Is the NCAA baseball tournament single or double-elimination? Putting the NCAA format under the microscope

The 2024 NCAA baseball tournament is just around the corner. On Monday, all 64 teams for the postseason were announced and split into 16 brackets as part of the regionals.

The NCAA baseball tournament is a double-elimination competition. After the regionals and the super regionals, only eight teams will remain in contention for the College World Series.

The CWS is held at the iconic Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The eight teams are divided into two brackets and the winners of each group meet in the CWS finals for a best-of-three series to crown the national champion.

Here's the full schedule for the postseason:

  • Regionals: May 31-June 3
  • Super regionals: June 7-9 or June 8-10
  • College World Series start: Friday, June 14
  • College World Series finals: June 22-24
