Southern Miss will be the home team tonight

I know this question will be asked a bunch regardless, but I thought I'd answer it anyway. The higher seed is the home team in the first game, but after that, there are certain rules in place to determine who will be home. Here's the official list, going in order:
1) The team that's been home the least
2) The team that's been away the most
3) For rematches: The team that was away in the previous matchup
4) The team that was away in their last game, unless both were away
5) Coin flip
In this instance, we were home in the first game, and Southern Miss was the visitor. So USM will be home tonight. Similarly, Stony Brook will be home for the elimination game against ASU.

I've always disliked this... always felt like host team earned the right to be home team in their regional/super regional

The higher seed should always be the home team.
That would simplify things greatly. But then, we are talking about the NCAA.

Stupidest rule there is. You're playing in my ballpark, I get to bat last, I get to pick the dugout and I get every other advantage possible.

Always hated how the ncaa handles this. If you earn the privilege of hosting, you should be the home team each game you play. You have home field and all that comes with that

Its so stupid, but then again, lsu cant use trackman either because of all its advantages

What is the NCAA reasoning for this?

5) Coin flip
I don't know about baseball, but softball eliminated the coin flip this year.
Any situation that got to a coin flip was automatically given to the higher seed.
It's still not perfect, but that is an improvement.

Why does it really matter? You have to beat the team you are playing by run rule in 7 or by 1 at the end. I understand not having to play bottom of ninth or knowing what you have to put up in the bottom. To me you should be playing/trying your best no matter the situation so home or away is irrelevant when you have the "home" crowd. Put them away early and don't worry about the rest. With first bat jump on them early and break their will.

I never did like this rule. The higher seed should always be the home team. That should be one of the benefits of earning the higher seed.

Thanks for the explanation. It still baffles me why they can’t simplify it and just give the high seed in the winners bracket home team. Same with supers, they earned it throughout the season.

Might as well bump this for the morning crowd
