LHSAA sent out letter that if only one baseball game has been played,

Yikes

What a well thought out decision. My god ...

When did LHSAA start doing series for the playoffs?

10.11.4
If a playoff game is postponed because of inclement weather, darkness, or some other approved unforeseen reason, the
Executive Director
may grant an extension for the game. The following shall apply in granting the extension:
1.
The playoff schools shall request a day-by-day extension to play the game.
2.
The game shall be played on the next day if possible.
BA
83
3. Both schools shall mutually agree before a game may be played on a Sunday
.
4.
The game site may be moved to another location in the state so that play can be completed by the deadline.
5.
If a postponed game is played on the day before or after the next scheduled round, the
Executive Director
shall not
grant an extension to the school that won the postponed game. The game shall be played the next day unless that
day is a Sunday or unless a game on that day conflicts with a district, regional, or state track and field meet
(if appli-
cable)
.
6.
In Classes 5A
and 4A,
in the rounds of play that are decided by a best two out of three series, the following guide-
lines shall apply:
a.
If no games are completed due to any reason prior to the Monday after the scheduled end of the series,
the series shall be reduced to a single elimination game.
b.
If only one game has been completed due to any reason prior to the Monday after the scheduled end of
the series, the series shall be reduced to a single elimination game, and the game that was played
shall be the game of record.
c. If two games have been completed and the series is tied and the third and final game cannot be played
due to any reason prior to the Monday after the scheduled end of the series, Rule 10.11.4.2 shall be ap-
plied, and the final game shall be played on the next possible date.

edited because corrected that Northlake doesn't have all turf baseball field

the problem i see is that there's no way to police that teams leading 1-0 are making a "good faith" effort to continue the series in a timely matter with rain like this weekend. the longer the travel involved, the worse this is.

i wonder if letting the lower seeded team host game 1 during the midweek of these series would help this issue...

A. every school in a 2/3 series would experience home playoff baseball

B. they all have incentive to get games in (gate, competitiveness)

C. you can play two games in one day, so easier to fit in over an entire weekend. Fri-Sat, Sat-Sat, Sat-Sun, Sun-Sun...

D. Travel would be equalized. You can play the single elimination first round on a Friday or Saturday instead of on Monday or Tuesday

The LHSAA is a shite show.

What in the fricking frick, LHSAA?

The rules were followed, it appears. What's the problem?
