The College World Series has been around in varying formats since 1947.
The first two years of the tournament had the championship decided by a best-of-three series, but from 1949 to 2002, the CWS crowned its champion through a double-elimination format. Then, in 2003, the finals returned to a best-of-three series, which it has continued as ever since.
