Conference winners and tournaments
Thirty one athletic conferences each end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament or a double-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. The winners of these tournaments receive automatic invitations to the 2013 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. The West Coast Conference will launch a four team tournament for the first time in 2013. The winner of the Great West Conference, which remains in a provisional status, does not receive an automatic bid.
