They should make this single elimination and announce it asap so teams and "fans" can make plans to get home asap.

Send one bracket to Hattiesburg and let the other bracket play in Biloxi.

Would it be fair, at this point? I mean, several teams have already started this tournament as a double elimination, possibly employing strategies built around that, and, all of a sudden - BOOM. Sorry, you've been eliminated.

Won't be a choice if the double elimination pools can't be completed with teams playing no part of more than two games in one day to allow a championship game to be played by the end of Sunday night.

Look at the weather forecast. Mother Nature never met "fair". I think its more fair to announce and send people on their way than make them sit through a monsoon, wasting money and time along the way. Heck, they have no chance at winning the tourney anyway. This strategy you speak of obviously didnt work for the losers....unless their strategy was to lose....which is a bad strategy imo.

Sorry to inject politics into this thread but this schedule is more optimistic than Democrats thinking we can turn Texas into a blue state.

They do realize the Rice-La Tech game still has 3 innings yet to be played? And we've given up some massive leads this year. 5 runs wouldn't even crack our top 5, I'm guessing.

I think we have to find a 2nd ballpark at this point - that's the only chance we have of finishing this thing or getting close. Move the USM bracket somewhere else.

Solid article explaining the procedure if the tournament becomes further water logged. From the article...

The rulebook states:

"Every effort should be made to complete all scheduled games in the (tournament). The Conference representative and Tournament Director will control the start of games under rain conditions. If rain delays games to the point where the (tournament) cannot be completed by Sunday night, with no more than four games in a day and a team playing no more than two games a day, the (tournament) format will change to single elimination."

That’s turned into a lie. Might not be ideal but there a couple of high schools on the coast that could host a game or two. There’s little reason why the La Tech vs Rice completion game couldn’t be played at Biloxi High with them only needing to play 3 innings as there’s no way based off the schedule that the USM vs UAB game will start an hour after the LT/Rice game resumes at 12:30. That’s about as embarassing as a Judy in her remote controlled car

According to the weather channel website, today looks very favorable:

Sunny/Partly Cloudy all day until about 9pm then clear all night....Friday doesn't look so promising.

Can we make all games 7 innings now, especially Rice-Louisiana Tech?

The fact they aren't playing the Rice-LA Tech game right now at Biloxi High is a disgrace... Quite honestly, looking a Google Maps, their field looks just as nice as UTSA's field.

I know the HC at Biloxi pretty well. Their facility is top-notch for a high school program.

Would be a nice place to play but I don't foresee it happening.

My nephew said a bunch of the C-USA baseball teams are scheduled to practice at D'Iberville High Scool. He said he saw Charlotte the other day on campus. They should just play a game or 2 there.
