NCAA Baseball Regional/Super Regional manual

I came across this year's manual in case any of you wanted to check it out. It has all of the rules on how the regional schedule will be affected by rain outs, protest rules, etc.
In large part it's the same as always, but here's the pieces I found interesting.
As always .....
Just an FYI for people who want to bring their kids to BP and try to snag a ball...

quote:
New for 2017, the host institution may choose to remain in their preferred dugout throughout the round, regardless of being designated as the home or visiting team for that particular game.
quote:
New for 2017, bat testing will take place at all regional and super regional sites. Please review Appendix E for the new postseason bat testing protocol for the 2017 regionals and super regionals that must be followed.
As always .....
quote:
For first-round games, the highest-seeded team shall be designated as the home team. In subsequent games, the
home team shall be determined according to a formula applied by the games committee. In determining which of
two teams in any game will be the home team, the games committee or the NCAA site representatives uses the
following guidelines:
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament shall be
designated the home team.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the
team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee
or the NCAA site representative(s) shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall
be the home team in the game in question.
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors
in their preceding games.
4. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by a coin toss. The coin
toss will be held on the field immediately after the game that causes the situation to develop and both coaches
are to be in attendance. The higher seeded team can determine whether they will call the coin toss, or defer the
call to their opponent.
quote:
Instant replay will again be used during the super regionals. Plays that are reviewable via the NCAA Baseball Playing Rules will be reviewed off-site at a national instant-replay command center and the outcome of the review will be relayed to the umpire crew chief and another designated umpire via a headset on the playing field. The host institution will be required to provide space in one of the dugouts in the end closest to home plate for the instant replay facilitator. The instant replay facilitator will assist in the communication between the instant replay command center, the umpire crew chief on the field and the other designated umpire. Host institutions with video boards should use the parameters set forth in Appendix B of the 2017 and 2018 NCAA Baseball Playing Rules Book (i.e., replay may be shown on the video board one time at regular speed). Please see Appendix F for more detailed procedures for super regional instant replay.
Just an FYI for people who want to bring their kids to BP and try to snag a ball...

Thanks for posting. Am I the only one who thinks higher seed should be the home team in all games? Just seems stupid to have the #1 seed the home team 1/3 games
Posted on 5/31/17 at 9:29 am to gar90
I had heard the thing about the dugout earlier. And I think we can stay in our locker room as well.
Posted on 5/31/17 at 9:29 am to LSUstudent2006
Nope, I do too. Should be the same for the SEC tourney, make all higher seeds the home team as a reward for putting themselves in that spot.

Edit to reword my poorly worded post.
This is stupid....the higher seed should be the home team unless they are coming out the losers bracket.

Think of the children, man. Have some heart.

Great point...how selfish of me. I will allow it as long as they change the rule to how I have it stated they can make it as long as they want.

Thanks for posting!
Only thing I wish they would do on home-team is allow the host to defer.
As it is, host usually are away team on every game except the least-important round 1.

Being the visiting team makes the opponent throw an extra inning, which could potentially be beneficial provided we win game 1 and game 2 and game 2 loser wins the following game so we play them again.
As far as I'm concerned, every inning our opponents have to pitch is important once it's down to two teams.

Remember the issue in the regional tournament (or was it super regional?) a few years back about the coaches having agreed before the game about what obstacles on the field would be considered "in play" or "out of bounds"?
LSU hit a ball that went under the rain tarp or something that the outfielder had trouble getting to. Since the fielder made an attempt to get the ball, it was ruled to be live. If he had called "time", the hit would have been ruled an automatic double (?).
Sorry that my memory is so bad and my knowledge of baseball rules is so poor. I was just curious if anyone else remembered what I'm talking about. I found it fascinating that the coaches had actually agreed on that rule change before the game, and it just so happened to play a big part in that game in LSU's favor.

That has since been taken care of...the bottom of the dugout benches are now closed off.

Check out Deichmann in that video and notice how much he has bulked up since then.

If I'm the host, I should get all the trappings of home. I should pick my locker room, my dugout and should be the home team in all games.
After all, it's LSU resources off the field that make these regionals at The Box happen. If the NCAA wants regionals to truly be neutral, go solicit bids from neutral fields and see how many responses you'd get. Most bigger stadiums are being used for minor or major league baseball and they don't have time for college baseball.

Give me the chance to have last at-bat if I need it. No baseball team would willingly let the other team have last at-bat if it won a coin flip.

The higher seed should always be the home team, period.

I agree with one exception. When it gets to the point of undefeated team vs. team with 1 loss, the undefeated team should be home.
