There was a slight adjustment to the tournament's format in 1991, even though the field size remained fixed at 32 teams.
The bracket was reorganized from eight regional tournaments of four teams, with each regional winner advancing to the national quarterfinal round, to a new structure of four sectionals of eight teams. Under the new format, the four sectional champions advanced to the national semifinal, or Final Four, round.
