NCAA manages to make baseball playoffs almost incomprehensible to somebody who hasn’t followed it before . . . 4-team, double-elim. regional . . . best-of-3 super . . . 4-team, double-elim. CWS bracket . . . best-of-3 title series.

Personally, I hate the four-team tournaments . . . it’d be fairer and easier to understand to go entirely to head-to-head series; the byes in double-elim. tournaments are unfair and lead to the “winner of Game X vs. loser of Game Y.”
