The Road to Omaha begins this weekend with Regional action. Here’s all you need to know
The Road to Omaha begins in earnest this week.
Starting Friday, regional action in the Men’s College World Series begins. While the Men’s College World Series is the most well-known part of the Division I baseball tournament, the 64-team tournament begins this week at various sites throughout the college baseball world.
Here are the teams, schedules, and more as it all gets underway Friday.
How does the NCAA Division 1 baseball tournament work?
The NCAA Division 1 baseball tournament has four stages, the last of which is the Men’s College World Series Finals. It begins with the Regionals, or the first round of the tournament, and that stage gets underway this week.
This portion of the tournament sees the 64 teams split into 16 four-team brackets. Each four-team bracket sees the teams seeded #1 through #4, and they participate in a double-elimination tournament, culminating in a winner for each bracket.
Those 16 teams advance to the Super Regionals, where they are split into eight pairings. These pairings then play a best-of-three series, leaving just eight teams standings.
The third stage is the Men’s College World Series, where the eight winners of the Super Regionals descend upon Omaha, Nebraska. The eight teams are split into two double-elimination brackets, consisting of four teams each.
The winners of the two brackets then meet in the Men’s College World Series Finals, where they play a best-of-three series to determine the NCAA Champion.
