Yeah, forecast shows about 20% rain chance at 10 PM. What kind of field will they have to play on then?

The chances of 2 today are almost zero. From this moment on pray for a total rain out. These damed weather guys are pretty good. Rain probably ends between 8-10
I don't think we'll be playing softball tonight fellas.
Wonder what the McLeast people are hoping for. They lose every tie situation.
From the purple people twitter as of one minute ago-"It's still raining, and the field will take some time to get back in playing order. Stay tuned for updates."
Sorry, I have been at a music recital.
I interpret all of this as ...
The "regional championship game" is considered to be both Game #6 and the if necessary Game #7. Thus, the "regional championship game" must be started before 11pm on Monday. If it starts and an "if necessary" Game #7 is required, that Game #7 would begin immediately after.
See the following on Page 13 ...
"(3) If competition cannot be completed Sunday, the last time to start a regional championship game (i.e., Games 6 and "if" 7) to complete regional finals is the Monday immediately preceding the super regional at 11 p.m.;"
"(4) If play is suspended before games 6 and 7 and the regional competition ceases, see the rain-delay advancement formula (page 12) outlined in this manual."
The above (4) seems to imply that the advancement formula only applies to suspended play before Game #6. But there is a resolution provided (advancement rules) in the event that 6 games are played.
Something that is unclear ... What if it is 3am Tuesday morning and the teams are in the midst of Game #7 and bad weather rolls in? At what point do they make the determination to cancel? And if they do, do they rollback to before the "regional championship game" ... which is Game #6? It seems not ... as there must be a reason to have the 6 game advancement rule. But it is not clear when this determination happens.

All clear in BR. Time to start it up in 30 min.
