The Ivy League website is silent on when Princeton will play the loser out of the winner's bracket. I asked whether it would be Monday because one of the main features of the double elimination structure is that it gives the winner out of the winner's bracket an extra day of rest when the second elimination game is played. In baseball, that gives the winner of the winner's bracket one more day for pitchers to rest while the losers of course have to turn around and play the next day.

If Princeton plays the second game of a double header tomorrow against the loser of Penn/Cornell, then the winner of Penn/Cornell would be denied its extra day of rest. Not the worst tragedy in the world of course, but it defeats one of the built-in features of a double-elimination baseball bracket.
