The Division III tournament is regional by nature- teams rarely play other teams outside their regions(except at spring training) and the NFCA poll is also very regional- as you can see by the above quotel. There will be more tournament sites in the Northeast due to the concetration of schools there. Conference champions are even more imprtant since there are only 19 at-large bids at DIIi.Budgets are small- tournaments tend to be closer to home. Team that finished second in the WCWS(diii) was not even ranked until the last poll

find it odd that half (8) of the regional hosts were at-large teams.
"WCWS(diii)" No such thing.
