    Can you confirm the dates of the Class AA sectional semi and finals? I have a schedule showing that the semi-finals is Saturday, 5/26 and the finals are Thursday, 5/31. The bracket you posted shows 5/29 and 6/1.

    Why would Guilderland (12-8) be seeded ahead of Shen (13-5)?

  4. Joe

    Why is the AA tournament Tues, Thurs, Tues, Thurs and all the other tournaments (A,B,C,D) are Tues, Thurs, Sat, Thurs?

  5. Baseball fan

    Why would the AA final be at 4 while the A final is at 7? Even tho they are on diff games the top class (AA) should play at night

    @Baseball364 – I was wondering the same thing, but I believe Suburban baseball follows the same seeding process that basketball uses which is the point system (1 pt for win in division & 2 pts for win out of division). Guilderland must have beaten teams in Suburban North to earn 2 pts (they beat Shen). What about Shaker being seeded #6 with a 13-5 record and Guilderland #3 with 12-8? Seems crazy.

    @Joe … just to clarify – AA plays Tues, Thurs, Tues @ The Joe, and final is on Friday @ The Joe.

    Point system is correct. It’s a crazy way to determine seeding. You have better team records with lower seeding. Doesn’t make sense to me. No games on the weekend because the Joe is hosting the MAC tournament

    BYE BYE BIG 10 ! Good ridens CBA … All Suburban semi-finals !!

  12. Who cares about seedings, if you want to win the title you have to beat the best. Good luck to whoever represents section 2.
