Was not a time constraint. Coaches choice to play winner take all.
I looked at the bracket on the ASA website and it clearly shows the tournament would be a double elimination tournament. So there must have been a reason they changed it mid-tournament.
You are correct about the double elimination.
The coaches of the 2 teams were given a choice before Championship Game to play the "if" game. The coaches choice was to play only 1 game, winner take all.
Couldn't have been a time constraint, the 16U Championship game on the field next to them started about the 6 or 7th inning of the 14U game.
