Summary

Ducks Target CWS

History

Historical Context

The NCAA introduced the regional format in 1975, staging eight four-team double-elimination brackets that fed an eight-team College World Series, a structure that still underpins the tournament. Subsequent expansions raised the field to 48 teams in 1987 and added best-of-three super regionals in 1999. The 2024 Eugene regional mirrors the original layout, drawing over 10,000 fans.
