Time for a softball TOC

1 – Sectional Sites: Do not assign the Group-Sectional Final sites until the final four teams are determined, this way a central location may be easier to assign.

2 – Seed like volleyball does. No more record only, assign a points system much like the one that works so well in volleyball.

3 - Time for a TOC, lacrosse does it. Why can't softball. Softball and baseball are not the same sport. They maybe counterparts on paper, but the rules are so different that keeping softball on a baseball schedule is a shame.
