This is why runs allowed have become a more standard tie breaker for baseball tourney play. It doesn't feel good to be on either side of those games. |

I just checked and it’s actually runs allowed but I guess since they are in our side of the bracket we needed to put runs on them?
The funny thing is that team actually still advanced to bracket play and if they win tonight we would play them tomorrow for the title assuming we win tonight. |

In the old NES game Baseball Stars, I would always play as the road team so I could rack up a few more runs before the 10 run mercy rule kicked in at the end of the inning. |

Very likely why. I've also seen caps put on run diff. 8 or 10 seems to be the standard. Tournaments are finding it's hard to fill spots when boat races at younger ages is encouraged. |

Yeah, capping the benefit is how (for example) a lot of our HS football regions deal with point-based tiebreakers. I kinda figured that would be common elsewhere in competitions of this sort, although I guess with fewer games involved to differentiate I suppose tied teams remaining tied when both maxxed out the benefit could be an issue.

Sorry I have turned this into a bit of a dynasty.
We won last night 18-2 so we have now outscored the competition 69-14. My daughter got her first home run last night. It was awesome to see her and her teammates so excited. We play for the divisional title tonight against the team we just beat 29-8, so unless they have some lights out pitcher who missed Saturdays game I am feeling pretty good. |
