Who is the home team in the quarterfinals if the higher seed hasn’t traveled in the first 2 rounds, but the opposing team traveled in 1 of the first 2 rounds? Is it like basketball; higher seed is home?

High seed all the way through I thought so too but in 2A #2 seed Doyle is on the road in the 2nd round. |

Yes, if the lower seed has travelled more higher seed travels.
We are having to travel to Dequincy.

In baseball class that play one game and in softball the second round is used by travel but 1st round and qf are highest seed host i believe |

Handbook says that for 2020-2021 it changed to high seed hosting for softball. When baseball switched a few years ago, the bracket showed us traveling as the low seed but it got changed once people figured it out. |

But there is some lines marked through and changed in LHSAA handbook. Think it's only for the select playoffs but it's confusing because portions have been marked out. Confusion is par for the course for the LHSAA |

In softball if the lower seed wins in round 1, they’re definitely the home/host team in round 2. However, I’m trying to figure out round 3/quarterfinals non-select. Make since for higher seed to be home even if lower seed traveled in one of the first 2 rounds, because it’s to go to the state tournament. Why would you play a tougher power schedule through the regular season if you didn’t get that advantage? IMO However, the online handbook doesn’t read that way. Anybody 100% on this or able to interpret the LHSAA’s legal mumbo-jumbo?

Went look again. Select is high seed all the way through. Non-select is in the front of the handbook and not in the softball section. Really should be high seed all the way through in all sports.

For baseball, with the series being best two out of three, I think the lower seed should host game 1 on Tuesday or Wednesday of that week and the higher seed host either Friday and Saturday or a Saturday doubleheader... and make the first round a series too It basically is higher seed all the way through except for round 2 in basketball, round 2 in softball, and rounds 2 and 3 in football... We already have the first round and the last game before state hosted by the higher seed. it’s a good reason to finish #24, that you’re guaranteed to host round 2 if you win round 1 |

3. Quarterfinal Round of Play (If played on a home-away basis):
A. The team that has traveled more in the first and second rounds shall be the home team.
B. If both teams traveled or were home teams in the first and second rounds, the higher seeded team shall be the home team.
C. In the sport of basketball, the higher seeded team shall be the home team.
4. Semifinal Round of Play (If played on a home-away basis) – the higher seeded team shall be the home team.
This is non-select. Still think the rule should be changed for the quarterfinal round of play for softball. This round is played to progress to the state tournament (which includes the semifinals). Why would you play a tougher schedule all season and not have the “home advantage” to get to the state tournament? It’s no different than basketball. Doesn’t seem to make much since.

For baseball the higher seed always hosts. The traveling team is home during game 2, but it is played at the high seed field.
10.11.5 The playoff system for Classes 5A, 4A, 3A and 2A shall be as follows:
1. Bi-District Round - Single elimination game at home field of the higher seeded team as determined under
Bylaw 10.10, Power Ranking, in this section.
2. Regional Round - Best two out of three series at the home field of the higher seeded team
3. Quarterfinal Round - Best two out of three series at the home field of the higher seeded team.

That changed because too Championship games were blowouts. Started seeding in early 2000s with football. And its worked most years.

You have to balance what the state contenders want, what the middle of the pack teams want, what the districts want, what the LHSAA wants |

You have to balance what the state contenders want, what the middle of the pack teams want, what the districts want, what the LHSAA wants The original idea was to have a team from each side of the State in the championship. They arranged the brackets from north to south thinking they could get bigger crowds by drawn in fans from all over the state rather than just fans of the schools that made it to the Dome. But it is what it is for now. |
