Is there a cutoff for starting the game tonight or do they have to play it tonight? It could possibly make a team play 4 games tomorrow. Will they push the finals to Monday?Tulane/Lehigh won't start back up until 10 most likely.

Remember, next weekend there are Fri-Sat-Sun series as well as Sat-Sun-Mon.

I drove through the storm earlier. It's nasty

A lot of expert meteorologists as well, or a lot of people who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

I think the OP is right. One team will play 4 games tomorrow.

No.

If Tulane and Lehigh have to finish tomorrow, then LSU and UNC-W will follow, with Tulane facing the loser after.

Championship game Monday. Two games Monday if nec.

And this is the double edged sword with tv rights.

If it wasn't for tv rights and them controlling when we play I promise you the games would have been moved up to 10am first game and 1 for second game.

With it being 8-3, I say they just make it final - it would help a lot and everyone knows Lehigh didn't belong in the tournament.

If we don't get another inning in today, tomorrow they would finish this game, play our game and then the other loser's bracket game. Monday would be the championship game plus the if necessary game.

As a general rule, no game should start later than 11 p.m. local time.

As a general rule, in the case of a suspended game the remaining game schedule should be adjusted so that there is no possibility of a team playing more than two complete games in one day.

quote:

If Games 1 and 2 are played on Friday, and Game 3 is started but suspended before being completed on Saturday……resumption of Game 3 plus Games 4 and 5 on Sunday, Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) on Monday. (2 – .5 – 2.5 – 2)

This is why LSU stadium people wanted to start the early game at 2 at the latest but nobody listened.

Well, them folks in Bristol, CT don't know how the weather works down here, and they are the ones setting the times...but, I am sure everyone involved would give ESPN their money back so they can out smart the weather...
