If everyone is cleared to play near the end of April, how about each district having a tournament to  determine top 4 seeds. Double Elimination.

double elimination would never work.

too many games and not enough pitching. 

i can see them playing everybody in district once.  at most they can get that done in two weeks if you do 3 games a week tuesday/friday/saturday.   

start playoffs a couple weeks late and do first two rounds of playoff single game eliminations.  first found tuesday/second round friday then you are back on schedule

Obviously, a two round district games will Take to long and no more than two games a week. Don’t care what class your in unless your team has twenty plus pitchers three games a week is not doable. Just go one district round and the districts that have already started just pick up where they left off. Every one should get done in three weeks.

Question. What school gets to host this tourney?

Let the district committees vote on teams that throw their name in the hat that want to host.  Would need more than one field in the beginning. Just cause you host doesn't mean you are home team.

they do 3 games a week in the playoffs so i would say they are doable.

It will never happen, but simply get rid of state tournament so as not to fight scheduling conflicts for facilities this year.  Push back playoffs by several weeks and let the boys play until the end of July!  If game play can start at some point in April this is doable and most districts could play a full schedule with limited or no 3 game weeks. Playoffs can start in June and let it last 7 weeks.  Finals and semis can meet in a neutral site and play 2 out of 3 in 2 days. Makes administrative duties for the UIL much easier.  Always wish it had been this way to start with. 

If graduated seniors can't behave through the summer on a playoff team, boot them off the squad.  

This former coach would love baseball for weeks without classroom responsibilities. Plus, AD's and some principals could be angry about "dealing" with baseball during the summer.  Little 7 on 7 over baseball payback for some guys.  Bitter and bitchy, YES I AM! lol

As we sit stuck at home, figured I would try to stir some thoughts on pushing the season's back.  Think on this, push back hoops by 2 weeks and baseball/softball by a month.  Small school coaches sharing athletes have at least some reasons to favor this.

Sure it would work. It works all the time on weekends. Time for little Johnny to toe the rubber since he’s already got a sneaker deal and about to sign with the Yankees. No participation ribbons needed.
