For regionals and super regionals, the home team dugout designated by the host facility for the regular season is the home dugout. The home team will select the desired uniform color first. The visiting team must wear a contrasting uniform color to the jersey of the home team. Discrepancies will be settled by the site representative in consultation with the umpire. As a reminder, when teams play back-to-back games, teams must be prepared to change uniforms, if necessary. Noncompliance with this policy may result in misconduct as outlined in the Softball Pre-championship Manual.

The home team for the first round will be the higher-seeded team. In the event two unseeded teams will meet, the committee will determine which team is assigned the home designation. In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to the following formula:

1. The games committee shall designate as home team the institution that has been home team the fewest times (regionals and finals are considered separately).
2. If two teams have been home team an equal number of times but visiting team an unequal number of times, the team that has been the visitor most often shall be designated as home team.
3. If two teams have been both home team and visiting team an equal number of times, and if the two teams previously met, the visitor in the initial game shall be the home team in the second game.
4. If games between the same teams are back to back, the home team shall be the visitor from the previous game regardless of the number of times either team has been home or visitor.
5. If two teams have been both home team and visiting team an equal number of times, the team that was the visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were the visitor in their preceding games.
6. If the preceding formula does not prevail, the higher-seeded team shall have the choice of being home team or visitor.
7. When teams play back-to-back games, they must be prepared to change uniforms, if necessary.
