Do we even have the pitching to battle through a double elim?

The CWS bracket is less taxing then the regionals.

We are playing 5 games in 4 days in the regionals. In the CWS, you play a game every other day for the first two games.

If we are in Bracket 1, we play Sat and Mon. If we are 2-0, we don't play again until Friday. If we are 1-1, we would play on Wed, and if we win, again Friday.

If we are in Bracket 2, we play Sun and Tues. If we are 2-0, we don't play again until Friday. If we are 1-1, we would play on Thurs, and if we win, again on Friday.

So our first three games are spread over 5 days.

If we play the if necessary game, it would be Saturday, and then the Champ series is the following Mon - Wed.

So at most, you are looking at 5 games over 7 or 8 days, and then 3 games more over 3 more days.

If you can go 3-0, then you get your first two starters for Game 1 and Game 2 of the champ series. If you have to play Game 3 of the champ series, then you are pitching a guy on Wed (say labas for us) that pitched the previous Wed. That would be short rest. But, it's the last game of the season.
