their group play to determine their seeding. Seedings will remain after Group Play to rank teams in the Dazzling Dozen© round...vying to enter the Elite Eight double-elimination round.
CHAMPIONSHIP
ELITE 8, PLAY-IN, & DAZZLING DOZEN© CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS
NEW CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS - (The championship play placed the final four teams in a double-elimination format. The championship game played a full 7 innings with no time limits. Updated Sept. 16th.)
This year, due to rain, only the final four teams played in the double-elimination format.
-- DOUBLE-ELIMINATION SEPT. 15th SCHEDULE - (The play on Sept. 15th allows the final four teams to play a double-elimination format. The championship game will play a full 7 innings with no time limits. Updated Sept. 9th.)
This year, teams were seeded for the Play-in and Elite Eight rounds (with their league rankings as of August 11th retained for the rain-revised single-elimination championship rounds). Again this year, due to more rain, some teams needed to finish their group play or win a tie-breaker game coming out of the group play. Only the final four teams play in double-elimination brackets because of persistent rain.
OLD SINGLE-ELIMINATION Sept. 8th BRACKETS
So this year, the Dazzling Dozen© of teams are slated to come from the 15 teams that advanced from group play competition...the brackets are arranged in a sixteen-team layout.
The top four ranked teams are separated in each of the four sections of the "Elite Eight" and paired as closely as possible to traditional pairings - highest ranked vs lowest, number two vs second lowest, and teams ranked in the middle vs others with mid-ranged rankings. The group play also separated the top seeds into separate groups as best as possible given each team's August preference date to play the first round POD.
