[QUOTE="78pike, post: 947263, member: 4030"] I always thought the reason for the change to this format had more to do with limiting the number of games teams had to play before heading to the NCAA Tournament. Back when it was double elimination teams could blow up their staff with the number of games they had to play especially if the weather got involved. I seem to remember one year we had to play three games in one day or something ridiculous like that. Changing to this format allows the top teams to easily plan out their innings and set up their staffs before moving on to the post season. They know exactly which days they play and for the most part how many games they will need to play. It also greatly increases the likelihood that the top teams will move on into the semis and enhance their seeding chances as they have the tiebreakers in their favor. It makes it much tougher on the bubble teams like us but hey that's why they play the regular season. [/QUOTE]
