NCAA Regional Inclement Weather Rules
Over on killerfrogs.com there is a discussion going on about how the NCAA would handle a Regional getting completely rained out. the most definitive post is as follows:
"This is what I found but It was for softball and not updated for 2017. Seems logical but it might have changed.
Every attempt should be made to complete regional and super regional competition by Sunday. Competition may go to Monday when the following occurs: (1) weather or emergency situations occur which prevent completion of competition; (2) any one team has to play more than three games in a day; or (3) in order to complete competition by Sunday, it would be necessary to begin competition after midnight Sunday.
If competition has to be extended to Monday, it must be completed without starting a game after midnight Monday (if the regional final begins before 11:59 p.m. and an “if necessary” game becomes necessary to determine the regional champion, that game will immediately follow).
The committee reserves the right to revise the game schedule because of inclement weather.
Regional. If inclement weather limits play, every effort has been made to complete competition by Sunday and competition cannot be completed by Monday, the team that will advance to the finals will be based on the following:
0 games played Highest seed
1 games played Highest seed
2 games played Highest undefeated seed
3 games played Highest undefeated seed
4 games played Highest seed
5 games played Highest undefeated seed
6 games played Winner of game 6 unless each team has one loss, therefore the teams are tied, then:
Head-to-head competition.
Highest remaining seed."
Anyone on here have any more input on the matter?
