American Legion Baseball You asked for it and I've got it. (NCAL Junior 2018 state tournament)

UPDATE: due to weather no junior legion state finals today. Hope to have site in bw the two teams to try again tomm. July 25th
 
our team won a series 2-0 when it was schedule to be 3 out 5, wasn't fair to kids on the other team. series was tied 2-2 but we won the first 2 games.

That has to happen occasionally due to weather, but the state tournament for Juniors is the last option for them and not having a rain day built in is tragic.

sense there is not a national tournament for JR legions they should play until every teams but one has 2 losses.
 
they also changed the area 3 tiebreaker rule this year. , used the runs aloud rule instead of the record against higher seed. back in 1970's if there was a tie for the last playoff spot they played a one game playoff game. need to determine rules in May before the season starts and shouldnt be changed a 3 out 5 series should be 3 out 5, double elimination tournament should be just that regardless the weather. MLB playoff rules states that all playoff game must be 9 innings regardless of score, not official after 5 innings except during regular season,,. 3 out 5 is better format than double eliminate or pool format, one time the MLB world series was posted a week.. if each team played every teams in their area 1 time the head to head tiebreaker would be the only tiebreaker needed, in 3 out of 5 series less likely to have weather issues , could require a double headed if a game is rained out per North Carolina rule book .
