Home team twice vs. Wake

Can anyone explain the sequence of home vs. visitor in the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday games?
Is it alternating between two teams and then a coin flip in the third game?

We were away team VS Tennessee and Wake. That’s why

Yeah it’s actually pretty simple, we had been away team twice in the CWS and Wake had been away team zero times.
So we were home team twice to make up for it.

I thought I heard an announcer in pre game say LSU was home team due to coin flip in last nights game

Yeah the Tennessee game had no bearing on it. Wake was home in the first, LSU in the second and coin flip in the third

Wake Forest fan told me this morning that the games were rigged because LSU got home field batting in the bottom of the innings.

Pretty sure it's whoever has been the visiting team the least has to be visitors in whatever the game is.

It is. That's why we were visitors second game against TN. They have been visitors twice and us only once.

Someone posted the rules before the game yesterday and I don't want to look for them.
1st rule is the team that has been Home the least amount of times gets home field. Tuesday we were home because Wake had been the home team twice to LSU's 1 time (at that time)
2nd rule is the team that has been away the most, gets to be home. By Wednesday's game both teams had been the home team twice. However, LSU had been away twice (1st game against Wake & 2nd game against TN). Wake had only been away once (Tuesday's game against LSU). Therefore, LSU gets to be home
Do not recall the rules after step 2 because they didn't matter

How Home Team is Determined
quote:
But how we get there is a whole other kettle of fish. Here’s the bullet points:
The better-seeded team will be the home team during the first game each team plays in the tournament.
If both teams that were the road team (or home team) in their first game face each other in their first winners bracket/losers bracket game, a tournament director or umpire will flip a coin with both teams present to determine who is the home team as soon as the matchup is finalized.
The rest of the “who’s home” rules are in full below, in order of priority.
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA game representative shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question
(Exception: If two teams are left where both teams have been the home team twice, the fifth game will be determined by a coin flip);
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games; or
c. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin flip. The higher seeded team can determine whether they will call the coin toss, or defer the call to their opponent.
To be noted: Sometimes an assistant coach gets left at the stadium just to watch a coin flip while his team has already left the ballpark for a team meal or the hotel. This person is also usually tasked with scouting the following game, but the Coin Flip Coach is one of the least-pleasant jobs in all of college baseball. If you’re in the press box at TD Ameritrade Park this week and you see this coach, offer to grab them some food from media catering. I can assure you you’ll make a new friend.
Once we get to the Super Regionals and CWS Finals, it’s a bit easier.
For Game 1, the better-seeded team is at home and for Game 2, the better-seeded team is away. Because the best-of-three series is an entirely new tournament, immediately after Game 2 they’ll flip a coin for last ups in Game 3.

I did hear on the pre-game national broadcast that starting next season, they are doing away with the coin flip and the higher seed will be getting the home team spot.
