Who are YOUR Picks for the Women’s College World Series?

To borrow a song title from the Holiday Season, if you’re a softball fan and love the college game, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!”

The field is set for the NCAA D1 tournament which kicks off Thursday with action in the Eugene Regional including the top overall seed Oregon Ducks and then Friday every Regional will take place.

All games will be televised or live streamed on the ESPN family of networks (see the schedule below). You can click HERE for a printable bracket of the NCAA tournament.

So who are YOUR picks to make it to the Women’s College World Series to take place May 31 through June 6 in Oklahoma City?

Let’s have a contest and see who can get closest to picking the Final 8—those that will make it to the WCWS!

Go to our Extra Inning Softball Facebook Page and list the 8 teams you think will make the World Series and as a tie-breaker pick your overall champion.

The top 3 finishers will get a FREE Extra Inning Softball annual subscription (or a year added to their current subs).

All entries must be in by next Saturday at 9 pm EST (we’ll let you get a taste of Regional play to give you a head start!)
