Again it appears Patty Gasso's speaking out about inequities in the WCWS has been listened to and needed changes are being made. Yes Patty just continues to make the sport better by presence and contributions.
The scheduling change, taking the tournament from a seven-day event to nine days, eliminates the doubleheader for teams that lose on the tournament’s opening day, and adds a day of rest between the end of bracket play and the best-of-three championship series.
The additional two days for the WCWS will also increase the economic impact of the event for the Oklahoma City metro area. The seven-day tournament had an estimated $24 million economic impact, according to the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau.
