M.C.A.L. BASEBALL/SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT

 
After getting input from member schools the MCAL Baseball & Softball tournament will be:
 
The Baseball / Softball Tournament will be the week of May 27, 28, 29, 30 and if needed the 1st two days of June.  With all the rain it will be difficult to get in all the games by the 23rd.  (23rd is the cut off for the tournament and this is a firm date and will not be changed) Games can be play the week of the 27th but will not count towards the seeding of the tournament.
 
The top 2 teams in each division make the tournament.  If we have a tie for second in the standings, we will have a play-in game on the 27th.  Overall record and head-to head will decide the seedings.  A tie for first, if head-to head doesn't break the tie will be a coin toss for 1st and 2nd seed.
 
In scheduling the games, I will be having the teams involved let me know which day is best for them. I realize that many of our schools have lots going on at this time of the year which makes it hard for me to pick days that both schools are available.
 
In reviewing my survey, I had 2 member schools, that have teams in the tournament, that could not play June 3,4 or 5.  I also had a number of schools that did not want to extend the season. There are so many conflicts at this time of the year, plus the rain, left us with this decision.  As I stated above, whatever your record is on the 23rd of May will determine seedings.
