2010 GREAT LAKES SUMMER COLLEGIATE LEAGUE NEWS

2009 GLSCL Revised Tournament Format

The following format will be used for this year�??s rain-shortened tournament, substituting for the six-team, double-elimination tournament:

The tournament consists of the top six teams in regular-season league play and is split into two 3-team pools or pods, with the winner of each pod playing in a single championship game. Teams are assigned pods based on seed, which is determined by the order of finish in regular-season league play.

Each team is guaranteed to play three games. Teams in each pod play two teams in its pod and one team outside its pod. The team with the best composite record in each pod advances to the championship game. Two-way ties in a pod are broken by head-to-head play; three-way tides are broken in order of the following criteria: 

(a) fewest runs allowed; (b) the highest seed.  The higher seed will be home team throughout the tournament.

Pod 1                                                               Pod 2

Lima (#1)                                                        Grand Lake (#2)

Licking County (#4)                                       Cincinnati (#3)
