-6) vs Blackman (13-2)
Lavergne (4-11) vs Siegel (8-7)
Smyrna (2-13) vs Oakland (4-11)
Stewarts Creek (14-4) bye week
Blackman won 2 of 3 from Stewarts Creek so one win over Riverdale clinches district championships, host and automatic berth in the region.
District Tournament Seeds
1/2 Blackman or Stewarts Creek
3/4 Riverdale or Siegel
5/6/7 Lavergne, Oakland or Smyrna

David, is there going to be another alumni game again this year? If so, when? I ask as the 'clone' wants to play, but for some reason the Army wants to know ahead of time to let him have the time off.
I will ask when school starts back next week....

Everything that was there is still there except a lot of the old photos - with our past website provider we had a limit on disk space - with our current web-host that the county school board bought for every county high school we have no limit
Look under program links under football - everything is still there:

the website went to crap after wyant left, i had always thought riverdale had the best high school website i had ever seen at the time in the early 2000's, the tomahawk chop played, had stats from all games and recent news, links to national ranks, mr football winners, records against each team "updated records, not just til 2006" just about anything you cld think of, and everything on the old website was clean and neat and it was updated weekly not once every now and then with a copy and paste from the dnj
Huh? I have been doing the website since Wyant left and update it every Friday night, http://arrowsup.org/football and when news comes out. What website have you been looking at? 2017 Schedule is up as well. Do you not follow @rhs_sports or @rhs_sid or @RHS_WarriorsFB on twitter? Look under program links - everything is there.
