Maybe I'm not thinking this out, but ........  because they're a day behind now?

[Aging_Arbiter]

I'm hoping that Hawaii wins

oh I'm sure that's why, however, they have the whole day to play 4 games, no reason I can think of to have them bunched. Also now I can't watch all 4

Jeff, I get that, originally there were two on the calendar for today - understood, but still, why not spread them out over the course of the day

 

edit - here's the forecast as well, would seem starting earlier would have made sense as well 

 

Quote

A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. West wind 7 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

They are making sure that he is rested and ready for the big games over the weekend!

[Aging_Arbiter]

That's what I've been thinking, but I'm not going to jynx anything..........................

 

 

P.S.  Hawaii winning helped his cause.

[Aging_Arbiter]

well folks.  With NY losing last night, our very own @maineump is set up (and due) for any one of the 3 championship plate games.  Best of luck TROY.

did it matter who advanced for the assignments?

I would imagine they wouldn't want you to work the dish for a team from your region. And I believe that Maine would be considered mid-Atlantic.

I imagine Troy could come on at some point and give us the down low.

Interesting. So me being in Portland. If I was there and Idaho and Hawaii both advanced. I wouldn't have been allowed to work the plate for Hawaii because they would both have come out of regionals in San Bernardino? 

[BT_Blue]

Any word on Troy's assignments for today or tomorrow?
