Format

The format for the NCBA Division I World Series was modified in 2011. From 2001 to 2010, there were two separate four team double elimination brackets similar to the NCAA College World Series with the exception a one-game championship between the two bracket winners.

Starting in 2011, the losers of Games 1-4 were sent to the other half of the bracket. With this format, there could be a possibility of two teams meeting in the first round playing in the national championship game (this happened in this World Series as East Carolina and Florida State met in the first round and played each other in the title game).
