Why is NC State and Pit given the best days (Tues & Wed) for pool play?
Teams that play on Tuesday and Wed (Pitt and NC state) can use their number 1 and 2 pitchers twice in the week if they win their pools, while VT (# 1 seed) plays on Thursday and Friday and can only use its best two pitchers once each. Seems odd to give the biggest advantage to the lower seeds. I wonder why they do that? What am I missing?

IIRC, upon reading rules, 1 & 2 seeds get first choice of days off.**

Because of when VT plays, we can treat this Tournament just like we do

Unwritten ACC rule: Tobacco Road teams always get the advantage.**
