It will be just fine. You'll see. All AD's agreed to it with the rain pending for Wed, Thurs and Friday. SEVERAL factors were considered and explored.

You are COMPLETELY exonerated from this, and lets just hope it works out.

 

Doesn't mean I'm happy about it, me and 2.0 will not be there because of 3.0's 8th grade graduation. :irked:

@RCC9.....did you "like" this because I know you're innocent in this schedule or that I won't be there tonight? :idunno: :lol2:

I was wondering if things like this might need to happen in order to beat the rain. Seems just about every year this happens anymore.

Probably just some really good umpiring...really, really good....:clap:

So as the schedule looks, this means if the NCC/Dayton game doesn't get completed tonight that it will have to be finished on Tuesday which would, depending on how many innings are completed tonight, one of those schools will have to play 2 the day of the finals or will they play the finals on another day?? Who feels these games will last only a hour??? Also, seems to me there is only one school that would avoid playing back to back if they try to finish all of this by Tuesday. No disrespect intended, but wouldn't the 1 vs 4/5 seed be much smarter to play last for a number of reasons?? 1) to avoid a back to back game, 2) may move a bit faster due to the seeds. Didn't Dayton just play NCC to a 6-4 loss?? Seems that game may take a bit longer, so the longer time potential game would make more sense to play second rather than third, IMO. Doesn't seem all factors were considered:idunno:

All those things were considered. There are reasons for all of them. I'm not going to call anyone out, but that's how it needed to be. The Dayton game could not be played at that time. Again, there were reasons.

 

All AD's were part of the solution. They all had input and their team's best interest in mind. And they all agreed to this solution because they all knew about all the conflicts and reasons why teams could and couldn't play. I'm telling you, there were multiple discussions and solutions proposed and this is where it landed. I can honestly say that I don't see anyone coming up with anything that would have been anything different (if you keep in mind they are trying to beat all the rain). Just to give you a few examples. Some schools couldn't play on Sunday. One school has graduation on Wednesday and Baccalaureate on Tuesday. Once school had a coach that wasn't available at a certain time. NKU was not an option. Playing at other schools facility was considered and not approved. I'm telling you, they tried SEVERAL other solutions and were told (before they agreed) that if the games run over tonight, the game would be completed the next day prior to the championship game. AGAIN, all AD's signed off on that.

 

The light was playable til 845 last night. The games start at 430. That 4 hours and 15 minutes to get the games in. I think it can happen with the schedule. I was wrong once before though!

I guess this is why AD's don't coach softball:lol:

Is quoting oneself the same as talking to yourself?

Did Bellevue/Newport really take 2 hours for a 4th inning run rule?

That had to be a fun one to watch (sarcasm)!

That's one way to make your season last longer!
