2016 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament
The 2016 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament will be held from May 24 through May 29 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, North Carolina. The annual tournament determines the conference champion of the Division I Atlantic Coast Conference for college baseball. The tournament champion will receive the league's automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. This is the last of 19 athletic championship events held by the conference in the 2015–16 academic year.[2][3][4]
The tournament has been held every year but one since 1973, with Clemson and Georgia Tech each winning nine championships, the most all-time. Defending champion Florida State has won 6 titles since their entry to the league in 1992. Charter league member Duke, along with recent entrants Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame have never won the event. Louisville plays their second season in the ACC in 2016.
Format and seeding
The winner of each seven team division and the top eight other teams based on conference winning percentage, regardless of division, from the conference's regular season will be seeded one through ten. Seeds one and two are awarded to the two division winners. The bottom four seeds play an opening round, with the winners advancing to pool play. The winner of each pool plays a single championship.[5][6][7]
