Will there be a double header if necessary? Or game on Tuesday?
Here is what the manual from the NCAA says. NCAA.org.
It says a game should not start later than 11. Does not address re-starts.
Super Regionals
• The primary goal is to play the games according to the published schedule [one game on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday (June 9-11 format) or one game on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (June 10-12 format).]
• You should keep in touch with the local weather bureau and we also encourage you to evaluate the weather via
www.weather.gov or
www.weather.com.
If available, it is strongly recommended to have a local meteorologist on-site or at a minimum on-call to provide
their expert analysis on any potential weather in the area.
• Lightning should be monitored via the Weather Sentry Online system. Please use these weather-monitoring
devices when trying to determine starting times after a delay. The host institution is required to designate one
individual whose main responsibility will be to monitor the weather/lightning during all practices and
competition.
• As a general guideline, no game should start later than 11 p.m. local time.
• As another general guideline, no team should be scheduled to play more than two games in any given day.
• The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee prefers that one game per day be played whenever possible. Please
note that Monday, June 12 may have to be used to meet this guideline for the June 9-11 super regional format,
while Tuesday, June 13 may have to be used to meet this guideline for the June 10-12 super regional format.
POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
2. June 10-12 Format
a. If the Saturday game is cancelled…..play one game each on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (if
necessary).
b. If the Saturday game is played and the Sunday game is cancelled…..play game two on Monday and
game three (if necessary) on Tuesday.
c. If Saturday and Sunday games are cancelled…..play games one and two on Monday and game three
(if necessary) on Tuesday.
If there is inclement weather, the host institution may have access to its clubhouse during a game delay regardless of
being designated as the home or visiting team in any given game in which it participates; however, the host institution
must provide access to adequate space to accommodate the other participating team. The intent of this rule is to
provide equitable inclement weather facilities for each participating team during the course of any inclement weather
delays.
Hosts shall have a stadium evacuation policy in the event of lightning or severe weather. The host shall also have and
use appropriate public address announcer scripts as necessary.
