Trying to figure out how the post season works as far as conference, regional, super regional, world series etc.
Have a daughters playing in the Gliac which I understand is part of the Midwest region. Their conference final is second week of May and understand the winner of the conference gets a berth at regionals.
Last week the regional rankings came out and appears they are weighted based on the relative strength of the teams you play. Are these rankings just an interim measure or will they be the basis of deciding the regional entries. On the NCAA site I see the regional rankings are marked "under consideration" what does that mean? If you end up the season in the top eight in the region are you assured a spot at regionals or if a lower placed team wins the conference can that bump a lower team out? Given there are four conferences in the region is it accurate that if you finish the season in the top four that you would then be assured a regional spot regardless who wins the conference finals?
I haven't seen any mention of Super Regionals anywhere this year, has that been done away with in anew format. Is it only the top team from a regional that advances to the world series?
Appreciate any insight anyone with experience might be able to offer a freshman's dumb dad who is trying to figure it out.
