I believe its 22 this year . last season was 20 but some teams had to play two games in one day so I believe they changed it to 22 and there will not be two games in one day this year .
All it does is make more teams happy to say they made it into the tournament. There is not enough days to lengthen the tournament. Kids suffer now with the tournament jammed in with finals.
The real problem is the regular season. They should regulate that everyone has to play 10 in state games. Some schools won't play certain schools. That needs to be fixed.

What we need is double headers on Saturday's, schedule 2 a year to get to 20 games
pretty sure it's 24...i think 20 was a good number. at 16, alot of 11-7 and 12-6 teams were getting left out
Doesn't really matter in Delaware. Either Caravel or St Marks wins every year
Honestly, the only way you can really get that done is if baseball started maybe a week, two weeks early. The rainy season is so consistent around here, it's a wonder teams get anything close to 18 in.
The 2018 tournament field will consist of twenty-four (24) teams: 1. The Champions of following Conference/Flight/Divisions - Blue Hen Flight A, Blue Hen Flight B, Henlopen North, Henlopen South, Diamond State Conference, the Independent Conference, as selected by that Conference’s criteria. 2. Eighteen (18) at-large teams, selected by the criteria found in Item 1.D (below). B. Eligible Teams: 1. All teams must meet the criteria established by DIAA Regulation 1006.2.4 to be eligible for tournament consideration. 2. A team must have a winning percentage of .500 or higher at the varsity level. 3. A team must play a minimum of sixteen (16) varsity games. 4. Team schedules will ‘lock down’ on Wednesday, March 21, 2018. No games can be added after this date. Team index will be determined by the number of games scheduled for the season at that date. IE: If the schedule has eighteen games, the index is based on eighteen games. If the schedule has seventeen games, the index is based on seventeen game. If a game is cancelled on May 21 due to unplayable conditions that are beyond reasonable control, the tournament committee chairperson has to be contacted (Mike Hart-H-998-7390, C-743-5236, W-654-7736). If the game is approved as dropped the team index is based on one less game. C. Conference/Flight/Division Champions’ automatic berths will be determined by the following qualifying criteria: 1. A Conference/Flight/Division must consist of five participating schools to receive an automatic berth. If a Conference/Flight/Division has fewer than five participating teams, the teams are still eligible for an at-large berth. 2. The champion must possess a .500 winning percentage record or better.
Teams will be seeded according to their point indices as determined by Item 2.B (above). 2. The eight teams with the highest point indices will be seeded #1-8 and will receive a bye in the first round. 3. If a team is unable to participate in the tournament for any reason and announces its intentions before the committee selects the field, that team will be replaced by the next best team as determined by the at-large selection process. If a school withdraws after the field has been selected, its team will not be replaced and its scheduled opponent will receive a bye into the next round of play. a. A school may be subject to disciplinary action by the DIAA Board of Directors if its team withdraws after the firstround pairings have been established.
does it say anything about double headers for the first round?
website for sports is showing just these days for the tournament, and seems to be one day short if the 9-24 seeds were to play on their own day.
