The College World Series (CWS) is an annual baseball tournament held in June in Omaha, Nebraska. The CWS is the culmination of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Baseball Championship tournament--featuring 64 teams in the first round--which determines the NCAA Division I college baseball champion. The eight participating teams are split into two, four-team, double-elimination brackets, with the winners of each bracket playing in a best-of-three championship series.
The 2020 College World Series was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
Since 1950, the College World Series (CWS) has been held in Omaha, Nebraska.[2][3] It was held at Rosenblatt Stadium from 1950 through 2010; starting in 2011, it has been held at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. Earlier tournaments were held at Hyames Field in Kalamazoo, Michigan (1947-48), and Lawrence Stadium in Wichita, Kansas (1949). The name "College World Series" is derived from that of the Major League Baseball World Series championship; it is currently an MLB trademark licensed to the NCAA.[4]
On March 13, 2020, it was announced that the 2020 College World Series was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] This will be the first year in college baseball history since the start of the World Series will this event will not happen. The NCAA came out with this statement "The NCAA on March 12 announced the cancellation of the College World Series in an effort to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus." The NCAA will continue the event in the summer of 2021.
On June 10, 2009, the NCAA and College World Series of Omaha, Inc., which is the non-profit group that organizes the event, announced a new 25-year contract extension, keeping the CWS in Omaha through 2035.[5] A memorandum of understanding had been reached by all parties on April 30.[6]
The currently binding contract began in 2011, the same year the tournament moved from Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, a new ballpark across from CHI Health Center Omaha.
