Potential dumb question...

That’s correct. If UL and San Diego win their regionals, could be interesting. Hope it comes to that.

But if UL wins and one of the lower seeds win in CA, UL is going to get the bid.

Now THAT'S what I was wondering!

National seeds 1–8 cannot meet each other in the super regional and are guaranteed to host. If the higher national seed in the bracket is eliminated in the regional stage, but the lower national seed advances, the super regional will be played at the national seeded team's field. If the two seeds are not national seeds, the Super Regional will be bid upon by the two competing teams.

One clarification to this situation (bolded above). The two advancing teams do not bid on the super regional unless neither school submitted a bid to host the super regional. If one of the teams bid, but the other did not, the team that bid will host the super regional (provided it is a qualified bid). If both of the teams already bid, there is no new bidding process. In that case the already submitted bids are evaluated.

If a 1 through 8 national seed does not advance, then the two teams that meet in that super regional will have an opportunity to bid to be awarded that super regional.

So what happens if neither previously submitted a bid?

Would we be waiting until the end of the regional to bid for a super? I hope not.

No. Bids for both regional and super submitted.

There is a deadline to submit separate bids for regionals and super regionals (same deadline), which has long passed. The athletic administration has been consistent about bidding for both regionals and super regionals in baseball and softball. I do not know whether or not San Diego, for example, submitted a bid to host somewhere (need not be their campus facility).

Why wouldnt they be able to host on campus? Looks like a nice ballpark. Seems to have plenty media space and seating for up to 3,000.

IF UL and SD win their regional and BOTH submitted bids to host regionals and super-regionals... Is that bid awarded based on merit (SD advantage) or money (UL advantage, I would assume)?
