Unclear if it is a recommendation or a mandate:

Report: NCAA to announce 50% capacity limit for all baseball and softball championship events

The NCAA could soon announce a capacity limit for all baseball and softball championship events, which would include the College World Series and Women’s College World Series, per D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers. According to an email obtained by Adam Sparks of the Tennessean, the NCAA has recommended Regional and Super Regional hosts allow no more than 50% capacity at stadiums due to COVID-19 protocols. The guidelines include all outdoor championship events on the spring calendar, including fall sports being played this season.

“The COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group recommended predetermined championship sites follow the guidelines established by the respective state and local authorities,” read the NCAA email. “The group recommended a venue capacity for outdoor championship events could rise to no more than 50 percent capacity if permitted by those governmental authorities.”

Tournament selections for the 2021 College World Series are scheduled for Monday, May 31. Games start with Regionals and continue through Super Regionals before the opening day of the College World Series on Saturday, June 19 at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. The CWS Finals is expected to start Monday, June 28, and due to a best out of three series the final championship game could fall on either Tuesday, June 29, or Wednesday, June 30.

Selections for the 2021 Women’s College World Series are scheduled for Sunday, May 16. Regionals begin on Friday, May 21, and continue through Super Regionals set for the following week. Eight teams will play in the WCWS beginning Thursday, June 3, with the finale expected Wednesday, June 9.
