The College World Series is the culmination of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship which determines the NCAA Division I college baseball champion. It takes place in June of each year. Since 1950, the tournament has been held at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska; previous tournaments were held at Hyames Field in Kalamazoo, Michigan (1947-48) and Wichita, Kansas (1949). The name is derived from that of the Major League Baseball World Series championship. The 2006 College World Series took place June 16-22 with championship games June 24-26. Participating teams included Cal State Fullerton, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Oregon State, and Rice. Oregon State defeated North Carolina 2-1 in the best-of-three final. The 8-team tournament concludes the NCAA baseball tournament. When the tournament had 48 teams, there were 8 six-team regionals, with the winners advancing to the College World Series. With the tournament's current size of 64 teams, adopted in 1999, there are 16 four-team double-elimination regionals. Regional winners advance to 8 head-to-head best-of-three super regionals, and super regional winners advance to the College World Series. Through 1987, the College World Series was a pure double-elimination event. The format was changed in 1988, when the tournament was divided into two four-team double-elimination brackets, with the survivors of each bracket playing in a single championship game. The single-game championship was made for broadcast television, with the final game traditionally on CBS. But in 2003 the tournament was shifted entirely to ESPN, and the championship final became a best-of-three series between the last two remaining teams.
