Championship Bracket Information


The Baseball Brackets Regional Championships are being voted on right now with the most popular teams in each class/level being announced next Wednesday night. That's not the end of the first ever Baseball Brackets though as we still need to decide the overall most popular team in all of Minor League and Independent baseball.

The Championship Bracket will do just that. The bracket will consist of the eight Regional Champions who will be seeded 1 - 8 based on the average number of votes each received per round. The team with the highest average number of votes per round will obviously be seeded #1, with the lowest being seeded #8. We decided to base the seeding on average number of votes, instead of total votes, since some teams received first-round byes and thus competed in one less game. The voting dates for the three-round tournament are:

Elite Eight: Thursday, April 16 - Monday, April 20
  • #1 Seed vs. #8 Seed
  • #4 Seed vs. #5 Seed
  • #3 Seed vs. #6 Seed
  • #2 Seed vs. #7 Seed
Final Four: Tuesday, April 21 - Saturday, April 25

Overall Baseball Brackets Championship: Sunday, April 26 - Thursday, April 30
