Why? Was it a coin toss?

From the thread below...

quote:

The rule and formula for figuring out who is home and who is visitor is simple and it has been the same for years (whether you agree with it or not is a different issue)

It is all dependent on whom has been the home team the smallest percentage of games in which they have played.

Since ULL wins today, they will be home team tonight. Why? Because going into tonight, ULL will have been the home team 33% of the time (1 out of 3) and LSU will have been the home team 50% of the time (1 out of 2).

It has nothing to do with who was home team last, it has nothing to do with seeding, it has nothing to do with what might or might not be fair. That is the rule...and it has been this way forever.

Makes a ton of sense. National seed, host a regional, and you're the away team in 2 of 3 games played.

Host team playing 2 of their 3 games as the away team is pretty stupid

Disagree, I think that would go over just fine here.

Not at this level but our team 8U loves to bat first so they can put the pressure on the other team and jump out early.

Since they are the flagship university for the state of Louisiana, that sounds logical to me.

Btw, it's commonplace for the team in the winners bracket to be the visiting team.
