[DC 86]

There are a set of rules to determine the "home" team, specifically:

1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament shall be
designated the home team.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the
team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall
be the home team in the game in question.
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors
in their preceding games.

In the case of tonight's game, Stanford and Fullerton had each played one game and been the home team for that game, so the above rules didn't settle the matter, hence the coin toss. Over the course of the tournament the rules for determining the home team do ensure as much fairness as possible.
