The League Play of the CCA Summer Series has come to a close, and we now know our teams for the championship bracket.
Throughout the month of July, 32 teams played 450 matchups. While many have stayed on top, massive upsets and surprises have come with teams like Boise State and Illinois State University finishing outside of qualifying numbers.
After lots of exciting play, the 12 teams standing that will be entering into Championship are:
East Standings
Synching the first spot in the east, Northwood University continues to dominate with a strong 14-1 record and the largest differential in the competition of 38, and will be joined by the following:
2. West Virginia University
3. Ball State University
4. University of Akron

Championship Structure
These remaining 12 teams will enter into a hybrid double elimination bracket, where first and second place of each league will duke it out in the Upper Semifinals in a best-of-seven. The lower ranked teams will pair up and play best-of-five for each matchup for Lower Round 1, and again for those who advance to Lower Round 2. After, all game play will go back to best-of-seven.
The Lower Quarterfinals will have the losers of the Upper Semifinals face the winners of Lower Round 2. Lower Semifinals will place the winners of Lower Quarterfinals against each other. Lower Final will be the winner of Lower Quarterfinals versus loser of Upper Finals. The Grand Final will be winners from both brackets.
Teams who made their top 6 in league play have already won $400-$1,000 based on rank. All will win more for playing in the championships, with the #1 spot taking home $1,500. Along with the financial gain, those who do well will have fantastic momentum going into Fall seasonal play!
