Sun Belt Conference softball tournament

[Turbine]

All I've ever heard about favorable or unfavorable schedules is "had no say."

How did they agree to it? Doesn't the conference make the rules? I didn't know they needed approval from the teams.

Voted on by the coaches

I track and post the Bubas Cup standings on the CSNBBS Sun Belt website. I had to talk with some of the new staff members about how women's soccer and volleyball were going to be tabulated. I was told that they had the coaches decide if seedings, point distributions, etc. were going to be determined by overall conference record, record within the divisions, win percentage. They have apparently done the same with other sports as well.

So is this, a moving target?
Can or does it change yearly?

It's hard to say. I would expect this year establishes the precedent. I'm not sure if they will change how they determine which teams from the East will play teams from the West, but they had to figure something for this season since they were not going to play a full round robin schedule (too many conference games detracts from non-conference benefits). The Division winners will likely remain the top two seeds, I wouldn't expect that to change but I don't think I'll be able to find out about any other changes until next season.

Weakest in the conference. Almost the weakest in the nation.

How many tickets are you looking for and are you looking for tickets for just the UL games or all the games?

Just two and more than likely just the UL games.
