A little insight from the A/AE no one has an issue with a double header from our side... So the ball is now with the N/NS ? But in needs to be resolved ASAP!!!! and what ever it is the championship game needs be played on the 16th We do not have wiggle room on that

Is there a reason for the double header?

Of course we have wiggle room Randy. Why wouldn't we?

I've explained why the double header is a bad idea repeatedly. The disadvantage being placed on the losers bracket team is beyond extreme and very unfair. There is no reason why the second game couldn't be played on Monday night if necessary. We need to post the bracket so folks can see whats going on.

THE AMERICAN SIDE GETS TO SET THE RULES THIS YEAR, I THOUGHT. GREENIE YOU SAID IT RIGHT ONE PITCHER TEAMS WOULDN'T WANT A DOUBLE HEADER, THAT IS OBVIOUS ALREADY.

Chris The losers bracket is supposed to be unfair. Thats why it's the losers bracket. Pedro~The DH would only come into play if the team that goes through the winners bracket should lose when playing the winner of the loser bracket. It's double elimination

Keith ~
No we negoiated the tourney format and once again you're trying to provoke instead of trying to add something helpful/meaningful. Oh, but I forgot you guys want to screw the third place team and play in the TOCs as well. My bad.

The loser bracket is suppose to create a disadvantage but not to the extent that would be created by a double header. You'll have to see the bracketing and maybe you'll feel differently.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA Funny to sit back and watch. Taking bets who comes out on top, Keith and Greenie or Chris. Do not get mad at me but here is my spill and I am not involved so it does not mean crap either way. In a double elimination tournament the object is to keep the advantage on you side and you do that by not falling into the loser's bracket. I think the kids would get a blast out of playing a double header and if the team in the losers bracket won the first game why would they not want to keep the momentum on their side and play again while they have the team down. Like I said just my idea and I am not saying it is the right one just my opinion. It is really going to be a great tournament either way and it is going to be very competitive. Any one have the odds yet on each team winning the tournament.JK

Can anyone tell me when they've ever played a double header in the AS tourney? As for Keith and Greenie one is arguing from a point of thoughtfulness/refelection (Greenie) and the other from I don't know where. Greenie argues a point and Keith just pops in to be salacious.
Pitching is going to be tough either way but as I said before I'd hate to see a team come all the way through the losers bracket and have to pitch their right fielder. This format best suits the Padres who have proven to be deeper in the pitching department than the other teams. That's cool because they have earned the number 1 seed and we're trying to get away from the one horse team winning in a one game setup. It just seems to me we're are really stacking the deck. JMO but at least I thought it out ;D

The format Randy (originally) suggested works fine. The whole idea of the tournament was to find the true champion (team with most depth) and not to let some poor slob (like Chris) ride his one-horse team to the title like he did a few years ago. The format IMO should be such that the ace can't pitch back to back complete games and that's why the format is the way it is... and it's a huge disadvantage to the team is the losers bracket. As it is, they'll most likely have to use at least their fourth pitcher just to make a run thru the losers side. I can't imagine anyone wanting them to have to go deeper than that.

Hey now! No, I have to agree about 2005 and that's why a balanced tourney is so appealing. I just don't remember talking about a double header in our tourney meeting.

ITS TRUE I THINK THE FIRST PLACE TEAM SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLAY TOC. JMO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT.
