NCS Baseball Tournament history

The North Coast Section Baseball Tournament kicks off this weekend with a full slate of games. The tournament, which began inway back in 1909, is the oldest continuously-run high school baseball tournament in the country.

Over the years, the tournament has undergone many changes. In its early years, it was open to any team in the section that wanted to compete. But as interest in the sport grew, so did the size of the tournament. By the late 1920s, it had ballooned to nearly 60 teams.

In order to keep the tournament manageable, organizers decided to limit it to just 24 teams beginning in 1930. That format remained in place for nearly 60 years, until it was expanded to 32 teams in 1988.

Another big change came in 2006, when the NCS decided to do away with automatic qualifiers and instead have all teams compete in a Playoff Game just to get into the tournament proper.

The current format has 64 teams playing first-round games this week, with those winners advancing to the double-elimination main draw next week. The Championship game will be played on Saturday, May 27 at Berkeley’s Evans Diamond.
