Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Baseball Tournament Champions
The ACC Baseball Tournament is currently a two-group round robin tournament with the winners of each group facing each other in a one-game match for the championship. The championship tournament is traditionally held in Jacksonville, Florida at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
The ACC Baseball Championship has had a history of formats since first being held in 1973. Until 1979 the tournament had seven teams, resulting in a format where the #1 seed received a bye to play the winner of the #4 v #5 match-up. The first round of the tournament was single-elimination and the remaining 4 teams played a tradition double-elimination-style tournament. In 1979 there was no tournament held. The regular season winner Clemson was given the conference's automatic bid to the 1979 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
From 1980 to 2004 the ACC Baseball Tournamnet began using a format of a double-elimination series. They modified it slightly to prevent teams playing each other twice if at all possible. Beginning in 1991 with nine teams participating a "play in"ame was added. The bottom two teams in the conference regular season standings played for the 8th spot in the tournament. In 2004, the ACC began using a true eight-team double-elimination tournament with the bottom two teams in regular season conference play facing each other in a single-elimination game.
In 2005 with an expansion to eleven teams the format was revised to two four-team double-elimination brackets with winner of each side playing in a single championship game. The bottom four teams in conference play faced off in a single-elimination bracket, to determine the 8th tornament team.
Currently, only the top eight teams participated in the two four-team double-elimination brackets, the winners meeting in the championship game.
