davidlimbaugh Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 TSSAA Baseball Format (The Road to the Boro) is pretty simple. a) Finish first or second in your district (this is the hardest part!) /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> If you are first you play at home Monday c) If you are second you travel Monday d) YOU MUST WIN ON MONDAY!!!! Lose and your season is over e) On Wednesday the two winners meet at the higher seed or at the odd district # if same seed (because this is an odd year) f) You don't 'have' to win Wednesday. All Wednesday decides is if you are selling cokes and popcorn at your place Friday or buying gas and cokes at someone else's place Friday night. g) Wednesday's Losers travel to Wednesday's winners Friday h) YOU MUST WIN ON FRIDAY! Win and you are on to Spring Fling in the Boro - Lose and your season is over In 5AAA thru 8AAA I think we have these 8 teams left - 2 of them will get to the Boro: Cleveland, Bradley, Soddy Daisy, Red Bank, Coffee County, Lawrence County, Oakland and Cookeville. Monday I know Cookeville travels to Coffee County and Lawrence County travels to Oakland. Who plays who in 5AAA vs 6AAA? Who is the 'elite 8' in each region for the rest of the state? Other classifications? Lets fill in some blanks here folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other classifications? Lets fill in some blanks here folks Dear Mr. Limbough, I have a correction to your post regarding Wednesdays games. Straight from the TSSAA Handbook "In the Regional Championship Games in odd-numbered years, the odd-numbered districts in baseball shall be the host team. In even-numbered years, the even-numbered districts shall be the host team. If the district winner from the district that is to host the regional finals is defeated, then the runner up from that district shall be the host. If both teams from that district are eliminated then the winner from the other district shall host the regional finals." http://www.tssaa.org/Handbook/baseball.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 This format is not a true test of a teams ability. If a team has one great pitcher (ala David Price) and two others that are average at best they can still get to the state by pitching the stud on Monday & Friday. Would it not be best to play the region games on Monday & Tuesday and play a best 2 of 3 series with one game on Friday and 2 games on Saturday with the winner advancing to the state?

That would be tough on a pitching staff too I would think. Only one day off after a 2 game day??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
