INCLEMENT WEATHER
The primary goal is to play games according to the published schedule [two games Friday, two games
on Saturday, two games on Sunday and one game on Monday (if necessary)]. You should keep in touch
with local weather bureau and we also recommend that you evaluate the weather via www.weather.gov
or www.weather.com. Lightning should be evaluated via the Weather Sentry Online system. Please use
these weather-monitoring devices when trying to determine starting times after a delay.
As a general rule, no game should start later the 11 pm local time.

If both Friday games are cancelled…play two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and two

game on Monday (if necessary). (1-3-2-1)

If two games are played on Friday and both Saturday games are cancelled…play three
games on Sunday and two games Monday. (2-0-3-2)
4.

games on Sunday, three games on Monday and two games on Tuesday. (0-0-2-3-2)
LIGHTING
Lighting Requirements. Light levels in the primary playing area (PPA) should be brightly lit with uniform lighting throughout the area. Vertical light levels (illuminating the sides of the players) should be
maximized without creating severe glare for student-athletes and spectators. The lighting should also
provide adequate light levels in the bottom 10 to 15 rows of seats to allow camera operators exciting
crowd shots. For lighting requirements, please refer to the NCAA best practices link below. The lighting
should be evenly distributed on the PPA. The perimeter of the playing surface should have sufficient
spill light into the spectator areas. One of the most important areas of proper lighting at televised sporting events is the smoothness of the lighting levels (this means there are no major jumps in lighting levels
when the same camera pans the field). More information is available in Section Two of the NCAA
Broadcasting Manual (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=893).

FACILITIES & SERVICES
LOCKER ROOMS
1.) Teams are encouraged to dress at their hotels. Full locker rooms will not be provided.
Teams are asked to not leave belongings in the facilities. Restrooms will be available behind
the dugouts. Teams are asked to shower in their hotel rooms after each game.
LAUNDRY
Laundry service is available following all practices and games. A LSU representative will meet
with you during practice times. Arrangements for this service must be made by calling George
Branigan at 225-578-4336 or 225-268-9844. Laundry will be picked up and returned to teams
at Alex Box Stadium. Please indicate your preference when making your arrangements.
MUSIC
1.) No warm-up tapes are permissible. Only band(s) and electronic scoreboard music will be
used. The LSU Marketing Department will select and administer all music.
2.) WALK-UP MUSIC - The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee voted to eliminate introductory/”walk-up” music during all rounds of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. Such
music has sometimes been played in the past before a hitter steps into the batter’s box.
PRACTICE FACILITIES
Should you care to schedule additional practice time, or in the event that your scheduled practice is cancelled due to inclement weather, LSU has arranged for the following alternate practice site options. Please contact Brendan Fouracre- 225-939-3671 should you be interested in
scheduling one of these two facilities:
1.) Football Operations Indoor Practice Facility – located across Skip Bertman Drive from Alex
Box Stadium. This space will be made available for running, stretching and throwing, should
weather conditions dictate. Available by appointment only.
2.) University High School Practice Field- located adjacent to the Football Operations building.
This field will be made available by appointment only, and may be used for additional practice
if desired.
In addition we have contacted an indoor Baseball Club in Baton Rouge who would be happy to
accommodate your teams for hitting and/or fielding and pitching. These facilities and scheduling contacts are listed below. Please be advised that use of these facilities is at your own expense.

DRUG TESTING & DUGOUTS
DRUG TESTING
NCAA championships committees, following a recommendation from the NCAA drug-testing subcommittee, have discontinued the practice of announcing whether drug testing will be conducted at NCAA
championship events. Although knowing prior to competition whether NCAA drug testing was to occur
had value for reasons of convenience, it left open the possibility that student-athletes might be tempted
to use banned substances if they knew that NCAA testing was not being conducted at the site of competition. Therefore, all coaches and student-athletes should presume that NCAA drug testing will occur at
this championship event. Please note that no student-athlete will be notified of or escorted to NCAA
drug testing without the knowledge of an official, credentialed representative from that student-athlete’s
institution.
DUGOUTS AND HOME TEAM DETERMINATION
For first-round games during championship competition, the highest-seeded team shall be designated as
the home team. In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to a formula applied
by the games committee.
In determining which of two teams in any game will be the home team, the games committee or the
NCAA game representative shall designate the home team using the following guidelines:
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor,
then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games
committee or the NCAA game representative shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game
shall be the home team in the game in question
(Exception: In a two-team tournament where both teams have been the home team twice, the fifth game
will be determined by a coin flip);
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games; or
c. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin flip.
During the pre-championship meeting for the regional and super regional, the host institution must designate whether the first or third base dugout will be the home team dugout for the entire tournament.
TOBACCO BAN
The use of all tobacco products is prohibited by student-athletes and game personnel [e.g., coaches, umpires, athletic trainers, student managers, NCAA game representative(s), tournament director(s), etc.]
during practice sessions and game competition. Umpires are instructed to take a zero tolerance policy in
this area. The use of tobacco products during other championship activities, such as press conferences
and postgame interviews, is prohibited. Violations of this regulation shall be dealt with by the appropriate sports committee in accordance with Rule 3-11 of the NCAA Baseball Rules Book and the misconduct provisions of Bylaw 31.1.10.
8
PERSONNEL & COACHES MEETINGS
BALLS
Teams will furnish their own practice baseballs; however, each team will be furnished two warmup baseballs before each game. The Rawlings RINCAA (with Extra Innings Technology) baseball,
the official championship baseball, will be used in all NCAA tournament games.
The NCAA shall order 30 dozen baseballs for regionals and 15 dozen for super regionals and have
them direct-shipped to the attention of the tournament manager at all regional and super regional
sites.
BAT HANDLERS
Bat handlers must be 13 years of age or older to serve in this capacity at any NCAA regional, super regional and Men’s College World Series competition. LSU will provide batgirls by request.
Request for batgirls will be taken at the administrative meeting Thursday, May 28th at 5:30PM.
BATTING CAGES
Practice Day:
Each team will have the option to use the batting cage for one-hour prior to the scheduled hour
and fifteen minute practice on the stadium field.
Game-Day:
Batting cage practice will be scheduled according to team’s timing sheets.
COACHES MEETING
A meeting of the coaches of the competing teams, umpires and members of the games committee
will be held on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 5:30PM at the LSU Team Room of Alex Box Stadium before the beginning of the tournament and before each round of competition (after the firstround games) to determine home and visiting teams, review ground rules, and dispense with any
problems that may arise.
Head coaches are required to attend this meeting and it is considered misconduct if they do not do
so. Assistant coaches, an administrator and the sports information director are requested to be in
attendance.
