... and what consitutes a good QOWI score?

If neutral site games are truy road games, the system certainly favors the cold-weather schools as they play the first 10-12 games on the road during Spring Break. It hurts the warm-weather schools in the south and west who do not have to travel to pick up games and grab a few extra points in the QOWI.

monarchs get the split with salisbury, winning 6-2 and losing 11-7 in extra innings...too bad they didn't split with emory or hold the lead vs. salisbury - going 2-2 in those 4 games would have been big

poppa - it's all relative to the other pool c contenders

Trying to catch up on this board...

Narch is right, neutral site road games for both.

Spring training games for northern schools down south... they may not be classified as "in-region" games. Marietta vs McMurry was not an in-regon game.

UW-Stout vs Texas Lutheran wasn't either in 2006. It seems that it will be in 2007 when the Championships Committee adopts the Geographic Regions as an in-region criterion.

As for what do good QOWI's for Pool C bids look like, here are the QOWI's for Men's Basketball

Pat Coleman's last QOWI run

My rough draft of the Pool C bids for Basketball in 2006 from which I made my guesses of the Selections. With more than 300 teams playing baseball, the statistical sampling should be fairly consistent across both samples.

(I would love to see the QOWI's for Baseball!)

Big Poppa, you are catching on very quickly to this stuff!!! Better than you hit the outside curve?

two big games friday for the monarchs at york...2 shots to impress the committee and beat a regionally ranked opponent on the road - go monarchs

oh, and the softball team won 10-1 in 5 innings in the first round of the regional today and don't play until saturday

women's golf is up by 54 strokes after 3 rounds

men's golf finished a disappointing 3rd in the country

sure would be nice to have softball and baseball continue to play beyond the weekend

the monarchs won game one of the york doubleheader behind a cg shutout from brandt with 7 k's

narch · May 12, 2006, 11:32:16 PM

monarchs lose game 2, 4-1 - looks like the season is over for the boys - we'll have to settle for being the usasac regular season champions

i don't think ferrum makes the regional either...the fact that they haven't been regionally ranked tells me a lot about their relative strength vs. other regional teams

narch · May 16, 2006, 02:27:11 PM

3 usasac baseball players named academic all-district...nice list...check out cornelius' gpa (mc is on the +/- system), even more impressive than his rbi total this year

FIRST TEAM
Pos. Name
IF Daniel Ziccardy SHENANDOAH III Jr. Harrisonburg, Va. 4.0 Political science
SECOND TEAM

ncwc beats emory 7-3 today - rice with a cg - good win for the bishops

JAF · May 22, 2006, 09:32:46 AM

Congrats NCWC Bishops on your regional championship. You did a great job of representing the USA South. Keep it going in the World Series.

nice regional win for the bishops...great to see that the 2nd best team in the usasac can win the regional

they got great pitching from rice this and co. this weekend, and that will make them a difficult out at the next level, as well...that staff is deep, talented and pretty young to boot - congrats!

there is a pretty cool photo slide show of the south regional from the rocky mount telegram...check it out here

Anyone have thoughts/predictions/comments on USA South Baseball 2007?
I'm a newbie on here and this is my main area of interest.

Ralph Turner · December 14, 2006, 06:14:46 PM

Hokieone, welcome aboard!

I will move this board over to the USA South board.

Narch does a very good job over there with keeping us informed.

Olinemom (a Bridgewater English Professor and brownie baker), CNU85 and hasanova are other veterans of the board.

We appreciate any game reports, hyperlinks, in-game updates, etc.
