Please feel free to list your new college baseball-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYK has a limit of 5 days for the creation of an article or the heavy expansion of it. Please remember to add {{persondata}} to the biographical articles you create.

  • not be marked as stubs;
  • contain more than 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes) in main body text (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables);
  • cite their sources (these sources should be properly labelled; that is, not under an "External links" header); and
  • be no more than five days old (unless it had fewer than 1,500 characters, and has been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days).

Please place newest articles on the top

Tournament Brackets

I know we began to discuss this in the previous section, but I think it would help if we all listed here what we need in terms of brackets created.

Bracket Type	Example	Comments	Fixed Template
4 team-double elimination		NCAA Regionals (1999-Present); some older NCAA tourney; some conference tourneys	Template:4Team2ElimBracket
2 4-Team Double Elimination with 4-Team Single Elimination Play-In game	ACC 11-team Tourney	I used Template:4TeamBracket to represent the 4-team play in round, and then the Template:SECBracket for the rest of the tournament	The current setup is satisfactory.
8-Team TRUE Double Elimination with 2-Team Single Elimination Play-In game	ACC 9-team Tourney	I used Template:2TeamBracket to represent the play-in game, and then the Template:8Team-DoubleElimin-Bracket for the rest of the tournament, this template is terrible and is missing a game and lines of progression. I have no idea how to edit these and create what I need. It is also missing seedings.	Template:2TeamBracket +Template:8Team2ElimBracket
6-Team Double Elimination, no byes		NCAA tourneys from 1976 through 1998, SEC tourneys from 1993 through 1995, Big 12 tourneys in 1997 & 1998 [1]	Template:6Team2ElimA; Template:6Team2ElimB; Template:6Team2ElimC
8-Team ACC-Style Double Elimination		I did my best to illustrate how this bracket works. By breaking it down into three sections I think people get the idea without having to literally read instructions.	Template:ACCBaseball80-03
7-Team ACC Single & Double Elimination mix		This one is straight forward. It's basically a 4-team Double Elimination bracket with 3 seperate play-in games. Used from 1973-78	Template:ACCBaseball73-78
2 team; three game series	Super Regionals; Older (1950's-1970's) NCAA Tourneys	Basically, if you could take the "Finals" section of Template:CWSBracket and make it stand-alone then that would be perfect.	Template:3GameSeries
modified 8 team, double-elimination	old CWS (1950-?)	Template:8Team2ElimBracket doesn't work for 1950 College World Series (and others) - some of the later matchups don't work out	[in the works...]

feel free to add or move this list where appropriate. - Jober14 17:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
