1973 NAIA District Tournaments

The field of 112 teams in the 1973 NAIA Baseball Championship is broken down into 30 geographically based District Tournaments. 2 Districts (5 and 28) gave the District championship to the champion of the only conference in the district. The 4, 5, and 6 team District tournaments are typically a double elimination format (District 31 is single elimination, some have single elimination 1st rounds), while the 2 team tournaments are best of three format. The top team in each bracket advances to one of eight Area Tournaments.
