Please correct me if I am wrong but we want to be in 1st place On May 10th right? Sweep this weekend is all we can hope for and hopefully Vandy slips once right?

All the BaseVols can do is take care of their own business by winning the remaining series.

But May 10th is the date this year as far as seeding ETC???? I just want to make sure I am clear on that.

That is my understanding.

On May 10 they will choose 20 sights to be the potential 16 hosts.

It’s my understanding they will choose 20 potential host sites. This will allow those sites to get compliant with whatever the NCAA requires. I don’t think the host sites/teams will be seeded till later.

Wonder if it will be state mandate specific or one rule for all?

The seeding will not take place until the regular date after SEC tournament. They are naming 20 potential host sites for Regional and 8 of those will be super regional sites. They are hoping that 8 regional hosts win so they can be the super regional hosts but when applying you agree that even if you are not in the super regional you will still host.
The 20 versus 16 is the fact that a school could not get compliant by the next date or a state could enact a Covid enforcement such as reduce % of capacity that would prevent a school from hosting. That is very relevant since it seems us and Vandy will be hosts, several in TExas and a couple in Florida. So if any state changed their %'s it could reduce the host sites by 2 or more. You have until a given date which has not been posted that I know of to prove your ability to meet #'s of seats and Covid preparedness. I'm guessing they bring in extra seats by Arkansas for this purpose and I'm guessing they are strict on enforcement of NCAA Covid rules for the Arkansas series.
