Tournament

The Mountain West Conference baseball tournament is a four-team double-elimination tournament held annually at various location in the Mountain West Conference region. The winner receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I baseball tournament. Other teams may receive an at-large tournament bid.

History

The Mountain West Conference baseball tournament began in 2000 as a six-team double-elimination tournament. It maintained that format through 2005. In 2006, with the addition of TCU, the tournament expanded to include all seven teams. However, in 2007 the format returned to a six-team bracket, with the seventh-place regular season team left out of the field. In 2012, with only five teams in the league, the tournament consisted of a four-team double elimination tournament. While they did have a regular season champion in 2021, they had no tournament. [1]
