The MWC should be better in baseball overall - UNM has done well recently while SDSU has done ok..........Fresno needs to get back and UNLV can't remain the dud it's been for the last number of years. 

So based on the above, I can understand why the MWC went with the top 4 finishers & letting the last 3 sit home.

I'm glad we cut the bottom three out. I never liked how some of our teams had to burn so many pitchers in such few days.. championship games and semi final games with scores of 17-10? No thanks.

Good point, the deeper format burned starting pitcher in 1 vs 7 & 2 vs 6 games.........this 4 team format will have the best arms going head to head

I agree. With 7 teams, it is easy to overwork pitches. To your last point, the tourney is in New Mexico so there may  still be some high scoring games.

I never took into account those points.   It was just something I notice when looking at the brackets.  It looks like its still a double elimination.   Here is the line to the pdf.

Here is last years bracket.

We basically cut out a day and 5 games.  I like the new format and hope they keep it when Boise St gets baseball going to be the 8th baseball team.

Is Boise for sure starting up baseball? I kind of liked how each team had a bye for a weekend series and could get a series with another conference with odd number of teams, like us and Clemson this year.
