4 teams in a regional. Make the highest seed every game home. Or at a minimum the highest seed should be home the first time *any* two specific teams meet. Meaning do away with the total home / away count and count each 2 team matchup independently.

Y'all, since when has the NCAA made sense?

No kidding. I haven't been paying attention other noticing Careless Whisper for Schott. Are we still not allowed to even play their walk up songs at our own park for regionals.

We can play walk up songs as long as we also play the other teams. We can't do all the usual songs and sound effects but we can do some.

So yesterday
Louisiana road team vs Grambling
Texas home team vs A&M
So why is Louisiana road and Texas home again today?
Louisiana was home team against Texas Friday, no?
Yes but I was told it alternated game by game so Friday's shouldn't matter. UL was road yesterday, Texas was home. Doesn't it make sense to alternate?
Sense has no place in NCAA rules. If teamss have already played each other, it just flips. Regardless of who had been home/away more.
If they play a third time, it goes to the other rules.

Well whoever said that was wrong. Sean explained it. Not sure what else to say.
Do I agree with it? No. I think the higher seed should always be home.
But it's really not that hard to follow either.

Hopefully we get deep into bullpens in the first game tomorrow so have batting practice tomorrow to head to the super regional…..
if you made the host the home team for every game, it would really suck for teams like JMU and GCU who realistically have zero chance of ever hosting a regional ever.

I like this
The fact that we were the 1 seed, went 3-0, and yet were the visiting team twice is proof that the system is flawed.
I don't care how it changes, but that scenario shouldn't be possible.

Maybe they should get good and earn the right to be the home team? Why feel bad - it's about earning advantages by being good across a large body of work.
go grab me a calculator and tell me what teams High Point University would have had to schedule in OOC and what their record would have needed to be in order to have a blip of a dream of hosting.

I bet if they were undefeated they would host
What???? We were visitors yesterday??? Ok, somebody please explain these ridiculous rules to me. Sean? You seem willing. Thank you!!!!
Higher seed is home unless team they are playing has played more away games.
Holy crap. You people. Sean??????????????
And you even got a star. I should work for the guvmint.
If they just made it to where the better seed is the home team every game … I don't think many people would have legitimate complaints.
Don't like it? Do better in the regular season. Also we have mid majors hosting every year so spare me the "it's not fair for the small schools" argument

Really confused how people don't understand it….
Not saying I agree with it but shouldn't be hard to follow at all….
A&M was home Friday. One home game.
Louisiana was home Friday. One home game.
A&M was the away team Saturday. One away game.
Louisiana was the away team Saturday and their first game Sunday. Two away games.
Louisiana is the home team for our game.

Because being the visiting team in your own stadium/arena is illogical and no other sport does this.htxag09 said:

The regional host should be home for all of their games. Should be considered a reward for being a host.

Yes we understand the rule. Doesn't mean it's not stupid.
The fact that as the host school in the 1-0 winners bracket game can get walked off in their own stadium means it's a flawed rule. Especially given baseball is the one sport where it makes an impact who is home or away
Please find one time I defended the rule…
Bwahahaha.
You people couldn't see a joke if it bit you on the eyeball.
I was giving Sean sh*t in good fun. Read the f*ckin thread, nimrods.

I thought there was only Rule #1. Or the only rule that really matters.
But yes, this is hilarious to me. Lol. Even if I have to laugh at my own jokes. You people.

What other sports guarantee the home team final at bat/possession?
I really thought the whole visitor rules thing would have died off by today. What was that quote about somebody's kids -"Christ Almighty, it's like I'm sittin' here playin' cards with my brother's kids or somethin'. You nerve-wrackin' sons-a-*****es".
Okie Lite just had to play the if-necessary game as Visitors in O'Brate.

"Are you gonna just stand there and bleed?" 
I think they could start their season with road series at UNC, Clemson, South Carolina and play the Houston tourney vs LSU & A&M. Then midweek vs Vandy, Tennessee, Georgia, NC State, Virginia, VaTech and Duke. Might have to play some of them 2x too fill out the mid-week schedule. All on the road if course. I think you could afford to lose probably 5 of those road games as long as you go undefeated in conference.swimmerbabe11 said:

Voila, host team
I bet none of y'all complained when we walked off WV at their place
If a clock was involved, I complained.
