Contents
The college baseball regular season is winding down and the postseason is right around the corner. Here’s everything you need to know about when the NCAA will announce the regional sites for the 2019 tournament.
When are the college baseball regionals announced?
The college baseball regionals are announced on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
How are the college baseball regionals determined?
The college baseball regional sites are determined by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. The committee meets in late May or early June to select the field of 64 teams that will compete in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. Once the field has been selected, the committee then assigns each team to one of 16 regionals.
The committee uses a number of criteria to determine which teams will receive at-large bids and be assigned to which regional sites. These include, but are not limited to, a team’s record against other squads that are under consideration for at-large berths, its conference record, its strength of schedule, and how it fared against teams that earned automatic bids by winning their conference championships.
What are the college baseball regionals?
The college baseball regionals are a series of tournaments that are held each year to determine the champions of Division I baseball. Each tournament consists of four teams, with the winners advancing to the College World Series.
The college baseball regionals are typically held in mid-May, with the announcement of the participating teams being made in late April or early May. The exact date and time of the announcement varies from year to year, but it is usually made on a Monday afternoon.
