Baseball tournaments

Of all the sports, baseball most demands that the results not be based upon a single game. Several factors enter into this, but suffice it to say that over a season, even the very good teams will not win much over 60% of their games. It is interesting that the further down the baseball ladder you go, the shorter (and therefore less valid) the tournaments are. The major leagues play the best of five and best of seven. The NCAA at least has double elimination. But in Arkansas, one game and you are gone. Nothing right about that, but circumstances being what they are with high school students, that probably will never change.
