Tournament seed question (home vs. visitor)

I don't know if there are any hard and fast rules on this, but in my experience where home/visitor are not decided by coin flip then these are often handled with the team at the top of the bracket being home team.

For what it's worth, our LL has a long tradition of taking visitor when winning the coin flip in tournament games, the logic being we want the opportunity to be the first team with runs on the board.

For the record, that is exactly what eventually happened. We won 15-10!
