re: What is the Point of a Conference Baseball Tournament?

Personally, I don't like it. I like the way DVH usually approaches it though.

I think it tires your pitching out the week before regionals begin, which is where you want to do well. It is a quick turn around for teams 5-12 to play again on Tuesday after playing a 3 game series just a few days before.

I would prefer just a single game elimination tourney like the softball tourney is set up. This would allow for a start on Thursday, which would keep everyones weekend pitching rotation the same as the week before and give arms about 6-7 days rest.
