That’s not gonna happen. Between the TV deal and trying to actually squeeze the 4 games in at the stadium, it’s a losing battle.

at least have the 1 seed pick a slot, then 2... right now the 4th seeded slot gets the most time. Stupid.

I would think they could have 1 game from each bracket, each day. Something like:

Friday: Bracket 1 highest seed, bracket 2 highest seed
Saturday: Bracket 1 lower seed, bracket 2 lower seed
Sunday: Both losers’ brackets
Monday: Both winners’ brackets
Tuesday: Both losers’ brackets
Wednesday: Both semifinals game 1
Thursday: Both semifinals game 2 (if needed)

That would give the biggest advantage to the 2 highest seeds, assuming they both win out, and it would make both brackets equal in terms of rest.

Of course the flip side is the rest period between the supers and CWS, but I would think that’s less of an issue since there is a larger gap anyway. But they could do the same thing for the supers - let the higher-seeded hosts play Fri/Sat/Sun and the lower-seeded hosts play Sat/Sun/Mon instead of breaking it up by bracket.
