Now that the district champs have been named (or will be named after today), let's talk about the Regional tourney.

 

Where is it this year?

 

Who is hosting?

 

Is the schedule set?

 

 

:popcorn:

Well you are opening an can of worms. I will tell you what I know so far.

 

Villa is hosting

 

First round games (right now) are scheduled at St Henry on Monday and NKU on Tuesday. With semi-finals on Wednesday and championship on Thursday. All those games at NKU.

 

Drawing is tomorrow afternoon at Villa.

 

I'll leave it there for now! :sssh:

Sounds drawn out. Why in the world wouldn't you have all 4 1st round games on Monday?

 

And different venues?! That's crazy too.

 

I'm all for sharing the wealth but I have to say that it's frustrating for schools to host when they don't have the facilities needed to pull off a tournament.

 

Last night at the CCHS/Brossart game, (hosted by Calvary but played at Scott) they didn't even have a microphone on the field to announce the runner up and winner of the district. Yeah, we all knew who it was but it would have been nice for the girls.

You have touched on a few of the "worms". Regulation fields and day off advantages for some are a couple of the other worms. Just sayin.

So the two teams that play Monday get an extra day before the semi's ? How will it be determined who gets the extra day off ? Seeding or blind draw ?

 

Hasn't it historically been first round on Memorial Day ?

 

Also don't understand why even if it's your "turn" to host Region, that you get to host even if you don't have regulation facilities. I assume that St Henry field meets Regional regulations ? (I don't know, just asking)

Does it operate the same as basketball where a District Winner and Runner-up can't meet until the finals?

Yes. At NKU as of late. I don't have any details or specifics, but that is the biggest "can of worms" right now..

I think the thought amongst the coaches is that St Henry does not meet the field requirements.

 

Hint...remember the conversation earlier in the year where the first 3 home runs ever hit at St Henry were just this year?? There is a reason for that and it's not because everyone that plays there has a stud pitcher!! Lol!

How long has Villa's AD been on the job? Has he ever had to put together one of these tournaments before?

I don't know the answer to either of those.

What is the fence distance at St Henry?

KHSAA is pretty clear about field requirements.

 

Require the minimum fence distance to all fields

be 185 feet. Such linear distance can be

compensated by fence height.



Recommend the maximum fence distance to be

235 feet.

Had to put together the district tournament for baseball this year.

Had to put together the district tournament for baseball this year.

 

How did that go ? (and I will assume that Villa's baseball field meets the District requirements, which are very similar to the Region requirements) but their softball field does not ?

 

Didn't we see this play out at Beechwood already ?
