This “fully seeded snaking bracket” doesn’t exist in college softball! Location and associated driving distance matters much more than the 1-64 seeding scheme so that a #1 overall seed is not going to be matched up with the #32 overall seed and so forth.

Yes, they have to ditch the minimize flights with the 400-mile bus rule and seed 1-64 to get closer to a snaking bracket. Due to the no two teams from the same conference in a regional rule, a true snaking bracket is probably never possible anyway. However, the committee does attempt to balance the brackets as best they can within the above limitations. I’m merely arguing that the Norman regional is probably pretty close to what that regional would look like if they could snake the bracket.
We put up with your uninformed softball takes because this is a softball forum but your political views don’t belong here. Take it somewhere else.
Not a demand, just a question.
Just a little harsh...."your uninformed softball takes"...I for one have loved reading Hrothgar's comments on this board. Not sure how many I have seen from Gopher6389. If you ask me there is no reason that Softball doesn't go back to the rotating site approach they did in the past. Just saying! Sure seems like a huge advantage to local schools that get to be home for the toughest part of the season while some schools may only play 5-7 game series at home. Maybe the political issue will help solve the real issue of an unfair advantage. Let's also admit that maybe the money needs to spread around the country instead just to Ok every year! Then again it is about the best thing going for Ok!
Thanks for your words. And GopherSBFan's too. I wrote nothing political in my post. Neither did I intend any. I was only posing a question.
Logistically would be almost impossible, recently extended ncaa with venue to 2035 and with the number of annual youth tournaments around the area contracts aside there's nowhere else fit for moving it to
Yeah you can't have a 1 throw rundown and not make play
Prairie is worst team in field so there's at least 1 guaranteed win
Are we really gonna blame this loss on pitching? Don’t get me wrong out pitching has been an issue all season but that certainly is NOT the reason we lose this game.
Oh did I actually say WE LOST THIS GAME BECAUSE OF PITCHING? Please point it out to me where I used those words.
My bad, you mentioned pitchers giving up run(s) after we scored and wanted the stats on that. Apparently, I misunderstood your point. Obviously, giving up hits contributed to the lose but…
While I too think we will beat Prarie View, let’s not get too wacky with our assertions: Nicole May is a really good pitcher with a 12-0 record and a 1.0 ERA.
