Question CWS Question???
Why would they start off with the super regional playing a best of 3 series, then switch to a double elimination for the final 8, only to go back to the best of 3 series for the championship, doesn't seem to make sense?

You would think they would start out with a double elimination tournament and finish the top 4 teams playing a best of 3 series through the championship.

I dunno, just seems weird!

The idea is that when there are several teams, double elimination is the way to go. But in a 1 vs 1 situation, best 2 out of 3 determines a true campion

Rumor is that there is talk about the Pre CWS rounds of the NCAA tourney becoming all best of 3 series in the future. 3 rounds at home sites, before resuming the 8 team double elimination tournament at the CWS

The other talk is the conversation about not killing pitchers arms in the CWS because many of the pitchers there are all looking at pro contracts.
