ACC Baseball Tournament

[IrishHerb]

Was looking at it, and seems like its a strange set up.

Apparently only 12 teams are playing, and it starts off with 4 pools of 3 teams each, each playing the others once. Then the winners of the 4 pools play in regular tournament format.

Why I say its strange, is that in each pool (with 3 teams A, B and C) it is possible that A beats B, B beats C and C beats A, then how do you decide who the winner of that pool is? Looking at the schedule, there doesn't seem to be any time for make up games to resolve issues like this.

Anyone know if there are tiebreakers, and if so what they are?

pretty sure higher seed advances--recall that from last year.
This year Irish probably do not need to beat Wake but they probably do need to beat Wake or Pitt. They are squarely on the bubble. Should be exciting!

Wake is very good

Go Irish, Shitt on Pitt

Didn't work.

Looks like our ball team isn't as good as last year.
