The America East Conference Baseball Tournament, officially known as the America East Conference Baseball Championship, is the conference baseball championship of the NCAA Division I America East Conference. The top four finishers in the regular season of the conference's six eligible teams advance to the double-elimination tournament, which is in the midst of a five year residency at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts.[1][2] The winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.[3] Prior to 1998, the tournament was a six-team double-elimination format. After 2009, the conference also began allowing schools to host the championship on fields without lights.

History

1993–1994

See, for example, 1994 North Atlantic Conference Baseball Tournament.

For the first two tournaments, the event was held over two weekends. On the first, the opening round consisted of best-of-three series, for which the league's eight members were paired. The winners of the four opening round series advanced to a double-elimination final round.

1995–1997

See, for example, 1997 America East Conference Baseball Tournament.

For these three tournaments, the event was held in a single weekend. Its format was the six-team double-elimination format of NCAA Regionals at the time.

1998–present

See, for example, 2001 America East Conference Baseball Tournament.

The current format, adopted for the 1998 tournament, is four-team double-elimination. In some years, the event has been held at a campus location, while in others, it has been held at a neutral site.[4]
