National Collegiate Roller Hockey Championships
The annual National Collegiate Roller Hockey Championships, formerly the Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships, tournament determines the top inline hockey team in NCRHA Division I, Division II, Junior College Division and B Division.
The NCRHA Division I National Collegiate Roller Hockey Championship is a round-robin followed by a single elimination competition that has determined the collegiate national champion since the inaugural 2004 NCRHA Division I Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships. The tournament features 24 teams representing all seven Division I member organizations in the nation. The Selection Committee seeds the entire field from 1 to 24 within six pools of 4 teams. The winners of the seven Division I regional championships receive automatic bids to participate in the NCRHA National Championships. The tournament begins with initial pool play at a single site.
In setting up the tournament, the Selection Committee seeks to ensure "competitive equity." Teams seeded No. 1 through No. 4 are placed in "Pool A", No. 5 through No. 8 are placed in "Pool B", etc. After round-robin competition, all teams are seeded based on pool by pool ranking, where No. 1 team in "Pool A" will be seeded #1 in the single-elimination bracket. No. 2 team in "Pool A" will be seeded #2, and No. 3 team in "Pool A" seeded #3, etc. Regional matchups are avoided in the pool play; should seven or more teams from one region make the tournament, this guideline may be disregarded in favor of preserving the tournament's integrity.
