HOW A CHAMPION IS CROWNED

Shriners Children's College Showdown

Beginning in 2024, Shriners Children’s and REV Entertainment began crowning a champion for the Shriners Children’s College Showdown held at Globe Life Field. A tournament champion is determined based on the following criteria:

  • Winning Percentage (min. 3 games)
    • Tiebreaker #1: Run Differential
    • Tiebreaker #2: Head-to-Head Record (void if teams do not play one another)
    • Tiebreaker #3: Total Runs Scored
    • Tiebreaker #4: Coin Flip

The Tennessee Volunteers were crowned champions of the 2024 tournament based on run differential.
