Playoff 1 or 3 games...

[snafu]

Who or what decides if it is going to be a 1 or 3 game playoff between teams?

[Ballplayer14]

If the coaches don't agree, I believe it goes to a coin toss

[Peppermint Patty]

Coin flip in the early rounds if coaches can not agree.

State Tournament is single game.

No requirement to ever play 2 out of 3 games, read below from UIL:

3) PLAY-OFF GAMES
Pre-Planning
• Details of all play-off games from bi-district to state shall be arranged by the two teams involved. This includes site
selection. In case there is a dispute regarding a neutral or home site or time of a game, it shall be settled by the flip of
a coin (Note: Unless mutually agreed, all games shall be played at a midpoint site for schools located more than 100
miles apart.)
• Bi-district games may not be played until after the final date for district certification in that respective conference,
unless permission is granted by all possible next round opponents. All other playoff games may not be played until
after the final date for completion of the prior round championships.
• Play-off games may not be played until after the final date for completion of the prior round championships, exception
bi-district.
Single Elimination or Two-Out-of-Three Series
• Play-off games may be single elimination or two-out-of-three from bi-district to state. If neither method is mutually
agreeable, a coin flip shall determine play-off format.
Two-out-of-three
• If a schools play a two-out-of-three elimination series, the first (and only the first) game may be played prior to Friday,
provided there is no loss of school time traveling to or participating in the game. Please refer to the C&CR, Section 1220
(h) for rules regarding two-out-of-three game series.
• Schools playing a two-out-of-three series should set parameters for the series prior to the first game. The parameters
should include, but not limited to the following areas: how the schools will handle weather problems and delays, how
far schools will travel to find an available field, giving up home field advantage and securing officials must be discussed
before one team gains a position of advantage after the first game is completed and the weather is a factor.
• A two-out-of-three series that does not get a complete game in by the end of the day Friday automatically reverts to
a one game series.
30 Post-Season Regulations
• If one game is played and a second game cannot be played on Saturday because of weather, then the winner of the
game advances to the next round.
• If two games are played (and split) and the third game cannot be played on Saturday because of weather conditions,
then the third and deciding game should be played on Monday of the next week.

Should always be a seris IMO. I hate seeing a team advance that has no depth and 1 good pitcher.

Maybe they meet at a truck stop on a dark night and flip coins.... and play best 2 out of 3 out evens odds on coin flip... that is to determine the site in which they will decide who will call the flip.... then they flip there to decide who gets to make the call then flip for the spot in which the flip that determines what kind of series will be played..... oh snap now i am confused.....
