The 2000 Atlantic 10 Conference Baseball Championship was held at Bear Stadium in Boyertown, Pennsylvania from May 18 through 20. It was the 13th and final tournament held in Boyertown. It featured the top two regular-season finishers of each of the conference's six-team divisions. West Division top seed Virginia Tech defeated Massachusetts in the title game to win the tournament for the third time, earning the Atlantic 10's automatic bid to the 2000 NCAA tournament.[1][2]

## Seeding and format

[edit]

Each division's top teams, based on winning percentage in the 21-game regular season schedule, qualified for the field. In the four-team double-elimination format, the East Division champion played the West Division runner-up, and vice versa. In the West Division, Virginia Tech's regular season series win over George Washington gave it the top seed.[3]
