Las Vegas - 55 Major Tournament Draft
I was going over the 55 Major seeding games at 8am and 9:30. I noticed that after the 8am game we have 9 teams moving to a new dugout or sitting out for the 9:30am games. You could modify the schedule so that 4 teams stay put for the 2nd game- it might speed things up.

You could change the field numbers only for the 9:30am games to 3, 4,1, and 2. So your 9:30am games : OC 55 Braves vs RG Outlaws on field 3- not 1
D&K Tradition vs AOS 55 field 4 - not 2
Rookies Hard 10s vs West Coast Water l field 1- not 3
OG 55s vs WPI/ Wilson and Sons field 2- not 4
Not a huge deal either deal either way, but may save some time.

Hi Mike ... You are an astute observer, which I appreciate and respect! ... Normally, I would have done as you suggest, but there are extenuating circumstances whenever Shadow Rock is the location because of the public chirping ... I wrote this schedule in an attempt to balance the number of games by team played on Fields #1-2 as opposed to #3-4 because there is a marked difference between those two combinations ... The goal, which was met about as well as could be done, was to have teams play once on each side on Friday ... The only team that plays twice on #3-4 is Team 14 ... The only teams that play two on #1-2 are Team 5 and Team 12 ... A .786 batting average (11 for 14) isn't great, but it's not bad either ... ALL games for the 55-Major and the 40-Women-Major on Championship Sunday are played only on the #3-4 pair of fields ...

Actually only a .714 batting average! Team 2 plays both games on field #2 on Friday but no public chirping here. It's still better than working on Friday.

If you go to the plate 56 times the difference is 4 hits. 40-56 to 44-56.
