In its final format, the top six finishers participated in the double-elimination tournament, which was most recently played at Crushers Stadium in Avon, Ohio, from 2012 through 2019. The winner of the tournament received an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The tournament began in 1981, but was not held from 1984 through 1991. It returned in 1992 and was held annually through 2019. It was scheduled to be played in May 2020, but was cancelled in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
