2002 NCBA World Series
The 2002 National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) World Series was played at Hobbs Field in Pueblo, CO from May 23 to May 27. The second tournament's champion was Texas A&M University.[1]
Format
The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with the only difference being that in the NCBA, there is only one game that decides the national championship rather than a best-of-3 like the NCAA. A major difference between the NCAA and NCBA World Series is that NCBA World Series games were only 7 innings (until 2006) while NCAA games are 9 innings.
